# REI Co-op Merino Wool Liner Gloves 2.0

**Verdict:** iRunFar's budget pick: a thin merino-blend liner with a long wrist cuff that works on its own for mild runs or under a shell mitt when it's colder. Touchscreen response and grip are only so-so.

- **Best for:** Shoulder-season runs and layering under an overmitt for runners on a tight budget.
- **Not for:** Runners who depend on a responsive touchscreen or want a grippy palm for holding a phone or bottle.
- **Downsides:** Touchscreen response reported as unreliable; No silicone palm grip; REI notes it fits slightly large
