Terramar Adult Thermasilk Glove Liner

I got these (and Terramar's sock liners) for a trip to NYC. I knew the gloves I already owned wouldn't be warm enough, but I didn't want to buy heavy gloves that I would never wear again. I bought these to wear under my gloves, and my fingers and hands never once got cold (as opposed to my mom, who didn't have glove liners, and whose hands got cold despite wearing warmer gloves than I was). They're very thin and lightweight; you don't really know you're even wearing them. But they did their job perfectly. Reminder: These are *not* gloves. They are meant to be worn under a pair of gloves. There is no touchscreen functionality. The liners alone will not keep your hands warm.

I used these paired with leather gloves on an elk hunt recently and they did pretty good at 10F at keeping my hands from freezing, although they were noticeably cold - but not so much that flexing my hands didn't warm them back up. Once the temps got into the 20's I actually removed the leather gloves and wore these by themselves and my hands didn't get a chill at all. I think they'd work better under the leather if they (the leather) weren't as tight as they were, if I'd had a size larger in the leather I think my hands would have been warmer. Yes, like other posters have stated they do stain and snag easily, I wouldn't expect them not to. If you can't stand knowing that they're not going to remain pristine white then you should buy the black ones. 1/3/2016 Update: So I've been using these for running and have to say that these are impressive! Most recently I was in Littleton, Colorado and had several morning runs where the temps were anywhere from 6-14 degrees. I started out with my Manzella Men's Silkweight Windstopper Ultra Touch Gloves, Large, Black and after 3 miles or so had to take the outer gloves off - finishing as many as 5 more miles at an average of 10 degrees with just these on. Of course some users might have a different experience but for me, these are incredibly nice for running and being able to regulate body temp. As I said in my initial review, if you're worried about them not being as white as the driven snow then you should by the black ones. Oh yeah, an added benefit is that they are super soft for wiping your nose on cold runs.

Are they warm . Yes Are they ultra thin . Yes Are they going to last forever . No If you want mobility and warmth in one , you can't beat these , they will fit perfectly under even almost tight gloves , but they peel at the touch Velcro and they're gonna tear after a season or two. Buy two and be ready to switch them out when the time comes. Personally I view some things as not designed to last forever , and I'm fine with that , and fine with the price every two years for what they give me . But if you want a permanent liner that will be with you in five years time , look elsewhere. Value for money depends on what your looking for , personally mobility and warmth are king to me , I'm happy to pay the subscription for them. If they're not so important for you go for a merino or other base material. The build quality and seeming are excellent , but at the end of the day it is a paper thin material. Think of them more as stockings for the hands. Stockings aren't designed to last nor do we expect them to. This is a liner designed on the same principle.

I wore these under my regular gloves in Iceland and it was great to just pull off the outer glove and leave these on to take pictures. Worked well for taking pictures while keeping hand protected from cold.

I am sorry if I am too blunt, but this product does not perform as it is described. Period. 1) it is too thin and ddlicate. 2) as a consecuence, it just won't last more than a few hours (perhaps one day, seriously). 3) because it is so thin, it will not protect you and it is not water resistance. 4) Obvious conclussion: It is pathetically, pitifully and outregeously over priced. The inserver can perform some kind of delicate function, but is is laughable as described. Experience: After I put it on for the very first time and casually removed my glove, I was surprice and disgusted to see thdme fabric sticking out and literally undone.... it is not resistance to anything. Probably a grand mother or fragile elderly person can use it when she / ge goes to bed to warm a bit the hands... this is a dignify use... but for the price, probable she can stick with a real light glove. But please, do not sell this as an active pirce or garment to pfitect you and warm your gands under anything.... I partly purchased this becsuse of itgrrs feedback and it is a head scratcher... I pergaps gave too rought hsnds ir there is something wring with the feedback. And keep in mind: I wanted something like this as a liner for a motorcycle glove (which are expensive - one fir summer and ine fir winter). I purchased these inserters for the claim that it can be used as a liner for a motorcycle glove....or at least this show up when I searched.... never had the opportunity to use it for that purpose because it came undone with just a use in my backyard after removing the main glove... there was no work involved, no velcro, just walking around as I like to do....

I read other reviews and still got these. Others said they tended to come apart. Well, they're silk, and rather delicate material will necessarily have rather delicate thread - I mean, you can't use rawhide to sew them. I've had moderate frostbite twice and I also have a peripheral neuropathy (probably why I didn't realize I was getting frostbite!) Once that happens, you're more prone to frostbite again. I live in Michigan and it snows a lot. We must keep our deck shoveled regularly or risk the deck coming down. These gloves - in addition to alpine ski gloves - kept my hands warm and dry this last winter. No frostbite! Yay! I take care of my stuff. So with these glove liners, I kept them washed, and inspected for loose threads or holes. They went through an entire winter with no problems. I used them as LINERS - not as gloves alone. If need be, I'll mend them early. But so far, so good!

I like silk products for warmth. I use them exclusively as long underwear for skiing and outdoor activities. I've used Terramar products before with great success, so did not hesitate to order these gloves.I get cold hands easily and wanted something lightweight that I could wear indoors when needed. Overall these are well made, perhaps "too well made". They have an elastic knit cuff, roughly 2" long that has a very aggressive elastic; so much so that it cut the circulation off to my hands. And, FYI as a rule, I don't like knit cuffs on my outdoor gloves either, usually because they interfere with the fit of jacket cuffs. I took a chance and cut the cuffs off of these glove liners. And while not as neat looking as they came new in the package, they are MUCH warmer without the knit cuffs. I know I'll get some fraying at the ends, but so what? They'll be perfect as actual liners in my Marmot winter ski gloves when next ski season comes around. I would urge Terramar to rethink the design of the finished ends of their gloves. While others might think the cuff is fine, I'm not in that camp. I gave it a three star because of the cuff, but otherwise a 4 or 5 stars would be appropriate.

Just rode in 40f degree weather on my motorcycle. These inside my insulated winter gloves. No heated grips. Weather site said it feels like 33f and IT DID! Very cold. My finger tips were little numb but not bad. Going to add hippo hands and I don’t think I’ll need any heated gear. We’ll see. Also little big. Should have got medium. If in doubt order one size down
