Probably just me, but my hands would'nt stay warm with three pair of boxing gloves.
(I also bought a heated jacket liner)

I don't personally wear these kinds of gloves, but these are recommended a lot by the guys up here. I wear a non gauntlet version of this.

here at that time of morning. At most we've been riding in the 40/50's, maybe some upper 30's occasionally at a time that someone would be commuting on a bike. And in a Washington winter that has been abnormally dry. November was warmer.

We have both the Gerbing's battery powered gloves and the T-5 plug-in style which is powered directly from the motorcycle. We also have the heated jacket liner, which is also pluged into the motorcycle.
The battery powered ones are a bit more convenient. However, they do not get nearly as warm as the plug-in style. On "high" setting they will last just over one short hour. On "medium" they will go around three hours but will lose a lot of the heat they produce at the "high" setting.
They work pretty well for short jaunts at the "high" setting, even with temps in the 30's °F. At these same temp, and set to "med", they will allow ones hands to gat a bit chilly but not really cold.
The plug-in style are a different story. The lowest temp I've used them in was around 15-18 °F and they were turned up just a little past half way. The amount of heat produced is incredible and the only time-limit one has is how long ones motorcycle is running. The adjustable temp controller (an optional accessory) is pretty much a must or one risks burning ones fingers from too much heat. The temp controller allows the heat to be turned down as needed.
Although "pluging-in" seems like it would be unwieldy, it is in fact of no matter after one has done it a few times. Having the jacket liner makes the operation that much easier and also gives one the added advantage of having everything covered by the jacket, including all of ones neck, heated to the same degree as ones hands.
The battery operated gloves work: the plug-in work so much better.
