Sealskinz Merino liners - work a treat. And don't smell.

Decathlon do some cheap silk ones, I think they're in the snowsports section.

Decathlon silk aren't as cheap as they used to be but with them and some Altura Shield gloves I could ride in anything last winter.
edit they acually have a load of different versions from £4.99-£12.99 in running, hiking, sking and cycling sections.
Just got the new version of the Shield which seem to be even warmer.

How does everyone think silk compares to merino? The sealskinz above are only 6.50... I'm torn between that and decathlon silk

silk is overall better than merino - dries quicker, insulates better- not as hard wearing though and I think it doesn't wick as well, though I could be wrong

Icebreaker do merino glove liners. But DON''T BUY THEM.
They are 150 weight, nice and toasty, but last about 2 weeks. They cost £16.
I really like 150 weight merino as it is warm enough to use all the way through winter, but it is fragile and any nick turns into a tear very quickly.
I'm sure it is great for its intended purpose, but does not hold up under riding conditions.

Had some of these and went through finger ends in about a week. GF did the same. Rubbish.
Using cheap M&S wooly gloves under Sealskin outers at the mo, working fine, and cheaper to replace if I do go through them.

I'd say they were very similar. Silk base layers tend to have less volume, yet dont perform quite so well while wet. The difference is pretty small though. So for a glove liner intended for cycling the importance of low volume gives silk the win IMHO.
For everything else (tops, longs, socks etc.) I'd go merino every time.

Why are you lot ripping holes in your Merino liners?

Decathlon, look in the runners section as I got some merrino ones at around £3 in a sale/reduced the other day.

If you are willing to spend a little more the icebreaker glove liners are very good quality.

Sealskinz do nicey-nice liners, and Extremities (I think..), tho I saw them in a Sports Soccer advert so may be shite...
Looking for a really thin full-finger glove liner for these chillier mornings, any recommendations?
