Yep. Heated Gear is great. Bought my Gerbing Jacket liner, heated outer pants and Gloves in 2009. Great investment as its comfortable to ride in the 20's and 30's. We have left for FL more than once with the temperature in the high teens or low 20's.
I have had my pair for a few years now. Kept my hands so warm they would almost sweat. What I don't like is the bulk of the gloves. Makes pulling the levers or throttling cumbersome. Maybe the newer ones are better?

Mine are not bulky at all, when I first put them on I was surprised at how light they were.
If I had all of the money I spent trying to stay warm on a winter ride without buying heated gear..... I could have bought 2-3 sets of heated gear....
As fate would have it.... years AFTER I purchased Gerbings gloves, pants, and jacket liner.... somebody purchased Gerbing, and brought the company back to the USA. They had an "open house" at the (then) Stoneville NC facility.
We stopped by, on our way to elsewhere, and saw they were blowing out the old (made in China) stock
I bought a pair of gloves, a heated jacket, , spare jacket liner, heated sox, and base layer, plus a base layer, and battery powered jacket (with batter for my wife.
All for less than a pair of gloves....
GREATEST day ever...
That's why I have a battery powered pair, didn't want to be wired to the bike. Push a button on the glove 3 times for high, give them 2-3 minutes to warm up, and you're good to go.
Which gloves do you have? I had (well still have) Tourmaster 7v heated gloves, but they were only good in the 40s. Anything lower than that, my hands would get too cold and I'd lose all sensation in my thumbs.
I also got a pair of these for Christmas...They are great on the bike along with heated grips because they heat the back of your hands and not the palms. I also have a pair of Gordons heated deerskin wired gloves that work well for long winter rides along with their heated jacket liner. Nothing better for winter blues than heated gear.
My dear family bought me some heated gloves for Christmas this year. They are not something I would (or have) bought for myself, so it was just something nice on the part of my family.
I have used them on 4 different rides so far with temps between 35F and 42F. They work fantastic! The battery connection with the glove is via USB-C, so fairly universal. They can also run direct from the USB port I added to the bike if I get a long enough cord.
