Thanks everyone. Yes I was really questioning "gauntlet". Yes I also envisaged a manica
but the "covers the gap under the arm pit" is fascinating. I have not heard of a manica at Olympus or in a specifically Greek context before. I also think that here is evidence, or at least "recommended" evidence for a vambrace in the early(?) Hellenistic period (could be called that-no??)
