I have a condition known as Raynaud’s Syndrom. My fingers go numb cool weather and in cold weather, I can't feel the warmth from standard electric gloves. I did find a glove that does work for me, Dragon Heat. They are battery operated. Batteries are good for about 90 minutes when heat is on highest setting.
OP lives in Oklahoma so I suspect it does get kind of cold? Using heated gear is the only way to go and for the minimal bulk that it adds, being able to comfortably ride year round makes owning a bike seriously worthwhile. JMO

It very seldom gets really cold for any length of time at all. My CW gear has served me better on trips out of state. NW MO and central IL are a couple of my regular runs and they take their winters fairly serious compared to here.
Dead animals.
Vest is Buffalo with the fur still on (inside the leather jacket), gauntlet mittens made from beaver, and a fur hat made from coyote, fox, and raccoon. Insulated jeans
Good to about 25 degrees, and no batteries. Beyond that, I go back in the house.
And wait for the PETA folks to show up?
Seriously, lots of good materials work when layered properly. Just a bitch when U stop to take a leak...
You said you are mainly looking for gloves. A buddy of mine who is a veteran of seven Iditarod sled dog races, gave me a pair of his old Mush mittens. They aren’t gloves, they are big bulky mittens and take a little getting use to on a bike. That said, if warmth is what’s important to you, they have kept my hands warm down to 12 degrees Fahrenheit.
The brand is @Northern Outfitters, made in the USA and the phone number on the tag is 800-344-9276.
