A glove liner which can be used in harsh environments to protect the user's hand from cuts and burns is disclosed. In so doing, the liners are made in two layers, with each layer performing a particular function. The inner layer is made from heat resistant material which will protect the user's hand from being burned in harsh environments. The outer layer is made from material which is cut resistant thereby preventing the user's hand from being cut or punctured and also preventing the heat resistant layer from being damaged. The liner is manufactured in such a manner as to provide the firefighter with maximum agility and mobility in his hand. The liner also protects the user in environments where the liner is not fully effective. In extremely harsh environments, it is conceivable that the user's hand may be burned. In such instances, the design of the liner allows the outer glove to be removed from the user's hand without damaging the skin of the user. The liner is maintained intact on the user's hand so that no skin will be removed by the removal of the liner. The liner is configured to allow the hand and the liner to be submersed in a solution until the user is transported to a hospital where proper medical procedures can be employed.
