Typical high quality Ibex product
These are typical of Ibex products, well designed,well made and good performers. Ive used them under different cycling gloves in 30-40 degree temperatures and my hands have been extremely warm and comfy even after extended rides. They are neatly made and slip inside the cycling gloves easily. The best thing is ive used them several times and they dont really stink up at all. A must have in cycling gear bag!

Awesome liners!
I absolutely love these glove liners! They are the perfect weight. They keep your hands warm and dry, and they even work as stand alone gloves if you know you are going to work up a sweat. I bought a second pair! I also have a pair of Patagonia glove liners, but I like these so much more. They fit my fingers better, and the weight and material is so much nicer.

Definitely a great liner
I was very pleased with the quality and comfort of these gloves. They are very thin, which is exactly what I was looking for, but don't buy them if you are looking for a standalone glove.

2nd pair
And not because there was anything wrong with the first. They are so small and easy to just keep in your pockets for when you need gloves on the go. Warm enough to get you around town and not bulky.

comfortable
I love these glove liners. They keep my hands warm on days that are not too cold. If the temperature drops, I wear them with heavier gloves. For Wash D.C. weather they work just fine. The size M fits my size 7 glove hands.

A bit too thin
Bottom line I personally should have purchased the Ibex Shak liner glove, it is a bit more beefer (tofuer). Some of you may want a very thin soft wool liner and this would be for you but the Shak liner would be more durable also due to the density of the wool.

Stretch Merino Glove Liner
They fit very well, seams are unobtrusive and flat, nice design.
I bought a pair in black then a second pair in Titanium gray after I received the first pair.
Perfect.

Nice gloves
These are nice gloves but they didn't work for me. I'm a 5'10" female with long fingers and the mediums were at least 1/2" too short for me. Based on all the great reviews, I'm wondering if my pair was off or if my fingers are longer than I thought. I also wish there was a way they could make the fingertips seamless. Maybe I just noticed that though because I kept pulling them down to get them to be long enough. Unlike other reviews, I also didn't think they fit well under slimmer fitting gloves.

Good Extra Layer
My son is in the marching band and needed thin gloves to wear that would not interfere with playing his instrument (or show under his "uniform" gloves). These are warm enough for autumn and fit very snugly so they suit his purposes. He has very small hands for a teenager, and the extra small fit fine. The only complaint he had was that if they get wet, they stay wet and get cold in a hurry. I have washed these once and they held their shape -- did not put in the dryer, although I believe the tag said that is okay.

Fit like a glove!
These gloves are perfect for when you want something lightweight (but warm) under your bulkier mittens. I have small hands (sz 5-6, Women's)and the XS in Men's fit perfectly on my hands and under my mittens. They are very soft and fit so perfectly that you can easily manipulate zippers, buttons, etc without taking them off, which is a real perk when it is freezing outside!

best for camera
this is the best one for camera when it is very cold weather. i do not need to take my glove off. if you use common fleece glove, it's warm but bulky and you can not use your camera or cell phone.

Great Liners - Warm and Light
These are great glove liners. They are warm and light, and offer excellent dexterity. I use them alone when photographing in chilly conditions. I combine them with fingerless mittens in cold weather, and with Outdoor Research Gore Tex mittens - with chemical heaters - when it's REALLY cold.
I am very pleased with these liiners.

Running liner
These are excellent gloves for training running, when temps drop down to ~35F. They are thin, yet provide excellent amount of insulation when you are doing active sports. I've also used them under snowboard gloves, and they provide good amount of warmth while being comfortable due to their non-bulky-ness. I have a small hole developed under my left palm, and Ibex has provided a replacement without charge. So definitely, you need to be a bit careful with them. But the holes don't affect function and they haven't gotten bigger yet. Overall, highly recommended if you expect your gear to get reasonable amount of wear and tear on them.

