For winter riding, I just ride using the most waterproof, high visibility ski gloves I can find.

For summer riding, I'm generally gloveless.

I ride drop bars, and have found flat top aero bars nice for riding (too much time on the tops), as well as the new ergo brake levers. Fizik is supposed to have 3mm thick bar tape, although haven't tried it yet. And, it looks like there is a 3.2mm LizardSkin tape.
