Having described my invention, what I now claim is:
1. A glove liner which comprises:
- a breathable fabric;
- a homogeneous membrane bonded to the fabric to form a coated lining fabric, the membrane characterized by an inner tacky surface adhered to the fabric and an outer wear-resistant surface, the membrane being progressively less tacky as the membrane distance from the fabric increases;
- the membrane surfaces joined together along a seam to define the liner, the liner being closed on all sides except one through which a hand may extend into the liner, the fabric comprising the inner surface of the liner, the membrane comprising the outer surface, the periphery of the liner where closed having at least one pattern extension whereby the liner may be secured to an outer shell by joining the pattern extension to the outer shell.
