Review on Thermasilk Glove Liner For Adults By Terramar by John Frazier

I got these to go inside a pair of Memphis Ninja Ice gloves to keep my hands warm but flexible while working outside on the coldest winter days. I was working for a commercial HVAC contractor, so I needed something that would allow me the greatest level of tactile sensation possible while still being warm, and that is a balance that is always hard to find. So far, I have been happy with these gloves.First, they are surprisingly warm. They are extremely thin, so it wouldn't seem like they would provide much insulation, but they do keep my hands warm even on their own in mildly cold weather.Second, the material fits tightly around my hand and has a somewhat slick outer surface, which makes it perfect for use inside a tight but flexible glove like my Ninja Ices. These are designed to be used as liners, and they easily slide inside another pair of gloves to add warmth without noticeably decreasing the flexibility or sensitivity of my fingers.Thirdly, these allow maximum finger sensitivity. I can pull my hands out of my outer gloves, still wearing these, and generally still have enough tactile sensation to pick up 1/4" hex screws and manipulate tools. This means less time with my hands completely uncovered and exposed to the brutal wind and cold of a Western New York winter. May hands may still get cold wearing these outside my other gloves, but these extend their functional time.One negative, but not unexpected, aspect of these gloves is that they are not very tough. I didn't have high expectations on this point considering how thin they are, so this has not been a surprise. The material of these gloves has potential to get runs in it like a pair of pantyhose, and though mine are still in pretty good shape, they do have little snags and pills from getting caught on sharp objects. If you are using them for hiking, like I assume most people are, this may be less of an issue, although it is still a potential problem. A sharp sticks and rocks could damage these almost as easily as sheet metal. In any case, these are inexpensive, so even if you only managed to get a month of use out of them before buying another pair, they would still be a decent value considering the warmth they provide. Just think of them as socks for your hands.
