Though little more than crude leather straps reinforced with even cruder iron plates, boundless tales of dexterous doers-of-derring deftly deflecting dorlachs and redirecting dints with naught but these wristlets have made the equipment a popular choice for those who dream of being a hero but currently lack the monetary means.
