Oxford Hotgrips aren't really any bigger than standard...

HG Pathans (2 finger ones) are very good. I'm sure there's better out there now, it's a pretty old design, but they're reasonably priced, not too bulky, and warm.

In winter, I wrap my levers in self-amalgamating electric tape... Don't know whether it's psychological or real but it does seem to make a difference, those levers get cold after all.

I didn't think it was too bad today, i got my winter gloves out (Alpinestars Jet Road) to wear, but ended up wearing my summer gloves (Alpinestars Tech Road) anyway because it was so mild, out for about 2 hours hands where fine.

THe Jet Road is a cracking winter glove though if a little pricey.
