They just soak it up — and stay wet
Most liners absorb sweat like a sponge. Inside gloves, that moisture has nowhere to go — so it stays against your skin for hours.

Designed for environments where gloves are worn for hours - not minutes.
A glove liner is a thin inner layer worn underneath a regular glove. It is not a replacement for the protective glove, and it is not a cosmetic solution. It is a functional component designed to manage what happens inside gloves during extended use.
Most people don’t start by looking for a glove liner. They start because something stops working inside their gloves.
Adds warmth without bulk
Creates an insulating inner layer while keeping dexterity and grip.Separates skin from the outer glove
Reduces friction, pressure points, and mechanical irritation.Manages sweat during extended wear
Helps keep moisture from sitting directly against the skin when gloves stay on for hours.Most liners absorb sweat like a sponge. Inside gloves, that moisture has nowhere to go — so it stays against your skin for hours.
Heat, sweat and constant grip soften the skin over time. That’s when friction starts to do real damage.
Sealed gloves worn for hours don’t allow evaporation. So even ‘moisture-wicking’ fabrics end up leaving skin damp and slow to recover.
They can help, but many liners only absorb sweat instead of moving it away.
Inside sealed gloves, absorbed moisture has nowhere to evaporate. Over time, the liner becomes damp, and the skin stays wet. That’s when comfort drops and skin irritation increases.
Whether a liner helps depends on how it handles moisture over time, not just in the first hour
Because most “moisture-wicking” fabrics are designed for airflow, not pressure.
Inside gloves, airflow collapses. Sweat may move into the fabric, but it can’t leave the system. The result is moisture sitting close to the skin for longer periods.
Wicking without displacement doesn’t solve sweat inside gloves.
Historically, glove liners were made for warmth. Later, some were adapted for comfort or skin sensitivity. Managing sweat under pressure is a newer and less solved problem.
That’s why many liners work for cold hands, but struggle during long, active wear where sweat, heat and friction build up.