Perfect Liner for Winter Sports
I wore these on a recent snowboarding trip to Heavenly in Tahoe, CA. The first day temps were between 25 and 40 degrees, the second day high of 20, and the third day was nearly 60. So we got a little bit of everything for weather. The first day they were all I needed with an outershell for water protection. The second day I did need fleece gloves between the liners and shell and the third day I was down to just the outershell. Overall these liners were great - exactly what I wanted and expected. They kept my hands dry and warm for snowboarding. Since I am from SC I expected cold hands on the very cold day.

Would Not Recommend
These gloves are extremely thin. They provide poor insulation by themselves. Save your money and try something else. I bought gloves that were five dollars while on a trip that did much better. If you want great looking gloves, then these Ibex will suit you. Since they are so thin, you can handle DSLR equipment with ease. My hands are especially sensitive during cold weather so my review is based off of cold hands these gloves failed to keep warm ;) I would not buy these again because they do not provide much protection from the cold. Most thin gloves will be a suitable option. I wish you luck in finding a nice pair of gloves :)

These liners are awesome. They are warm, fit very well and are very comfortable under mittens. Although I have not had them long enough yet to determine durability, they seem to be very well made and should last a long time.
April 6, 2011
Great purchase
This gloves are thin and fit easily into my other gloves. They are stetched well, comfortable and thin. They are too light to be worn as gloves alone, but they will be great for running in cool weather. Although a little pricey, I'm happy with the purchase.

Great gloves
I bought these gloves to use as an additional liner for some expiedition mittens. They are very warm and great fitting. I normally take a size large, but sized them down to a small for an extra tight fit, they stretch nicely and evenly so fit well in the shells without wanting to come off when removing the shell for greater dexterity.

Nice Glove
I find these gloves comfortable, fit nice. f you are boarderline on size buy one size down as they have nice stretch. I like wearing them alone or will use for extra warmth underneath others. They are thin, nicely made Great Buy!
March 6, 2011
I used this Ibex Glove Liner under my usual bicycle gloves.
The Liner is so thin and warm, very useful while go downgrade or a windy day, or use it in late Autumn or early in winter.
The quality is great, too.

Rock solid
This is a rock solid pair of gloves. Good quality, well-made, nice fit (I have small hands and gloves usually are too long in the fingertips for me, but these are great).
Like the other reviewers have said, they are great for layering. I like to wear them alone sometimes, too. I have Raynaud's, and live in Portland, Oregon. It doesn't get too cold here, but my hands are ALWAYS cold. These are good to wear alone on those days during which most people wouldn't consider wearing gloves, but I need a little extra warmth. Sometimes I even wear them when I'm typing emails and working in my home office. It's pretty dorky to wear gloves while on the computer, but these are sleek enough that I don't feel like a total loser. And whatever, my fingers are warm so that makes me happy!
:)

Good purchase
I bought the mediums and the fit was just right. They were fitted and close but not too tight. Sort of like a soft second skin. The gloves are very comfortable and extremely thin, which is what I'm looking for in inserts where I just want an extra layer to wick away moisture. They did a fine job keeping my hands dry and even resisted reasonably to 0 degree windchills for the few minutes I had to remove my gloves to fiddle with a zipper, or readjust my ski boots. Small note about looks, I got the grey ones and the logo looks almost a little purple. This ends up making them look quite feminine if you care about such things. Since I only wear them as a layer under gloves or mitts, it doesn't bother me.

great glove liner
Fit was perfect. Very pleased with quality of the liner. yes it was more expensive than i would have preferred, but quality was worth the extra. will be buying a second pair soon.
February 16, 2011
very useful gloves
I take my dog out very early on very cold mornings. It is extremely helpful and comforting to have a pair of warm liners for my gloves on the various occasions I have to take my gloves off. These ibex are the most comfortable and form-fitting liners I've ever used. They make it easy to tie boots, unwrap tangled leashes, etc. I have very small hands, but these fit, and stretch for comfort. Purchased on sale and no postage...what a bargain.
February 2, 2011
None Better
I've used Icebreaker and Smartwool merino liners and neither of them are as nice or as durable as the Ibex liners.
Ibex's wool is extremely soft. The stretch in these liners make them mold so well to your fingers you forget you have them on.
I wear a medium in every other glove, and the Ibex liners in medium fit me perfectly.
I use them as light gloves for winter trail running and as liners for skiing and ice climbing. I would guess they add about 10 degrees to whatever you are wearing.

