Your daily activities can be pretty darn hard on the wrists. Fencing, driving, yoga, archery, makeup application, egg beating, shopping. (Okay, maybe not so much fencing and archery.)

Clearly, you need a set of wrist gauntlets.

Designers at the Dutch line People of the Labyrinths, best known for their trippy creations, had you in mind when they made shearling versions of the unusual accessory.

The leather exterior is of high quality and tooled with intricate patterns and designs; the inside part has a layer of sheepskin to keep you warm as you head into the colder weather. These are sure to protect your hands and wrists from the elements (or whatever else they need protecting from), while giving your fingers wiggle room.

Given that they’re pretty unusual looking, you should probably prepare for a barrage of inquiries and curious stares.

So get ready to run the gauntlet.
