The problem I have with the liners is it would require me to carry a 
second set of gloves as well. I buy gloves that fit my hands pretty 
closely so that I don't have worries about snagging and twisting the 
fingers. It also keeps the armour in the correct places. So that 
tends to leave very little extra room in the gloves for a heated liner.
I can get only the thinnest of glove liners in my gloves and they 
just seem to affect my tactile feedback. That was why I went with 
heated grips.

I guess if push came to shove and I had to keep my hands warm another 
way, I would look at heated gloves instead of liners and larger 
thicker gloves.
