(Maybe I've got warm hands.  I'm wearing summer gloves and heated grips now, but I don't think I can take many more days of it if it stays this cold)

Blimey - you must have warm hands. I am riding with thick winter gloves and heated grips and the ends of my fingers are still bl**dy cold!

Warm hands....cold heart.  Mwahahahahahaha!

On a related note, the thing I've been thinking about recently is that if I could cover the brake levers (it's a scooter: both levers are brakes) with a bit of plastic, then I'd keep a lot of cold out.  I'm thinking like the sort of thing that the handles of pliers, etc are often covered in.

I'm convinced that a lot of the cold that gets to your hands comes via the levers.

Has anyone tried this?  Anyone know where I could get stuff like the plastic I'm describing?  (I'm guessing it would need to heat-shrink).  Anyone think it would work?  Anyone think it's a stupid idea (if so, why?)?

Thanks

Is anyone suggesting wearing non-windproof gloves?
