been riding front brake only for 6 plus years. anecdotal cautionary tales don't beat real world experience. If your buying good components and your bike doesn't live a rusty life locked outside on a railing then failure's not likely. If your building a beater out of second hand scrap it might be an issue but not for that build.

do you even know what real winter is like?
the "winter" in the UK doesn't even come close to the winter in Finland and we don't have issues like sweating palms in - 20c.
I really can't believe that you're talking about neoprene, what ever thicker gloves should be fine. I'm using them.
I'm talking neoprene because I've got a range of gloves and in the right circumstances (cold steady downpour) they do a better job than other options. If its cold and dry or just light rain I use a silk liner and madison tempest winter glove.
There's no point thinking one glove can handle every type of winter weather let alone UK to Finland. Your statement is glib and pointless. They are on the market because they have an application.

Sweating is unavoidable if you're going for a long enough ride in extreme wet and cold weather, whatever type of glove you've got.
They shouldn't be your only winter glove but they do a job.
The benefits are the gloves aren't sodden for hours after a ride in extreme weather and the lining doesn't annoyingly turn inside out when you've not worn inners with them and they're less bulky. Also very good for control in extreme wet weather because the grip is quality.

Neoprene does a great job for cold and wet - these are quality
