Ah, okay. This makes me feel better. When I got to work this morning (7 miles on city streets, ~20 minutes), I felt the clutch cover with my gloves on (thin, summer weight leather). I started feeling warm after about five seconds, and after about ten, I had to take my hand away. So I guess that's not too bad, eh?
