Thick insulated mittens and gloves are a necessity in extremely cold environments, they do a great job at keeping your hands warm but also make all kinds of tasks difficult. Lightweight liner gloves help bridge that gap between warm weather and heavyweight winter gloves by extending the use of your regular gloves far into the cold and wet seasons.

Merino wool is a fantastic choice for next-to-skin wear; most notably it feels good against the skin and retains it´s insulating properties even when soaking wet. So it's like regular wool, but better. Oh, and did we already mention how nice it feels?

Durable liner gloves

Liner gloves must be fitting and as thin as possible, otherwise they just don't work. But with such lightweight and intricate construction comes many problems, how can you make them strong enough? We went through numerous other manufacturer's gloves when designing these and came to the conclusion that the single biggest challenge is in the seams, no matter how high-end you go the seams are always the first to give up.

With generous inlays and chain stitching combined with our trusted 80/20 merino/polyester blend we came to a functional result. These are pretty much as strong as liner gloves can be without sacrificing functionality. When used correctly the L1 liner gloves will serve you a long time!

A good next-to-skin base layer keeps you feeling comfortable in any conditions to do this it needs to be lightweight and effectively moisture wicking. We use a lightweight merino wool blend for our base layers, natural and very functional material for this purpose.
