Viper Gauntlets are medium witcher gauntlets from Hearts of Stone. They give 85 armor and +10% Poison resistance at level 39. The diagram is bought from Countess Mignole at the Borsodi Brothers' Auction House during the main quest Open Sesame!. They are late-game gauntlets from Oxenfurt.
They also give +5% piercing, +5% slashing, +5% monster and +5% elemental resistance. Worn with the Viper Armor, trousers and boots, they spread resistance across physical, monster, elemental and Poison damage.
