i have some and they are better than no heated grips but i'm not 100% happy with them. (for mid winter riding anyway)
my main issue is they only heat the palm of your hand and your fingers if you grip all the way round. i ride with 2 fingers on the brake lever and these feel no heat at all, i also find the tips of my thumbs suffer too. i do change my grip for motorways but town riding i find people still keep trying to kill me!
my other issue i have is electrical. i have to choose between headlights or heated grips, headlights usually win. they have a safety cut off to stop you draining your battery and unless im always above 4000 revs my grips will cut off. again a bit shite for town riding.
dont get me wrong, i'm not knocking them and they are definatly a nice addition. just don't expect toasty warm hands all year round.
if your budget stretches to it i'd consider heated gloves, however at double the price i wont be buying any.
