Dragon gauntlets, when uncharged Worn-out dragon gauntlets (not to be confused with Dragon gloves from the Culinaromancer's Chest), are a reward that can be purchased with tokens from the Fist of Guthix minigame. They are not like Barrows equipment, which degrades in use over time. Instead they come in "charged form" and only lose their charge when the user dies wearing or carrying the gauntlets, or if the owner uses them on Reggie and asks him to uncharge them. They can be recharged by using the worn-out gauntlets on Reggie and paying him 50 Fist of Guthix tokens. They can only be traded when completely uncharged and require 60 Defence to wear. The stats of the gauntlets only decrease after it has been purposefully worn out or if you die with them on.

These gauntlets give the best defensive bonuses of any gauntlets. However, all metal gloves available from the Culinaromancer's Chest reward from the Recipe For Disaster quest give better offensive bonuses, and gloves from iron and above give better strength bonuses. However, to get the metal gloves from the Culinaromancer's Chest requires a player to go through a series of progressively harder quests, so obtaining the gauntlets may be easier for some.

On 25 March these got a graphical update to be more consistent with the Dragon platebody. The spikes' colour went from ivory to light grey.

Note: On death, they will be uncharged in case the player keeps them. Losing them completely is always a risk.