most comfortable gloves ever!
I have been shopping for a pair of casual black gloves. These gloves were so comfortable and not bulky. I went to San Antonio and as I left the restaurant I noticed I couldn't find my gloves. My boyfriend ran back to the restaurant b/c I had left them on the table! That's how much I LOVE these gloves! They are thin enough for me just to do about anything.
January 24, 2011
Versatile and Warm
These glove liners held their own during my 4 week trip tromping through wintery Europe. They are great on their own on the days not so bitter cold, and are the perfect thickness to wear under a winter/ski glove on the days it is and you need a little extra warmth.
They stretched and conformed to my hand perfectly. I have smaller hands, so from the tip of my center finger to the bottom of my palm measures about 6.5 inches and I purchased the XS gloves. They fit great!
I have washed them several times and they had a rough go of it, yet they have maintained their shape and have no signs of pilling. This merino wool tops the charts!
January 22, 2011
nice gloves - sized down - I usually a large but got M's this time w/o any issues. Wool is nice and finish is nice on these
January 17, 2011
Excellent gloves
I got a pair of these for myself (small; 5'8" 145lb, fairly skinny hands and fingers) and my mom (xs; small frame, probably ~ 5'2" - 5'4"). I've worn them both by themselves and under a pair of Seirus gloves, which they fit surprisingly well under, considering how tight these types of gloves fit. Wearing them while shoveling snow my hands still got cold, but considering how thin both these gloves are and how cold it was out it was an acceptable amount of coldness. Also, considering when I went to take them off it was difficult due to my hands being sweaty, I was shown, not for the first time, how nice wool is for being warm even when wet.
My mom asked for mittens for Christmas, because her hands get cold in regular ski gloves. I got her these and the Shak liners to wear inside regular gloves instead, and she wore these while playing with my niece and brothers in the snow, handling the snow with just these on, and she said her hands never got cold. Awesome gloves, whether on their own or in combination with a heavier pair.
Based on the guidelines for fitting, I was right on the border between small and medium, so I got these in small and the Shak liners in medium. They both fit great on their own, and the Shak's fit nicely over these. I haven't yet tried both under another, heavier glove, but I imagine it would work fine, as even with both on my fingers are still very free and mobile and there's not a lot of bulk.
Only complaint, and a mild one, is that they are, as I mentioned earlier, difficult to get off when wet. Pull-tabs (not sure what they're called) at the ends of a couple of the fingers would really help with this, but might also detract from the comfort, and on gloves this thin/light might not hold up.

excellent glove liners
Very comfortable, and warm enough to use alone as gloves -- as long as the weather isn't too cold. They also function well as glove liners! I highly recommend them.

glove liner
great wool liner for your waterproof glove shell or insulating glove.
i like how the glove comes way past your wrist area for extra protection/warmth.
nice fit for a medium and the stitching from the inside is not annoying like others.

Got to love them Kiwi's
Liners work great. I spend alot of time in the outdoors durring the winter. Winter is my favorite time of year. These gloves fit very well and I like them because they fit nicely into my warmer gloves but as the day goes and I start to warm up they also work very well alone.
December 30, 2010
Good underglove
Bought to wear under motorcycle gauntlet in freezing temps. Thin enough to allow reasonable flexibility and feel while adding some warmth. Good fit, slight discomfort from seams at fingertips, but not too bad. Worked better for me than polartec (too thick) or polypropylene (not warm enough).
December 19, 2010
Great Fit!
These are not like my other glove liners which always seem to have a sloppy fit. The material isn't tight, but it stays right in place for great dexterity when used as your outer layer and they also stay in place inside your mittens. They dry quickly after touching snow and ice. I have Raynaud's and have found these to work much better than any other lightweight glove or liner. My fingers still lose circulation on runs longer than an hour in anything below 35'F. (At that point, I should probably be wearing something a bit more substantial, but I was testing the limits since these seemed to be working so great!)

