I've been using the Sturmfist 5 for commuting recently (no proper long, cold rides yet) and it's mostly positive so far.
They are subjectively warmer than the Castelli Estremo and Rapha Deep Winters + merino liners making them the best glove I've owned to date. That said, my hands still lack the ability to heat themselves adequately so if the commute is very stop-start they get cold again.
My biggest negative with them is the lack of reflective bits meaning hand signals are invisible to drivers.
A sample of my glove collection in my quest to beat cold hands... :(
I think until battery heated gloves become very compact with longer battery life, I'm never going to truly have comfortable hands when riding in the cold.
