Glove Liner

How about a glove liner that insulates and won’t make you get sweaty palms when you’re working hard? The Icebreaker Glove Liner uses soft merino wool and a bit of Lycra to add a naturally moisture-handling, anti-odor, temperature-regulating layer between your hand and your glove. Wear this lightweight liner under ski or snowboard gloves, or use it on its own for chilly-morning drives to work.

Bottom Line: Go natural.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

good and bad

Like the gloves. Warm and great for wicking moisture. A solid liner glove or a good trail running glove for cold, wet days. On the down side, the stitching blew within a week of use. Miles.

Icebreaker had a bad run of gloves, the issue has been fixed and they will gladly replace your old ones.

I like these and wore them all winter.

By:
March 22, 2011

I got the small size, and it was really small, tight even for my teeny hands. But I wore them all winter for running, and they fit nicely under my sailing gloves too. I later got a medium pair, and they were waay to big for me. I use them and they're fine.
The small pair is beginning to come apart just a little on the base of the right thumb seam. I think that's reasonable enough, and I'll just put in a couple of stitches and continue to wear them. Also my right thumbnail is beginning to poke through. Also reasonable, I think.
Overall, I like these a lot and they kept my hands much warmer throughout the winter, in the rain and snow, than the usual running gloves.

Icebreaker gloves

By:
February 17, 2009

Their tops are fantastic but their gloves fall apart. The new 320 was poorly redesigned with stitching gaps between the fingers, the glove liner stitching came apart after a few months.
They don't respond to e-mails, they don't have a repair department and the person at customer service was decidely unfriendly and unhelpful and didn't even know details about their products. If you have a problem they blow you off. Ibex, Arc'tryx, and Marmot have repair departments and are friendly and helpful.

This is pretty much a woman's glove. Probably PH balanced for a woman but tough enough for a man...or something like that. But both colors are for Women.

Review Title

They size a bit small - I wear an size 8 hestra glove and the medium liners are a bit tight - short in the finger length, but overall fit my hand. The quality and comfort is great, like all Icebreaker merino.

Icebreaker broke my heart

Pretty pissed about spending money on these, but bottom line is, they suck. I've already tossed mine to the dogs.

I haven't seen any liners like this in any of the major children stores (like Children's Place, Gap Kids, or the like). I know some of the major ski/winter clothing dealers have kids gloves (North Face, Spyder) but I have not seen this particular product in children's sizes. I would try LLBean who might have something close.

Icebreaker glover liner

By:
November 28, 2008

Like the feel of the gloves, like a second skin.
Worked well in the fall and am presently using them within another pair of glove for the colder morning runs. Good wicking, but the stitching is coming apart! Have been mending!

careful with sizing

By:
December 17, 2010

I ordered the women's medium, but they were so tight. I tried turning them inside out, so the seams would be on the outside and provide just a little bit more room, but no luck. I think the fabric is nice, and they seem to be well made. I wouldn't wear them without mittens or gloves over them, unless it was not super cold outside.

Stitches came off the first day

By:
March 28, 2010

From the looks, feel, and fit they seemed pretty nice liners. However, first day I wear them on a boarding trip, the stitches came off (left hand, near the thumb). Returned them.

Two rips in a day

By:
March 15, 2010

I read that they had a "run of bad gloves"

well, I had a few runs, literally. First time on the slopes, pull them up tighter or off/and on. One day, two rips... definitely returning them

Nice Liners

By:
December 19, 2009

The liners are great- they are soft and warm. They come up high on the wrist which really helps keep my hands warm under other gloves. I haven't had any issues with the stitching yet but I know liners don't always hold up that well - so I expect they will fray at some point. These hold up to Icebreakers name for wool!

Pretty Good

By:
October 1, 2009

I like these so far. I needed a good liner and like these much better than some slightly thicker synthetic fleece gloves I have. I kinda wish they had some rubberized dots on the fingers, though. The fit seemed a little off, just make sure you realize the sizing is unisex. I wear a medium in most men's gloves and needed a large here. It helped me appreciate Backcountry's great service for the first time.

Good liners! They are definitely warm underneath a ski mitt or glove and good for warmer weather conditions and for running too!
