I'm not a fan of heated gloves for a couple of reasons.
The first one is that I never found a heated glove that had enough 
insulation, heat source and water proofing to work without being an 
enormous blob of material that still robbed me of tactile touch.
Two the one set that I did buy lasted about three long rides and did 
not provide nearly as much heat to my hands as the grips I have now do.


For the people that say that they cannot keep the backs of their 
hands warm with heated grips, Check out www.revitusa.com/ they have 
winter gloves with a new inner layer of material that "phase shifts" 
and spreads heat from the palms of the gloves around to the backs, up 
to the wrists and even between the fingers.

The store I work in is considering bringing Rev-It in as a high line 
brand, and if they do I'm considering getting a pair of these new 
gloves for winter.
If the heat transport system works half as well as they say it does, 
the days of cold knuckles are over.
