Gloves for hot laps?

Last season I went through 5 pairs of gloves, the towrope game is strong in Minnesota. Glove guards are annoying, mine fell off on the hill all the time. Even the thickest leather gloves that I had ripped within a month, I need some gloves that won't rip on the rope, it's annoying and it pisses my dad off. Any suggestions?

I also live in MN so i feel your struggle. This but spray em first so they are waterproof. I had a random unbranded pair of choppers without any waterproofing for about 45 days. They only ripped from getting so wet. Kinko should last you atlas a year.

Make sure to get the Kinco axemen. They are the cheapest, are insulated, durable, and are warm as shit.

Those are mittens by the way. If they need to be gloves, then I suggest the Kinco 901's, which are also nice. Sorry for the double post.

I live in MN too, and I just buy a few rolls of hockey tape at the beginning of the year, and act day I go out, I wrap my gloves with it. Works like a charm. Somewhat.

Kinco or any other decent insulated work glove. I use mine all year for all other jobs at home and in the garden as well as a fair bit of tree surgery and work on the cars, never had a wear issue with them and I'm still on the set I got three years ago. The more you beat them up the more waterproof they get,

THESE ARE THE TRUTH,WAY, AND LIGHT FOR ANY MIDWEST TOW ROPE SKIER

These bad boys will last you a whole season if you get size large.... even 100 plus day seasons

Stop being a pussy and grab on to that fucking rope and dont let it slide and even your other glove protectors will last longer

they boys are strong and only around 20$
