The gauntlets cover his hands and forearms and reach to his elbows, as well as covering them, and the boots cover his feet, shins, and knees. Despite this, Riku can bend his arms and knees as if there were nothing on them. The set is made to be light, yet strong and durable so it does not hinder Riku's speed, while still allowing him to pack quite a punch. This set is seen on Riku around 24/7, as he is always ready for battle, is it is convenient enough to walk around in, as he describes it is like wearing regular gloves and regular boots.
