I was ahead of my time. I never liked fingerless gloves and plumped for full fingered gloves from the get go, even in blazing hot weather I didn't find them uncomfortable.
However, I am a retrogrouch as I still have stubby bar ends, even (gasp!) on my riser bars, which really must make the fashion police gasp. Don't care; they work for me, and are great for another hand position going uphill. Too old now to care about what people think who have been overly influenced by marketing drives and what other people think is cool.
