Leather Gloves

The silent ally in battle

Leather gloves were an indispensable piece of medieval warrior attire. Not only did they protect the hands from the cold, splinters, and cuts, but they also offered the combatant a firm grip on the sword, spear, or shield . In the heat of battle, the hands were the first line of contact, and protecting them meant maintaining control and staying alive in the fight.

Protection and advantages in combat

The hardened leather allowed it to withstand moderate impacts, while its flexibility ensured freedom of movement. Many gloves included reinforced knuckles or adjustable wrist closures, achieving a balance between defense and comfort. Thanks to these qualities, they became a common item for both light infantry and cavalry, who wore them under metal gauntlets.

• Lightweight gloves : perfect for archers and scouts, who required dexterity and speed.
• Reinforced gloves : with leather or plate reinforcements, used in close combat.
• Training gloves : ideal for practicing with weapons, minimizing injury risks.
