The Specialized Thermal Liner Gloves featured here at Escapa are thermal liner gloves designed to provide extra insulation during long, cold rides. Their slim construction allows you to wear them under Specialized Deflect or Element outer gloves without adding excessive bulk or significantly reducing sensitivity on the handlebars.

They can also be worn on their own during cool spring and fall days. The reinforced palm improves durability when worn without a second layer, making them a versatile accessory for road, Gravel, MTB, and urban commuting.

Thermal Protection with Minimal Bulk

The lightweight, stretchy fabric helps trap heat around your hands without the bulk of conventional winter gloves. This construction makes them ideal as a base layer and allows for good finger mobility.

Their slim profile helps preserve the tactile sensitivity needed to:

• Operating the brake levers.
• Shifting gears.
• Operating the controls on an e-bike.
• Operating the buttons on a bike computer.
• Maintain a precise grip on the handlebars.

Designed to be worn under other gloves

Therminal Liners can be paired with Specialized Deflect or Element gloves to increase thermal protection in cold conditions. Worn as a base layer, they help retain body heat and allow you to adapt your gear to different temperatures.

For a comfortable fit, the outer glove should have enough room. A combination that’s too tight can compress the fingers, reduce blood circulation, and decrease the thermal performance of the entire setup.

Suitable for use on their own

On cool days in between seasons, these gloves can be worn on their own. The reinforced palm increases their durability when in direct contact with handlebar grips, the handlebar tape, and shift levers.

Using them separately is especially practical for:

• Mild spring and fall rides.
• Early morning rides.
• Urban commuting.
• Cool descents.
• Routes with fluctuating temperatures.
• Moderate-intensity outdoor activities.

Lightweight, stretchy fabric

The gloves are made from a knit fabric composed of 91% polyester and 9% spandex. The polyester provides lightness, durability, and quick-drying properties, while the spandex improves the fit and allows for greater freedom of movement.

This combination creates a snug fit that makes it easy to add a second layer without creating wrinkles or excess fabric around the fingers.

Reinforced palm

The palm features a reinforced construction to improve durability when the gloves are worn directly on the handlebars. This feature increases their versatility compared to inner gloves designed exclusively for use under another garment.

The reinforcement does not replace the specific padding found in Body Geometry gloves, so these gloves prioritize lightweight insulation and tactile feedback over cushioning.

Easy to Carry

Their thin fabric allows them to be easily folded and stored in a jersey pocket, a frame bag, or a backpack. This feature is useful on rides with significant temperature fluctuations, where they can be put on or taken off during a stop.
