Both Robert and Brian are correct about the gauntlets.
Don Aeron added mail gauntlets in the April 2006 edition of the Ansteorran
Rapier Rules as a new secondary. This is not restricted to "armor as worn"
tournaments. However, as with all weapons and secondaries, you and your opponent
must agree that those weapons are acceptable.
There are a few points of note concerning mail gauntlets:
* Basically, it must be a REAL metal/chain gauntlet and only the areas
covered with metal are proof against hits.
* The gauntlet does NOT protect the hand from being damaged if the hand
is grasping a blade and that blade moves or twists in the hand.
* The gauntlet is a secondary, not a gloved hand, and thus is NOT
approved for use against the other fighter's person (no "fleeting contact").

Ok so I was not all wrong in the thought that it is not an automatic armor.
It has to be OK'd by the opponent.
