Greaves and cuisses, but not gauntlets and helmets

LEG ARMOR

Not available

This clue lists pieces of armor that protect different body parts. "Greaves" cover the shins, and "cuisses" guard the thighs—both are types of leg armor—while "gauntlets" (hands) and "helmets" (head) are excluded to steer you toward the answer. The hint plays on grouping items by function, making "LEG ARMOR" the straightforward fit.
