I have bullhorns, which may make the "sliding toward the ends" worse whereas you have a riser. Do they maybe get slipperier with age or something? I remember them being almost tacky when i put them on at first.

Totally fine in cool weather, however. Also i'm a sweaty fat bastard, so...
Solution: wear gloves and stop worrying about what it looks like. I feel strange if I am not wearing gloves on my bike, like being in a car without a seatbelt on or not having my phone with me or something.
