I have used heated gear for the cold months of riding and this particular brand for many years. It works well and has been reliable. They apparently make "First Gear" heated gear sold at many Honda Dealers.

I also have warm and safe heated gloves but am not impressed with them, it is good leather and they do keep your hands warm, but my thumbs do not get as warm as I would like them too.
Had a pair fail but they were out of warranty so ordered another pair. The owner told me that my left glove failed because it gets used a lot with the clutch.
The warm and safe gloves only have heating elements on the back of the glove. I have heated grips also so the combination of the two works pretty well.
next time I am getting Gerbing gloves have heating elements on both sides and have a better warranty.

Your first consideration might be to add National cycle hand guards, or some other brand. It removes all wind from your gloves making heated grips far more useable. With this combo, I wear lighter gloves down to low 40's and medium gloves down to about 38F. Below that, you need heated gloves. Heated gloves, I have gerbings, are good down into the low 20's, paired with a heated liner and dual variable controls.
i chose National cycle hands guards for these reasons. 1) They are smoked and practically invisible on my bike. 2) Cost effective and easy to mount. I originally thought I'd remove them in the summer, but they protect your hands from stones, bugs, rain when moving, so I never took them off. I love wearing the lightest gloves available and these have done the trick for me. 3) I already mentioned it, when moving, it keeps rain off your hands.
I never have had my heated grips above 3, 2 most of the time and as I said, I can ride all day in lighter gloves down to about 38F.
If you are turned off by all the styles of hand guards, then visit a snowmobile store.
