There’s biothane reins with or without the rubber grips. They
don’t give rope burns. The Beta reins, in my opinion, don’t slip through my
hands when wet, either. Neither are round like the rope reins, but I find they
work just fine.

In response to everyone who said gloves, yes, I realize that
you can wear gloves and they will protect you from rope burn =P
lol. but... I was just hoping to see if there were any alternative
solution, as I prefer not wearing gloves, that's all. I will, if I have
to (I even wore my cotton non-riding gloves at Foxcatcher, since my fingers
were still hurting (and that's all I have at the moment); it was hot, but my
fingers weren't bothered at the ride, so it was worth it). I've heard
that the rubber covered reins are better. If that's true, then they
should make round rubber reins =P lol. That's kind of the idea I
was going towards, lol. I suppose if I get flat reins, I'll get used to
them, just as I did the round reins...
