Bar-mitts are designed to fit over the brake lever AND the shifter.
They are very useful and they block the wind which means the
mitts/gloves one wears don't have to be so thick as they do if you
don't use bar-mitts.

I ride with HotPogs[1] over the winter and they are good down to about
-5 then thin gloves are needed, I suspect because brake levers/bars
become too cold. Wind proof yes, water proof as well. They also keep
the rain off the legs a bit, an unexpected benefit. The big point
though is simply accessing keys/work passes/crossings without the need
to remove gloves.
