Gourdlets are sturdy gauntlets crafted from hollowed-out gourds, providing excellent protection for the hands. The outer surface is reinforced with a layer of hardened gourd shell, while the interior is lined with soft leather for comfort. A sleek iron and gold bracer is strapped over the top for additional protection.

Gourdlets were initially crafted by Pappy Grewwit, a resourceful farmer seeking a way to repurpose extra gourds. Over time, their popularity spread, and skilled artisans enhanced the design for use in combat. They became favored among adventurers exploring vine-laden regions like Herbacium.
