I have always used Heated Grips (Oxford Sports more recently) and Alpinestars Goretex Gloves. If you buy gloves which don't have a Goretex (or similar) lining, they will surely leak during long trips in the rain. I've had shitloads of different gloves which were labelled "waterproof" and most of them were far from it.
No matter which gloves you buy, when the outer leather is sodden with water, they feel heavy and miserable. When you have Heated Grips, you always have the option of switching over to another pair of spare gloves - but you don't get that option if your choice of heating is the gloves themselves.
I know lots of people will be saying "Yes, but who rides in shit conditions like that"? Well that's true apart from when you're on a touring holiday and have no choice. Or if your bike is your only form of transport.
