Brake lever insulation for the gloveless among us

I think they make cute little blankets for your package
I actually find 5:10s and gloves horrible for exactly that reason.
if it's really cold. I just carry gloves to put on for the climbs so my hands don't get too cold on way to the next descent. Because they're working on a descent that keeps the blood pumping. The same strategy won't work for road or dull descents though.
Can't think of anything worse than a brake lever blade cover. and those Magura levers feel like they were designed for a LEGO bike
So artisanal gloves?
People with long travel suspension forks and large pneumatic tires complaining that a thin layer of fabric ruins "feel".
It's like complaining about a condom while fucking a bucket of lidocaine.

Except some "people" here also ride bikes with no suspension and narrow very high pressure tyres.
I also dislike condoms and anesthetic. I don't actually complain though. Just politely decline the offer
Artisanaly curated vegan fair trade gloves
Why has no one mentioned electrical or gorilla tape yet?
We're gonna need an exploded diagram.
1. Slather brake levers with Icy Hot
2. ???
3. Profit
Failing that, you can use use a weed lighter to intermittently warm up your levers.

Tried that. Hands still got cold.
Move to Socal?
Gloves get wet from just riding. If the air temp is at all cool and you have Reynauds (which it sounds like you do) then you are screwed. Wind block gloves help. Bring a set of extra gloves to whip out mid ride. I’m always about the foot chem heaters. They are thin so you can hold them to the handlebar. If you don’t want cold fingers, then that’s how you can avoid.
Because it requires a Mexican child which is more cumbersome than wearing gloves
Because it doesn’t insulate for shit.
The solution is obvious - if you don't have brakes, you don't have brake levers to get cold.
I was going to make a joke about that, but it sounded really creepy.

Could you hollow out a vampire teabag and slide that on?
I have long wished for this.
