Anyone tried any of these gloves that have been designed specifically for bikes equipped with heated grips?

I beleive they have more padding on the back of the hand and less on the grip to let more heat though.

Any recommendations?

Cheers

This sort of thing.

Never seen 'em or tried 'em.

I use RAF quality deerskin flying gloves with my heated grips

..... then add a heated waist-coat if it's cold. Works for anything below the treeline. Next thing for me going higher would be handle bar-muffs, rather than gloves with overthick backing. I've got a drawer full of constricting overthick gloves which are all uncomfortable, insensitive and ultimately dangerous. All worn once only!
 
I don't like the look of that seam on the thumb of those Hotgrips gloves. Looks like a potential weak point.

I've been using a pair of Alpinestars ST1 for the last 2 years. They are not leather but are very comfortable and work well with heated grips. They are the best waterproof glove I've ever had. I rarely use my thicker, padded gauntlets.

I paid about £30 for them in Haines of Cinderford.
