Summary: Insulation Capabilities Are Great, Avoid White
Comment: As a year-round cyclist in Chicago, I am always seeking to improve my cold weather capabilities. Finding the right gear for my morning commute is particularly important as I don't have time to return home and change clothes. Keeping hands warm is a often the most difficult part because there is a tradeoff between insulation and dexterity. Ski gloves are generally too bulky for cycling. My Trek cycling gloves, which are somewhat oversized and very flexible, are useful down to around 35 to 40 degrees. So I purchased the Terramar Thermasilk liners to provide additional insulation without inhibiting the needed flexibility. What I have found is that they do provide a significant insulative benefit while still allowing the gloves to be flexible. So far, I have been able to ride a two mile commute in the morning at temperatures down to 28 degrees without any problems.
Apart from providing additional insulation, the liners can be briefly used alone when additional dexterity is required and when bear skin, even for a short time, would be uncomfortable. So, when I am unlocking my bicycle, I wear just the Thermasilk liners. However, these liners get very dirty, very quickly. So, avoid white if you can. Another annoyance is that they snag on common materials such as Velcro and begin to pill (i.e. form fuzz balls) very quickly. Taking the pros and cons of these liners, my verdict is they, in combination with by Trek cycling gloves, are the best solution I have found for cold weather cycling.
Pros
Provide additional insulation
Don't inhibit dexterity when being used with gloves
Allow excellent, temporary dexterity when being used alone
Cons
Gets dirty fast
Snag on common materials like Velcro
Pilling
One extra garment to carry

Summary: great gloves for medium weather
Comment: These are sold as liners to wear inside your ski gloves, and I'm sure that's a good use too, but here is Los Angeles, it doesn't get quite that cold. So these are absolutely perfect for chilly days, and best of all, they are thin, so you can still work with your fingers. As they used to say in the Playtex rubber glove ads, "I can pick up up a dime (with these on)!" I wear them in the grocery store when it's freezing in there, and at work when they crank the AC so high my fingers won't type. They are perfect for that kind of thing. So all you non-skiers, get some today!

Lightweight knit construction creates air pockets inside and out. This knit process creates a series of hills and valleys that not only reduces skin contact to speed moisture transfer but increases air entrapment on the skin side while the outside pockets away from the skin speed vapor transmission.
