Fluid impermeable gloves of the type used to handle hazardous chemicals are impermeable in both directions which means that sweat accumulates in the gloves. An accumulation of sweat can result in maceration of the hands leading to a reduction or loss of dexterity. A simple solution to the problem is to insert an underglove or liner in the impermeable glove which absorbs the sweat while not impairing the manual dexterity of the user. The liner includes a thin, perforate layer of a hydrophobic polymeric material such as polyethylene, polypropylene, a polyester or polyacrylonitrile, and a thin layer of an absorbent material such as cotton or a superabsorbent material which does not swell appreciably or collapse when wet for absorbing sweat without adversely affecting dexterity.
