All you Midwest rats and fellow east coast boys, Drop names of warm mittens that are real durable on towropes. I usually go through more then 2 pairs of mittens a season because of the amount of holes from a rope.
Flylow gloves are like off brand Kinko's and last about a season if you shred erry day; not a bad choice either if you're in a pinch or the mnt only sells one or the other

Fly lows are rebranded kincos for 2x the price... you can buy 2 pairs of kincos on amazon and have them in 2 days for the price of the flylows.
Leather choppers are what you want, depending on how much you ski these should last you a month or two. They’re about $20 so don’t buy any bullshit glove besides these. (Kinco)
TRVP_ANGELIve never used a tow rope before, what's wrong with using regular ski gloves?
Absolute heresy, but they tear the shit out of your gloves.
OP, leather glove covers are an option too if you're about it. They are kind of obnoxious to take on and off but they definitely work. They're like 15 bucks, I think I found em at a bike/ski shop.
Buy work gloves at your local hardware store for 4.99 they last at least a half season and my hands never get cold unless its 0 out and then I just add liners. This works way better then it seems and save you tons of money, also a lot of gloves these days have soft liners anyway.
KretzschmarFacts. I fucking miss Fleet Farm now that I'm in Utah.
I didn't realize Fleet Farm was a Midwestern thing. Oh also unrelated but I was at Pete's Garage in Green Bay the other day and somehow we got on the topic of NS and the kid working there said he was friends with you. Wish I remembered his name. He said he moved to GB to finish school and I think he was from either the East Coast of the WI or Wausau... I forget. Long dark hair, surfer dude vibes, rides at Bohemia a lot, maybe 19-24 years old.

I ski the NZ clubbies and we have high speed rope tows instead of chairlifts to access the whole mountain. Everyone here either has kincos or glove protectors, kincos are warm and water proof and can last for a couple seasons if you're lucky.
