gauntleted
Wearing metal gloves
Gauntleted describes a hand or arm wearing a gauntlet—a heavy protective glove, typically armored or reinforced.
The word appears mostly in historical or fantasy contexts: His gauntleted fist struck the table.
It can also describe hands wearing any thick, protective gloves: gauntleted workers handling molten metal.
