The Flylow Rope Tow Glove adds an extra layer of leather across the palm, built specifically for the wear a rope tow cable puts on a standard glove. Ski patrollers, mountain guides, and rope tow riders put that reinforcement to work daily, whether it's a nutcracker slung over a cable at a club field or a bristly tow rope at a Northeast hill. Pigskin leather treated with PFAS-Free DWR adds extra waterproofing on top of the protection. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've run the rope tow at my hill all season in these, and the reinforced palm hasn't worn through where my old gloves always failed first. My hands stay protected gripping cable after cable."
