Cons

Best Uses

Backcountry

Comments about SmartWool Liner Gloves - Men's:

Would not trade them. Lightweight, great fit, wool but 'soft/cashmere' feel. While these are considered 'liners', they were the sole gloves I wore on a recent winter 3-day backpacking trip w/temps of high-teens to low-forties. I had a heavier pair, but never pulled them out of my backpack. I consider myself a 'heat-generator', others in cold temps may need something more.

Often on a hike, this is the only pair of gloves I need, even in 20F weather. I lost one (left hand if you see it on a west suburban Chicago trail) and have no reluctance buying another pair.

Comments about SmartWool Liner Gloves - Men's:

I'm a big fan of Smartwool products, but these gloves were very disappointing. They started to pull the first time I wore them for a jog. After about a dozen uses in the past month, they look like they should be 10 years old and moth eaten. Don't waste your money on these. Very disappointed Smartwool would put out a product like this.

Comments about SmartWool Liner Gloves - Men's:

I love these gloves. I live in Northern Maine, and they keep me plenty warm. I wear them by themselves in cool weather, when walking the dog or something where rugged gloves aren't required. And when the temp drops, and I'm working outdoors, I wear them under my Marmot Exum gloves. So far, I've been just fine in all but the very coldest weather, and even then if I'm not outside for too long. Best liners I've ever had.

Comments about SmartWool Liner Gloves - Men's:

These are a nice pair of liner gloves. Even though mine developed a couple of small holes, they are still functional after 5 years of not-very-rugged use.

I like them for cold weather running, because they keep my hands warm but breath nicely. They work fine for hikes in cool weather without much rugged terrain. For backpacking and hikes with more rugged terrain or cooler weather, I prefer a more rugged, windstopper glove.

Comments about SmartWool Liner Gloves - Men's:

I couldn't decide between synthetic and smart wool so I gave these a try. To my surprise they kept warm in temp. I would not expect them to work (30F).
Bought them originally to use as a liner under my windproof biking glove. Together the two gloves work great. Had my hand outside my car while driving 70mph at temps of 35F and did not get cold at all.

Only problems I have had are when dealing with velcro (likes to stick to it due to being wool) and other small sharp objects (key-rings) tend to catch a thread and pull. Not a big deal though as long as you avoid them and w/ the velcro pulling it away slowly left no noticeable damage.

Great gloves, feel like their not there, allow for better circulation if under used as a liner (think hand-warmers, allow for better heat transfer).

Comfy gloves -- wool is magical

By solarweasel

Pros

Snug Fit/Stretch

Cons

Wears Out Quickly

Best Uses

Hiking

Comments about SmartWool Liner Gloves - Men's:

I purchased these gloves exclusively for running during the winter months but wound up using them on hikes, during the bike commute, in the mountains, etc. They aren't windproof, but that's only an issue if they get wet. Fortunately wool dries quickly and, while kept dry, these are nice and toasty (but breathable).

I used them a LOT over the past two years and they are now starting to wear out (developing holes). I don't mind replacing them since they're quite cheap, but I wish they would've lasted longer.

Comments about SmartWool Liner Gloves - Men's:

Bought these as a liner under my cycling gloves. I liked them because they are thin, I tried to find a pair of silk liners but this was the thinist REI had. They do not help keep my hands warm at all! I even tried them w/ my everyday gloves and still cold digets! They are so useless that I am taking them back.
