The issue then becomes sweat from the inside soaking the liner and then getting cold. My crosspoints are great when it is 35-45 degrees because then my hands don’t sweat much, or the sweat is mitigated with a liner. If it is warmer, I need to use a thinner outer glove because the sweat will just soak everything.
