I'm using Keis heated inner gloves
https://www.sportsbikeshop.co.uk/motorcycle_parts/content_prod/101456

I've had to buy a thinner waterproof glove to go over them but they're doing the job well. I'm wired to the bike battery so have to plug and un-plug when I get on / off which has caused the supplied wire to snap as, while wearing gloves kept loosing grip and ended up pulling by the flex not the connector.

Can get waistcoat / insoles to plug in also, can get batteries for them.

Happy with the gloves themselves, did get medium at first but found them too snug so swapped them for large - sportsbikeshop have been very helpful.

There isn't any temperature regulation, the element is just on but they do the job nicely for me.

You missed the point about them needing batteries too, if you plan to use them off the bike.

The Keis inners are excellent as they have elements in each finger. I never feel that my hands are toasty hot, just never feel cold. Used them throughout the past couple of Scottish winters and they're far more effective than heated grips. In fact, I'd never consider getting heated grips again.

They come with the hard wiring for the bike's battery but I use the small battery pack most of the time as I'm jumping on and off different bikes.

Downside is what you can wear over them - I use the two finger Hein Gericke gloves which are fine, but maybe don't offer the best protection.

I have the Keis inner gloves too, they worked great with the battery pack The only problem I had with them was finding gloves to comfortably wear over as the fingers are a very tight fit due to the heating element getting gloves a size or two larger didn't help IME. I found some of my fingers really difficult to bend.

I tried their heated gloves at the show and while super pricey (~£150) they were amazing and seemed a much better option than my current heated grips(AME/Keis chicane) as they heated the back of your hands too.

I stopped wearing mine, as wearing XL gloves over the top of the liners was still too tight on my fingers, which reduced the circulation.

This might not be a problem if you have circulation problems though.

I'd still tempted by the x800 heated outer gloves though

5th line in my post "Can get waistcoat / insoles to plug in also, can get batteries for them."

Said batteries are rechargeable from the mains

Mum's got Raynauds so tried the gloves on but not plugged in (she won't go near the bike) but decided they were not for her - can't remember why
