Glove liners are thin, supple
gloves that are worn inside
regular gloves. Glove liners
are designed to provide an
extra layer of protection
against injury, to absorb
perspiration and to increase
the warmth of the gloves.
Glove liners provide extra
padding to cushion the hand
and protect it from bruising.
Anyone who has worn rubber
gloves for protection while
doing household chores knows
how sweaty and uncomfortable
the wearer’s hands can become
in a very short time. Heavier
rubber gloves for outdoor work
cause the same problem, and
glove liners are the best
solution. Most of the glove
liners are designed to be worn
alone when temperatures are
moderate and inside other
gloves in very cold
conditions. Fit is very
important for effective glove
liners, the liner’s fingers
should be slightly longer than
the wearer’s fingers. The
material should not be
stretched tightly across the
palm or the back of the hand.
However, the liner should fit
snugly, so that all the skin
on the wearer’s hand is in
contact with it. People who
suffer from cold hands all
winter should consider wearing
glove liners as part of their
glove system. They will be
warmer and more comfortable
for the entire season.
