Brigandine-and-splint mittens

Description

Experience authentic medieval hand protection with these Brigandine-and-Splint Mittens, expertly crafted to balance defense, flexibility, and comfort. Featuring a combination of steel plates (brigandine style) riveted onto a tough leather glove base, these mittens are reinforced further with articulated splints along the fingers and back of the hand.

This design offers excellent impact resistance while maintaining mobility, making them ideal for heavy combat scenarios such as HMB (Historical Medieval Battles), reenactments, and live-action role-playing. The leather foundation provides a snug fit and breathability, while the strategically placed steel plates and splints absorb blows and reduce injury risk.

These mittens evoke the practical hand armor used by foot soldiers and mercenaries during the late medieval period, making them both functional and historically accurate. Adjustable straps ensure a secure fit, and the durable craftsmanship guarantees reliable performance in rigorous combat conditions.
