A beer.
I think I may have missed the point of the show some what. I did look for a few things. |

Got a picture? I'm interested in this one, I'm always suffering with cold hands in the autumn and winter. |

Are you sure it wasn't because of the mentioning of carbon fibre?

yep that's the ones, they come in three sizes small was just not enough for me as it left the top of my hand exposed, so I went for the medium.
All I need now is winter temperature to see if it makes a real difference.
The company making them is only a few days old a familly business, they seemed happy with the feedback they had at the expo when I went. |

LOL, you read me like a book. Thanks a lot for finding me the link!! Too much windchill on a recumbent, so I think these will be awesome for the winter. I'll email the company now with a pic of my handlebars. |

The road ones look like they may work for hamsterbars. (Better than they would for roadies I recon, but that is another debate.
How about a drinks bottle slit from top to bottom, the neck could fit round your bars, few zip ties, sprayed matt black for you of course. Enough for a proof of concept. |
