As it is Heavy gauntlets are a fairly useless item, they require a 21 strenght build limiting its use and they are considerably more expensive than the plate mittens which give just 2 armor points less.
My suggestion:

body armor: 10

The price is lowered by the ammount of 2000 and also the strenght requirement is lowered by one making it accesible and viable for a wider variety of players. It would still be considered a luxury item but not quite as crippling in its repair price as before
