Gothic gauntlets, 1450–1500, 1.2 mm

Plate armor, such as cuirasses, leg armor, arm harness, or gauntlets, offers increased protection against impacts during mock battles. Ensure that you always wear sufficient padding under plate armor, for example in the form of a gambeson.

Plate armor is considered battle-ready at a steel thickness of at least 1.6 mm.

Always measure your writing hand. Gently cup your hand and measure around the knuckles with the measuring tape. 19-22 cm: glove size 7. 22-24 cm: glove size 8. 24-27 cm: glove size 9. 27-30 cm: glove size 10.

To keep your mail components or plate armor properly in place, it is best to attach leather laces to your gambeson and fasten them to the armor/mail. The armor will then stay better in place during fighting.
