1 / 7THE HEAT COMPANY MERINO LINER PRO Merino Touchscreen Gloves
THE HEAT COMPANY MERINO LINER PRO gloves are merino wool liners designed for touchscreen use, either on their own or beneath a compatible outer glove. A palm-and-finger silicone print, long cuffs and a pocket for a hand warmer add practical details, though customer feedback is divided on warmth and value.

This disagreement matters for a liner that can be worn alone or layered, so intended conditions and willingness to add an outer glove are relevant.
