Quiet for a while. May as well close it.

I hadn't mentioned it earlier because I don't know how reliable a game can be, but a major game released from Japan (Dark Souls 3) uses this word for gauntlets (image above), which was also what prompted my suggestion. Also I don't think I've ever seen a gauntlet / armoured glove that doesn't cover the back of the hand and wrist as well - but a single data point (and from a game) probably is not enough, I'll leave this here as reference and keep my eyes open for more

The other references are quite specific. I think glove and gauntlet are too general.

shinmeikai mentions "武具・農事用" so I thought those words would fit
