I have gerbings but they are not battery operated, the wires aren't much of a big deal once you get used to them, the first year I had to plug in my liner, gloves to the bike I thought I would hate the hassle, but once you turn it on and get warm that goes away quickly!!!

I don't own heated gloves...I wear spring/fall riding gloves if the temp is below 50 degrees. I wore them this morning it was 41 when I left home. I've riden in 25 degree temps (course I have a fairing). I just don't feel i need to spend money on heated grips or gloves when the ones I have for cold riding work just fine. To me its just another piece of equipment. You could fill your garage or home with extra pieces or equipment.

Gerbings heated (not battery), easy plug in; I've rode on many new year day mornings when it was in the 20's, (who knows what the windchill factor was), but I can tell you they make all difference of cold or frozen hands to having nice and toasty hands. I also added the heated socks and the combo seems to circulate the warm blood very well. Heated gear adds many more days of comfortable riding to the session.

Agreed, I have the Gerbing G3 heated gloves (and jacket liner). They are not battery powered, but like everyone said the wiring is not an issue. Spoke with Gerbing yesterday and they said they will be offering the heated socks again in November (they were originally replaced by the heated liner but will be back in the line-up with microwire). I will be getting the heated socks right away. Expensive, but great purchase, they add many days of riding here in Northern Va.

I mostly only need them on some mornings going to work-not too often, but when it's really cold, I'm gonna want to have something. It may keep me from having to drive.

Used to have battery heated gloves a long time ago for riding snowmobiles. They didn't work all that well, but that was back in the late '70's/early '80's. They may have gotten better since then.
The kind that plug into the bike's 12v electrical system work much better than any of the battery powered gloves I used to have.
I do have a pair of the First Gear heated gloves (~$120 for the gloves/~$90 for a dual controller). They have been working very well in 28-30 degree temps this past week.
