A pair of these gloves appear as
normal lightweight handwear, but they are most useful magic items, and
radiate their dweomer if a detection is attempted.

The wearer can have
hands of large (human) or small (halfling) size. He or she will be enabled
to swim os fast as a triton (15”) under water, and as fast as o merman
(18’) an the surface. Of course, these gauntlets do not empower the
wearer to breathe water. These gloves also give the wearer a very strong
and able gripping and holding ability with respect to climbing, so as to
enable him or her to climb verticol or nearly verticol surfaces, upwards or
downwards, with a 95% probability of not slipping and falling -- and if the
wearer is a thief the gountlets increase success probability to 99.5%.
