Does anyone use glove liners?

[STony G]

About 2 weeks ago, I purchased a pair of glove liners, stretch Polartec. What a difference. I wear them under my summer gloves and do not get cold @ 50deg and just cool at 40, not including the wind chill factor. The best $20.00 I ever spent. I am goinf to get the same glove with the wind block. I can only hope that I can get down a few more degrees. I may never use the heavy weight gloves again.

I've tried under gloves in the past but always found on long rides that they became sort of tight. I suppose this is due to having my top gloves fit right, maybe if I bought an over sized pair of tops and a good fitting under I would be ok but thats two more pairs of gloves in the pannier. I think I will manage with the three already in there.

I've had poly liners since day one...great addition and are ALWAYS in the front pocket ready if needed. I just bought some Gerbing heated liners and I've going to give them a try this weekend. I think I need bigger (but thinner) over gloves to use with the Gerbing liners. Warm hands make for a lot happier rider.

Hey Stony, where did you get them? My summer gloves are very light. In colder weather I use my Gerbings but the liners sound like a good plan for weather just cool but not cold.

I got some liners at REI and have used them whenever it's cool with my heavier gloves, or cold, with Gerbings. My summer gloves are pretty snug, so I'd have to upsize for use with those. And, I have a couple pair of those I can rotate through when necessary, so haven't seen the need.

Gonzo,
I bought them at Sport Chalet in Glendora.

If you want you can give my gloves a try before you buy. I can live without them for a couple of days.

Have you ever used the blue variety vinyl/rubber exam gloves....they work wonders under regular gloves...??

I always carry a couple of pairs for first aid, cold weather comfort, minor work on bike, etc..they do not take up much room and are very useful...

And are very inexpensive....

I've got a pair of silk one's I picked up at Cabela's that work decent. I've seen the PolarTec's but haven't tried them and I've got a set of Held Icebreakers for when I don't want to use the Gerbing G3's.

You're probably different but I was always fighting the 'few more degrees' until I got the electric gear. :06biker:

I use the silk glove liners from NewEnough (http://www.newenough.com/gloves/glove_liners/tour_master/silk_motorcycle_glove_liners.html). They are very thin and fit comfortably under my gloves.

Especially in spring and fall, when morning and evening temps can be fairly low, they make the difference between cold stiff hands and comfortable flexible hands.
It extends the temperature range of your gloves without making the fit bulky. Love 'em.

Since getting Gerbing gloves, I seldom use glove liners. But given you're in Ca, there may not be many occasions to use 'lectric gloves. When it rains, I wear thinner gloves under my Aerostitch digit mitts, and the liners add another layer of warmth.

I have some "plain" cotton liners. In fact, I used them this morning for the morning commute. 34 degrees when I left this morning from my place near San Diego.

Got G.I. polypropylene liners from Ebay, $5.49 + $3.00 shipping. They're thin enough to fit comfortably under my "spring" gloves (I was fingerless in the summer).

Years ago I used glove liners and "Hippo Hands" in the cold.
They really worked well...
Now I use a car.

I have heated glove liners from http://www.vaso.tv
they do a good job in moderately cold temps but are no substitute for heated grips or electric gloves when it gets really cold.
