Visby brigandine gauntlets

As every true woman had to have little black dress in her wardrobe, so every true reenactor/warrior has to have Visby brigandine. There is an armor must-have, rough but reliable classics of European armor of the middle – 2nd part of the XIV century.

Even if there are still discussions about brigandine's reliability up to now, so perfect protective qualities and robustness of Visby brigandine gauntlets (which had been also found on island Gotland, Sweden) are beyond doubts.

Archaeologists excavated fragments of 18 gauntlets, but today we are interested only at the model, which is referred to the so-called “Type III” and “Type II” just a little.

Interesting feature of these brigandine armour gauntlets is the large plates (metacarpal, which covers base of the thumb and those, which cover knuckles), fixed over the supple leather base. Smaller plates are fixed under it. Besides, for better hands’ protection, we completed it with wristband, similar to one, which is referred to the “Type II. According to some archaeologists, this model could have such wristband, but it was lost.

If you are still deciding how to complete your brigandine armor, so these medieval brigandine gauntlets would be a perfect choice as for good hands’ protection, so for a nice opportunity to shine up to a festival.
