arm guards
Limb defense gear
Arm guards are protective coverings worn on the forearms, used in sports, combat, and physical labor.
Archers wear arm guards to shield against bowstring snap.
In fencing and martial arts, they protect against strikes.
Industrial workers may wear them against cuts or burns.
Also called bracers or vambraces in historical and fantasy contexts.
