FAQ

Are these good for ski tow ropes?

Yes. They're designed specifically for abrasion from rope tows with double‑thick pigskin and Kevlar stitching.

Do they work for snowboarding too?

Absolutely. Whether you're on skis or a board, the leather and construction resist shredding far better than typical winter mittens.

Is the leather double thick?

The palm side is double‑thick reinforced pigskin for rope‑tow wear. The back of hand is a single layer for flex and comfort. All high‑wear seams use Kevlar stitching.

Where are you based?

Detroit, Michigan.
