I would just invest in some leather glove protectors, they will keep you from tearing your gloves apart, and give you grip. Tow ropes are relentless mother fuckers, I go one day on a toe rope at a local park, and my gloves are torn to threads. Also, I wouldn't go for grippy gloves. The grip on the gloves easily freezes, Especially when it is in contact with a pole grip. Or when they get wet.
