Liners

Liners: stay warm, maintain dexterity

Liners enhance warmth without sacrificing dexterity. For intense activities or cold outings, prefer quality outdoor sports gloves. They easily slip under your main gloves.

Types of liners and benefits

Thermal liners: insulating and often made of synthetic fibers. They retain heat even when wet. Ideal for cold days.

Cold-resistant liners: designed to protect against wind and prevent heat loss. Their fit is often snug to keep warmth close to the skin.

Silk liners: thin and lightweight. They provide a comfortable layer and wick moisture. You can also buy Smartwool gloves for a more insulating merino wool alternative.

How to choose your liners?

1) Assess the temperature and effort. For high effort, prefer breathable models. For long immobility, choose strong insulation.
2) Choose the right size: too tight, they cut off circulation; too loose, they don't insulate.
3) Think about layers: a thin liner + a waterproof glove is often the best combination.
