Dogwood designs. (I harassed moosemitts, but them seem to have changed their delivery policy.) Not in any way cheap. But they do look solid, and most of all, well designed.
They just fit over the extensions of the cut-H bars, and I can reach my thumbie shifter. Which I replaced with a hinged version so I could run it on the cross part of the H (wanted it out of the way of the main part of the bars). Wont be able to use the internal loop for the end of the bars because of the big sweep. But my initial feeling is that they'll be stable enough.
It may look like I've over thought this. But I dodged a bullet last winter re frostbite, and I dont mind admitting it scared me. This should help give me the confidense to climb on the saddle in the winter.
