Baller bhs Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 For some reason my hands are killing me this year. Would like to know if anyone has had succes with glove liners and what kind. I have used the overtons palm pads in the past. They worked pretty well. What else is out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TWB Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 I started wearing the Straightline palm pads a few years ago. They made a huge difference, especially when I was using the Masterline K-palm gloves, my hands would get torn-up. I don't ski without them now. I ordered four pair for this year and I'm about ready to start using the second pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skibug Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 Thin kevlar glove liners from Grainger, etc. with straighline palm savers over them. I haven't had a blister issues since last July (and I have many consecutive days in a row of 2, 3, or 4 sets per day) when I went to this combination. I have used each level of protection individually with some success; but, together they are great (for me). I also use Masterline Pro Lock gloves.

Baller Razorskier1 Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 I started using the kevlar glove liners a few years ago at the advice of @MS. I also started holding the handle further out in my fingers. No problems since. Liner types are different. I ordered a box of liners for less than $2/pair online and they are fine, but they are a little stretchy and not as tight as the ones from Straightline or Masterline. Problem is, if you buy them from those guys you pay $20/pair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footloose42 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I switched to Radar Pro-Locks a year or so ago and haven't had a problem with blisters since. Forearm fatigue has gone down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller jcamp Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 The old underwear glove liners have always worked great for me. No blisters even after long layoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted June 28, 2012 Supporting Member Share Posted June 28, 2012 I'm a fan of Underware Ultra, sold by PC Racing. These literally cost about 10x some cheap glove liners, and probably "only" last about twice as long. But I'm the sort who hates to change anything at midseason, so the fact that these last a full season for me is worth it. I started using Underware about 15 years ago, and haven't had any hand problems since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PT Mike Posted June 28, 2012 Members Share Posted June 28, 2012 What @skibug said. The kevlar glove liners are super cheap on all the industrial sites, Grainger,MSC, McMasterCarr etc. Since I started with the kevlar liners I haven't had an issue since.

Baller ski4xtc Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 If anyone is looking for some good Dupont Kevlar Liners, I have 30 new pairs that I cannot use. They were sent as size small but I would say they are a men's medium. They have the red banded wrist but they are not the large ones with red band. I will sell them in lots of 10 for $33.00 total including USPS shipping. Send me a message if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted June 28, 2012 Supporting Member Share Posted June 28, 2012 @ski4xtc Do you mean they are actually the same size as the green-banded ones normally are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ski4xtc Posted June 28, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 28, 2012 @Than, I am not sure. They are one size up from the blue wrist banded small's. These were just a little to small for my ski partner who normally wears a size large in gloves and liners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller skimtb Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 So do you go up a glove size when wearing the liners? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Cnewbert Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 My last order from Grainger was $7.15 / pair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 A lot of safety equipment stores stock them as well. I ran into an overstock situation at a local store a few years back and bought 3 dozen yellow kevlar for something like $3 per pair. I stopped wearing when I had to go Clincher style gloves but my future son in law has just about gone through the pile at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BugHunter Posted July 21, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 21, 2020 Kevlar liners. Ordered from Perfski.com. More than $3, but they last a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dbutcher Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 I wear two pair of cotton liners under Tail 41 gloves. Last time I bought them, I bought a pack of a dozen or more, and they were less than fifty cents a pair at Tractor Supply. I did go up a size on the actual ski gloves though. I have big hands so the three layers are still completely comfortable and effective for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller markn Posted July 22, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 22, 2020 Just out of curiousity, @bhs did you change handles or manufacturers? Have noticed both Masterline and In-Tow rubber is slightly softer and is not so hard on the hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bhs Posted July 27, 2020 Author Baller Share Posted July 27, 2020 Yes I switched to a larger diameter Masterline handle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Fast351 Posted July 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2020 So do the liners prevent blisters or callouses or both? I've done 65 sets in the last 3 months or so, and I have pretty hard callouses on both hands. Doesn't really bother me since there's no blisters, but I wouldn't mind not getting them either.

Baller dbutcher Posted July 27, 2020 Baller Share Posted July 27, 2020 @Fast351 I don't ski quite as much as you - wish I could- but no blisters and no callouses for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
