What seemed to work to me was a nice pair of glove protectors(they will rip eventually) you can get 15 for bucks at your local ski shop or at Joes they have these nice leather mitns for like 10 bucks not so warm but fine on towropes.

tow ropes are so efficeint, but one day with 'em my $70 gloves were shot, mittons usually don't tear as much, less seams

Those are my grenade eddie walls, the palms are so grippy, 1 handed rope grabs ftw. The only thing is now some of the vinyl has come off the palms, so now its just the leather, but they are still warm, semi dry, and supper grippy.

^^How warm are those red stripers? I had some nice POW stealths that I had gotten for christmas and i took them to sunburst a week after and the tow rope ripped them to shreds, now they are no more...

They are surprisingly warm, they are the only pair of gloves I have worn all season.

the best combination, i've found, is a pair of leather choppers (leather mittens with insulation and finger spaces, you can get them at menards) over a thin pair of gloves, you cant even really call them gloves, they are just really thin fabric, mostly made for little kids, they have lots of different designs on them. although they dont look that cool, it takes quite a long time to rip them and your hands stay very warm. and its easy to take your hands out and put them back in without them getting cold cuz you have the little gloves on.
