Just got back from 5 days at Smuggs, and my finger tips are cracked and hurt alot. Seems that the inner liner of my Swany Mittens (inside is a glove) are drying out my fingers, no matter how much lotion i put on em after skiing, the damage is done...anyone use liners?? I figure using a liner will protect them from drying out...any suggestions on liners? I do have a $25 bucks card from EMS

I use powerstretch gloves that I got from EMS for everything, including liners with my mittens when I'm skiing. With keeper chords on my mittens, the combo is great for warmth and I can drop the mitts whenever I need dexterity (taking pics).

check the website for availability in your store, gloves have been going fast since they went on sale a couple weeks ago.

I got the very same gloves at the EMS outlet in Manchester this past Sunday for $15. Haven't had a chance to try them yet, will try this weekend.

I've been using those gloves for several years now, well previous years versions anyway. My only problem with them is that they seem to get holes in the fingers pretty fast. That might be because I use them so much though. They have a permanent home in my shell pocket and I use them everyday it's cold. I like to use them for the drive into work, sure beats the cold steering wheel. ;) I also use them for warmer days at the ski area, whether I'm working or skiing, or on colder days as a liner for my mittens.
