arm guard
Archer's wrist shield
An arm guard is a protective covering worn on the forearm.
In archery, it shields the inner arm from the snap of the bowstring.
In sports like fencing, baseball, or lacrosse, arm guards protect against impacts.
Industrial and kitchen versions guard against cuts or burns: The glassblower wore arm guards against the heat.
