Grandmaster Ursine Gauntlets

Grandmaster Ursine Gauntlets are the hand armor of the grandmaster Bear School gear, the highest tier of the set, added with the Blood and Wine expansion. They are heavy armor built for a tanky build that takes hits and fights back, and their headline bonus is +11% Adrenaline Point gain.

Compared with the Mastercrafted Ursine Gauntlets the armor rating goes from 73 to 87, and they gain an upgrade slot. Since patch 4.0 the recipe needs the mastercrafted piece, so the whole chain of Ursine gauntlets diagrams is required. The rest of the grandmaster set: armor, trousers, boots.
