White dragon-hide gauntlets provide cold resistance and a minor PV bonus when worn.
They appear as white gauntlets when unidentified — the same as white leather gauntlets. They can be distinguished from their leather counterparts by their -2 to-hit penalty, although this can only be checked by equipping them.
Desirability[]
Cold resistance can be very useful early on when facing monsters with powerful cold attacks (e.g. ogre magus, ice vortex) or if facing Li-Hon-Kay for the 20th Arena fight.
As the game progresses, cold resistance diminishes in utility compared with the other elemental resistances, making these gauntlets less desirable.
