[Star Wars] Did any lightsaber duelists ever use a gauntlet or lightsaber chainmail?

I'm sure something could prevent a lightsaber from knicking knuckles and chopping off hands and limbs.

The ancient Dark Jedi and Sith used armor but it may have been meant to protect against Force imbued blades or blasters instead of lightsabers with the exception being Darth Bane who had parasites attached to his flesh whose carapace were extremely lightsaber resistant. Use of armor amongst the Jedi tended to wax and wane depending on how long they’ve been at war with it peaking in the Great Galactic War or the New Sith Wars.
