Alternate drop bar mitt installation?

I was in "the city" last week, Somervile, MA to be more precise, & I got to see some urban bike commuters. Since it was still chilly there were several drop bar mitts around. What caught my eye tho, was a guy who had his installed in a novel way. He sped by so I couldn't closely examine his install. Others flew by but they all looked set up like mine normally look. The mitts were installed in such a way as to fully expose the lower portion of the drop bar. He was still protected on the hoods. Maybe he just scrunched them up more?

how I use mine


but his exposed the lower portion. I don't remember if I saw the brake lever or not but I did see a large portion of the lower bar including the curved part. It almost looked like a different product altogether





is anyone using there's in that manner? if so, wutz the trick?
