Try the Triumph water proof gloves. They are thin,2 layers of 
GoreTex type material with leather patches where you would hit 
the ground. Since they are windproof and have some insulation I 
find that they allow for reasonable amount of warm air to 
collect in there with the heated grips. I hate wearing gloves 
that are thicker than normal leather or these gloves. 
Heated/winter gloves are now a non-starter. I have tried a fair 
bit before I discovered heated kit, and won't go back!

If it is external, the only thing I really do is just turn your 
head to get more wind accross the screen.
