** RAIN-OFF OVERGLOVES **

RS Taichi Heat Generator Gove Liners




RS TAICHI HEAT GENERATOR GLOVE LINERS
Glove liners are an easy way to improve the cold-weather capability of your existing gloves. Many liners are made from silk, but RS Taichi’s glove liners are made from a blend of polyester, polyurethane, and polyacrylate—that last ingredient absorbs and stores moisture to help keep your hands from getting clammy. These super-stretchy, one-size-fits-all gloves are only $15. RS Taichi also offers socks, leggings, and undershirts made of the same “heat generator” material.
