On the other hand you can easily find gauntlets and boots in a nightcreatures caves. If theres a body of a sentient creature inside this cave it's almost certain that you'll find gauntlets and boots fitting this creature inside this cave.

EDIT: I just thought this might be related somehow.

The point is that you never see creatures wearing them.

Checked out in Adventure Mode. Most castle guards in the Capital only had metal head and chest armour, some (mostly ranged units) had only cloth and non-armour leather. I'm pretty sure Goblin sieges also come similarly equipped. Nomads/Bandits are only ever in regular cloth, never proper armour, not even for boss characters.

Considering how many gauntlets lie around in the shops, this counts as confirmed as far as I'm concerned

Same for guards and soldiers in the dwarven sites, only head and upper body armor.
