Since I use them quite a bit outside of a shell, I’ve caught them on things and have ripped a couple of small holes in them. I mostly use them as a lightweight glove for nightime walks or driving on cold days. I use a mitt system so this is the only type of layering that I’ve done with the liners.Ībrasion: The gloves are intended to be liners. Had I known their performance capabilities prior to my purchase, I would have looked for something more effective. There was no literature that I found which explained the lower limits of these liners.

I anticipated the “heavyweight” liners to perform well at lower temperatures. At about freezing (32☏) (0☌), they lose their effectiveness. The gloves don’t really keep my hands that warm even in my OR Alti Mitt shells. I ordered the heavyweight liners in order to gain maximum warmth inside of a Goretex shell. Warmth: This is where the liner falls short in my opinion. Since they are synthetic fleece, they don’t retain moisture and keep your hands pretty dry. Water Resistance: The glove is just a fleece liner so they are not water resistant.īreathability: They breath quite well. There are no drawstrings or other accoutrements. They are comfortable in going out in cool weather.Īdjustability: There is no need for adjusting since the gloves are fitted. In other words, the stitching contours the natural form of the hand to a certain extent. Fit and comfort: The overall fit of the glove is nice.
