Smooth Gauntlets
The gauntlets or mittens were part of the armor worn by knights of medieval times. They were metal gloves they used to protect their fingers, hands, wrist area and part of the forearm in the bloody battles of the time.

During the 11th and 12th centuries, it consisted of a simple mesh bag with an opening in the fist to reach out the hand. They became leather gloves with an iron rounder over the back and mesh gloves that were buttoned on the sleeve. In the fourteenth century, the fingers are separated, until the middle of the sixteenth century in order to fire the pistol grip.
In many tournament armors of the fifteenth and early sixteenth century the left hand had mittens of fingers separated and the right hand, for the spear, defended by a mitten.
