Winter mitts for butterfly handlebars?

Are there any mitten brands out there made specifically for any butterfly handlebars?

Just to avoid any confusion, here is a picture:

If it's really so cold that no insulated gloves will do the trick, then first, my hat's off to you for your determination and commitment. Secondly, you might look into a pair of those Army cold-weather mittens with the separate trigger finger.

What types of mitts/gloves have you tried out so far?

Dunno what you mean by "specifically for these handlebars"...?

I have tried the "trigger finger" gloves in the past and found that my index fingers still suffered worse than the others.
And the "gloves with mitten covers" don't really work that well either IMO.

I use Pearl Izumi lobster gloves and like them better than other choices.

A good glove to remember in case you're ever on a Star Trek fan forum and someone asks if anyone makes a cold weather mitten specifically for rendering the formal Vulcan greeting during the winter.

I second this ^^... lobster *mitts*. They work on my trekking bars and are good to minus 20 Fahrenheit (for me).