Glove Liner
I've used these for more than one cold Chicago winter. They fit well and do provide some additional warmth although I wouldn't say it's a tremendous improvement. Any extra layering helps especially for hands and feet during icy cold weather. I always use these under other gloves, by themselves doesn't give much protection against cold.
December 5, 2010
Great gloves
These glove liners are warm enough to wear as gloves in milder weather and fit snugly under mittens in bitter cold. It is hard for me to find a fit with my small hands and these have an extra small size, that fits me, if you pardon the expression, like a glove. They are also quite lovely; I wear them to go to work and church, not just hiking.
December 3, 2010
stretch marino gloves
Excellent quality... and they will fit inside the Shak Glove Liner (of the same size) which fit into my lobster glove. So I've solved the problem of numb fingers...
November 30, 2010
Like 'em
Feel great, seams are out of the way. Fit well under my The North Face Windstoppers. They are a thin material, so don't go using them as leather work gloves and you'll be fine. I haven't had them too long, nor has it gotten too cold yet, but so far so good.
November 15, 2010
great fitting glove!
i loved these gloves! as winter is approaching and mornings are cooler, they provide nice warmth. i have small hands and it is a constant battle keeping them warm. gloves are well made and very form fitting. the wool is nice, not itchy. they fit nicely inside another mitten or glove.
November 9, 2010
Great product
Bought this product to use as a glove liner (for which it works great) but quickly realized it works nicely as a light glove in cool weather. Great for travel. Good fit, clean look and Merino wool keeps its warmth even when wet.
September 8, 2010
High quality
These are a great pair of gloves, well-constructed with a high quality fabric. I ordered XS for a size 7 hand and the fingers were too short so unfortunately I had to return them.
May 6, 2010
Nice gloves
I wear these glove liners by themselves. They fit "like a glove," with nice stretch and plenty of length in the fingers. With an average size hand for a smaller woman, I chose a small, it fits great. I love them so much, I bought a second pair. Definitely recommend!
March 30, 2010
Good fit, great fabric, annoying seams.
The fabric is beautiful, comfortable and warm. Fitting is accurate using standard unisex glove sizing. I found the fingers a little on the long side, and I don't usually have issues with that. The only downside is the seams: there are a lot of them and they are large and annoying. Does add a nice bit of warmth for the thickness and I love merino wool.
February 22, 2010
very nice quality but too small
After reading comments here I ordered this in a small but the fingers weren't long enough. Have to return for a medium. But, the material is very nice and the gloves are thin and snug. They will be great on their own or as a liner.
February 20, 2010
Great fit
I always have problems finding the right size for my hands....and the XS has the perfect fit. The wool is awesome and I can work with my hands perfectly! Excellent choice.
January 18, 2010
Great liner
Took it out skiing yesterday, what a differnce in the warmth that it added. Great buy. Bought a xs for a sixe 8 hand
December 31, 2009
Look well made, but too small
I went with a previous post for sizing, as no where, not even on the Ibex website was there an adequate sizing chart for them. I suspected the xs would not fit,and gone with my gut rather than others.
December 29, 2009
Snug Warm Liner!
I bought a size small. The fingers are a little short, but the stretch. I've already put them to great use working in the unheated greenhouse. They are not too bulky to wear under my leather work gloves and they keep you toasty warm.
December 28, 2009
very thin and warm
love stretchiness and wool. they run large. I am a woman with size 8 hands and I got the XS
November 19, 2009
Love Ibex!
I am a huge fan of Ibex wool, I have many underlayers from them and I have never been disappointed with their products. These gloves run in men's sizes so I am 19 small build and got extra small and they fit perfectly!!
November 10, 2009
Great online experience
Ordering was easy. Received the gloves quickly and the glove fit as expected. Great place to order online.
