Basic three-finger gloves?

I'm looking for some basic leather 3 finger gloves with a removable wool liner. Besides Hestra, I don't know who makes this type of glove; Hestra's out of the question because my gloves need to be able to take rope tow abuse, and Hestra gloves have their seams on the outside. Great for dexterity, I'm sure, but that sounds like a tear waiting to happen. I certainly don't want to tear $120 gloves.

So anyone know who makes gloves like these? My only requirements are that they are made of high quality, durable leather, have a removable wool liner, and are under $100.

Oakley Factory Winter Trigger Mitts ($50). Full leather mitt with Thinaulate insulation, you will have to provide your own liner, but that cost you $10 for a merino liner glove or $15 for a power stretch liner (my personal preference).

Celtek, but don't go for the cheaper ones. My 80$ pair were 40$ and after 100 days I'm seeing just a little wear and tear. Works great if you aren't trying to spend a lot. The ones I have are made with goat skin leather.

Is goat skin leather durable? Any use with tow ropes?

I'm also considering going to a local leathercrafter for custom gloves...

Only a handful of times on a tow rope with it, but it was plenty durable. Celtek Pro Trigger Fingers.

That's helpful, thanks. I'm going to poll some local leather craftspeople for prices for comparison sake. I essentially want tough Garbage Mitts, but in the 3 finger variety.

It's a tough world for mitts/gloves when you're a flatland skier. Towropes are the norm on tiny hills/terrain parks.
