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.
