	Gauntlets in [[metal weapons groups\|re-enactment]] are typically of the same style as would have been worn by actual warriors. Generally a combatant may not enter the field without some form of hand protection but the degree of protection varies with time period and group as well as type of combat that the combatant will be undertaking. In generally the more likely the person will be struck on the hands the more likely that a substantial gauntlet will be required.

			==Gauntlets in the SCA==
	In the [[SCA]], all [[fighter]]s must wear hand protection as part of their [[armour]]. For [[heavy fighter]]s, this ideally is a gauntlet, but sometimes the cheaper option is a sporting glove like a [[gumby]]. The exception is if the hand is already protected by something else, e.g. something covering the handle of a [[shield]]. [[Archer]]s can wear a light glove with the tips of their draw fingers being uncovered. Fencers must wear at least a glove. Armoured gloves are treated as a different piece of armour and have special rules regarding their use.		In the [[SCA]], all [[fighter]]s must wear hand protection as part of their [[armour]].
