A pair of these gloves appears to be nothing more than light leather handwear of the everyday sort. Naturally, they radiate magic if so detected. 

They size themselves magically to fit any hand, from that of a huge human to that of a small halfling, when drawn on. 

A pair of gauntlets of dexterity increase overall Dexterity by 4 points if at 6 or less, by 2 points if at 7-13, and by 1 point if Dexterity is 14 or higher. 

Furthermore, wearing these gloves enables non-thief characters to pick pockets or open locks as if he or she were a 4th level thief; if worn by a thief they increase these abilities by adding 10% to the normal percentage chance for the character's level.
