Ok out today dry but cold and had a purposeful look and feel at the way I grip and its mainly with my palm and thumb and from my knuckles to my fingertips I don't really touch the grips. Baring in mind my shit circulation in that area and my actual hands don't get cold I still don't see how heated grips will help me. I don't even use my hands much what with clutch-less changing and 2 finger braking with braided lines, I have tried wiggling my fingers around to see if that helps.
Perhaps I will just stick to short 1/2 - 1 hour blasts in the winter, after all I don't have to ride when its cold as I don't commute - but then again if I was communing I don't think my hands would get so cold as they would get used more with stop and starts and less wind blast.
So you have different hands to everyone else?
You don't touch the grips when riding? That's clever! :lol
Heat travels, if your palms are being blasted with heat then the attached fingers will obviously get some warmth as well.

No like I said my fingers from knuckles to the tips do not really touch the grips its thumb, palms and half my fingers, and warming my palms up wont help my finger cause I have got crap circulation.

It doesn't cook your blood, your hands will get hot inside the gloves creating warm air.
Stop making excuses, i'm fairly sure we all use the handlebars very similarly, we have to use the front brake and clutch too.
