Tried bare hands on the way home. Hands were okay after 15-20 minutes, but from the off my fingers were completely numb. I believe this was the fault of the brake levers. I need some narrow neoprene sleeve for the bare metal levers. Or a supplier of carbon lever blades for Hope lever assemblies.

I've long been after something like this. You used to get them on old BMX levers (when I were a lad) but I can't find them anywhere now. Only thing I've been thinking of doing is ghetto taping an old inner tube around a lever for a layer of protection.
EDIT: Someone with far better Google Fu than me has found these. Also found this on MTBR

I use standard defeet gloves in my pogies at - 5C.
Thats only because I take my hands out to do stuff, and uncovered they'd freeze.
Bet bare hands would be fine.
