Music Gauntlets

I designed these because I'm a pianist with tendinitis and I need something to keep my forearms warm to keep it from flaring up. They're elbow length with ribbing at the elbow, wrist, and palm. Since they're designed for musicians, the fingers don't get covered as in normal gauntlet/fingerless gloves.
