I spent £45 on a pair of gore gloves earlier this winter and my fingers still hurt in the cold (last night for example) so i'd certainly be up for getting a pair of heated gloves next winter, especially if they are slightly more bike friendly.
for me they'd need to be waterproof, have a snot patch, be reflective and have the kind of sleeve / cuff thing discussed above so there wouldn't be a naked spot for the cold to get in. that's all a winter glove needs to do to tick my boxes. being able to turn them off easily would also be an advantage. Obviously the smaller the battery bit the better. I'm sure it would be miles more expensive but something small, flat and light like a phone battery would be preferable to AAs.
I'm also now going to get me some heated inner soles after having some real problems (infected chilblains in case anyone wants a grim image) with my toes this winter.
