I actually use handlebar tape on my brake levers and thumb shifters. Just one wrap works wonders.

For flat bar folks, cheap off brand ATV mitts work very well. I have 45NRTH Cobrafists on my fat bike, but right now I'm commuting with my Surly Troll because I have studded tires on it and I don't want to take out a mortgage to purchase the same for the my fat bike. On the Troll I'm using these: Classic Accessories Black ATV Handlebar Mitts-15-067-013802-00 - The Home Depot At $13.74 they're great. My ride in this morning--only 9 miles, but about an hour with all the rough ice on the trails I ride--was minus 6F. I wear light fleece gloves and my fingers were fine.
