bracers

Forearm armor pieces

Bracers are protective coverings for the forearms.

In archery, a bracer shields the inner arm from the bowstring's snap.

In fantasy games and medieval contexts, bracers are armor pieces—leather or metal guards strapped to the wrists and forearms: The warrior equipped leather bracers before battle.

The singular bracer also means a stimulating drink, something that braces or invigorates.
