For very wet near freezing alpine caves I have had great success with NRS wetsuit style gloves underneath a PVC gauntlet style glove.

Funny ... most people have the opposite problem with the Stop. Of course this depends heavily on the cleanliness, stiffness, and diameter of the rope. But semi-dirty 11mm PMI is hard to feed through a Stop. Going too fast on a bobbin style device is generally correctable with a braking biner or Freino. If you haven't tried the Freino it might change your whole perspective.
