Medieval Cotton Padded Mitten Gauntlets were important to protect the hands during medieval sword craft training or fencing. These padded mittens are made of 100% heavy cotton, padded with three layers of wool felt and is lined with cotton to add life to the garment. Also, the palm side has a lining of good quality leather to strengthen the grip of the wearer. These have been exclusively designed to be worn under steel gauntlets to give maximum protection to the hands.
