Got some 2-layer Gore-Tex. What to line it with?

If it's going to touch your skin, silk all the way, dharmatrading.com has good prices and decent quality. otherwise 1.1nylon is cheap and does the job, the weight difference from m90 won't really be worth it in my opinion, unless you get a yard+ for other projects later on. Something I have done is go to valuevillage or goodwill, find a XXL long underwear Dri-sport, cut it up and use on everything as a liner in hotspots. a good 2$ investment.

If you look at 3 the inner layer of 3 layer WPB fabrics they tend to use what looks like mosquito netting so why not do the same.

Dri-climb is a treated brushed tricot. A polyester brushed tricot (track suit material) would work if you like that feel.

For overmits and gaiters I want fast drying material. I think a breathable nylon like the 1.1 would be good.

I have 1.1 breathable nylon gaiters

After 50 or 100 trips they rip and have to be replaced, but mostly I stay on trails so don't abuse them too much. 1.1 is probably too light weight and fragile for some people.

Since the fabric is verticle, water tends to run down the fabric rather than going into my socks and shoes. And the merino socks are hydro-phobic (?) and tend not to absorb water allowing it to just run down the nylon fabric.

Thanks all for the input! The thrifting idea is a great one—in fact, I found that I have an old Adidas soccer shirt that doesn't fit me anymore and uses a double layer of DriClime-like material on the back. That should be more than enough to line the mitts.

I'm going to go with the No-See-Um netting on the Gaiters. It'll be more durable and hold less water, and they won't ever be worn directly against my skin so the feel doesn't really matter.

FWIW, Jerry, I already have a pair of non-waterproof trail gaiters. These ones are going to be knee-highs for snow use. Thus the Gore-Tex.

Where'd you get your gore-tex?
