These gloves are a great option for high risk activities such as PVP, as they only cost 6,500 GP whilst still providing higher bonuses than a combat bracelet. While only 1 Defence is required to wear these gloves, it is impossible to obtain them without reaching at least 34 Defence, due to the minimum 20,000 Defence experience from Monkey Madness I (required to complete the King Awowogei sub-quest) and 2,000 Defence experience from Nature Spirit (required to complete the Lumbridge Guide sub-quest).
