Functional medieval gauntlets were an essential part of a knight or soldier's armor. They provided protection for the hands and fingers, which were vulnerable targets in combat. Metal gauntlets were more expensive and heavier, but provided superior protection. They were made of steel or iron, and often had metal plates on the palm and fingers.
