Gloves of the Pugilist (Skyrim)

Gloves of the Pugilist are a unique pair of fur gauntlets found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Acquisition
They are worn by Gian the Fist who can be found in The Ratway in Riften. After killing the two bandits near the entrance of the ratway, continue down the hall and jump off the path where the bridge is, take a right once down by the bridge and keep following that path. Here Gian the Fist is located in a room full of bear traps. He will attack upon sight, but once defeated he can be looted to receive these unique gloves.

Enchantment
This is the only item in the game to have the Fortify Unarmed enchantment. There are no randomly generated pieces that possess this enchantment. The enchantment can only be placed on a ring, gloves or gauntlets.

The enchantment will stack if placed on gauntlets/gloves and a ring. While obsolete at mid-to-high levels, the extra damage is easily enough to win any brawl in the game in a matter of seconds.

Khajiit benefit most from this, as their claw bonus applies in addition to wearing gauntlets/gloves.

In addtion, the gloves can be disenchanted and the enchantment increased; with the heavy armor perk "Fists of Steel", one can stack this so that unarmed becomes usable until later into the game.

Trivia
A Pugilist is another name for a professional boxer or fist-fighter.
