Minus33 Merino Wool 3600 Glove Liner

I'm a year-round bicycle commuter, even when temps get into single digits or sub zero. No single piece of clothing is ever going to be the solution to battling the elements--the advice is always to "layer up". That applies to gloves too. These alone won't keep your hands warm in anything but moderate temps (45+), and the heavier, expensive fleece-lined gloves alone can hit lower temp ranges (in my case, maybe down to 20's), but slip these babies inside decent fleece-lined primary gloves and you'll be covered to extremes.I especially like that these are merino wool, as opposed to cotton or neoprene. This means that they are very warm, but also breathable, and if they get a little damp will still keep you warm. Neoprene doesn't breathe or wick as well, and cotton is worse than worthless if it gets damp.

My use for these is a glove that provides dexterity during cold weather photography. When temperatures are in the mid 20s or higher, I can use this an only glove almost indefinitely - well at least a few hours. With lower temperatures than that, they work well as glove liners. I've used these in temperatures as low as -4F. How well they work at these very low temperatures depends on whether there is significant wind or not. In the absence of wind, I can use these for ~ 20 mins to do things like work on my camera or computer before needing to warm my hands up. If there is significant wind, you will easily feel uncomfortable in a minute or less; I don't think there is a dexterous glove in existence that will protect you when it is windy and 0F outside! They do work very well as liners under a thicker glove under these conditions though. Touch screen functionality is non-usable both on my phone and camera. I can use the touchpad of my laptop, but I have gone back to using the buttons and dials of my DSLR. The size chart on the Amazon page was accurate and they fit my hands as expected. Overall a good purchase.

Putting these liners inside of other gloves made little to no difference at all in keeping my fingers warm, even at 47 degrees, while riding a motorcycle. Traveling a steady 65 MPH, even with hand guards installed on the bike to help deflect wind, my fingers were STILL freezing after about 20 minutes. By the end of my 45-minute ride, my fingers were getting dangerously cold to a point where it was becoming difficult to actuate my controls. Same results with different gloves slipped over them. Having these liners does almost nothing for warmth; it just makes your fingers fat and clumsy.I've also previously tried thinner polyester glove liners with EXACTLY the same result, so these fancy "ooooh, it's Merino wool!" liners are no better at all.

Great gloves/glove liners. I have Raynaud's syndrome and I live in New England. My fingers stop working and hurt when the temperatures near 35 degrees F. I am outdoors hunting or trecking with grand children all winter. I recently unlocked a game camera, removed the SD card, viewed the card, and put everything back as it was with my glove liners on my hands with temperature near 30 deg. F. and no pain with exceptional dexterity.

Really warm and work great as a glove liner. I used these gloves during winter camping trips. They work great in a comfy sleeping bag to keep my hands warm at night. Do note that these gloves are knitted wool which can be fragile. They are only to be worn as a glove liner! If you try to do any task with them they will snag, rip and slip. They are warm enough to wear under a pair of leather work gloves even on the coldest of mornings.

I ordered two. I ordered an XL for my husband, and a L for myself (glove fingers are ALWAYS too short for my hand and the L were longer than my fingers. Finally!) I wore mine layered under another glove walking around Philly in 30* weather. My fingers were freezing with the other gloves. Once I added these as a liner, I was completely comfortable. Highly recommend.

I was getting into fat biking and was regularly getting my hands cold inspite of trying different good brand ski gloves. I finally decided to with bar mitts after reading numerous review. With bar mitts I needed a liner for following :-- Retain the body head- would not become more cold when it sweats- Not bulky so that easily slip into the bar mitts and I have better control over the brakes and gearsI heard great things about merino wool which satisfied all my above needs so I gave these a try. It has been like 4months now and I am very impressed by these. I have even ridden -5F where I wore these as liner to ski gloves for skiing and in fat biking as an additional layer. Sometime they feel cold initially until your body heat gets generated and these do a great job in retaining that heat. These should also be good for running because of the features that I listed earlier. I will post another update in an year for durability point of view. I got black color, only thing to watch out is working with velcro with gloves on and these aren't smart to work with phone in cold weather without taking the goves off. So if thats your requirement you can look for alternatives.**If you found this review helpful please press the button below this review (It really helps me).**

I purchased these to wear under heavier hunting gloves. They are very snug, especially in the fingers, but that is what you want in a liner glove. They provide marginally better insulation properties over the acrylic gloves that I had been using. No itch, but it takes two washings to eliminate any smell that could spook a deer. I do not expect them to last more than 3-4 years based on 3 weeks of use.
