Heated motorcycle gloves or heated grips?

Every motorcycle rider has had cold hands at one time or another. Keeping the hands warm can make your motorcycle riding more comfortable (and thus more fun) and extend your motorcycle riding season. But which is better? Heated motorcycle gloves or heated grips? I've used them both, and the verdict is....

I've had heated motorcycle gloves from Widder for years. This was an excellent company, unfortunately they went out of business a couple of years ago so their products are getting increasingly harder to find. Other good brands exist, and you will find some of the same pros and cons with them.

Pros: Lots of heat

Cons: Fumbling with wires before riding, after riding, stopping for gas.

Cons: uneven heat, backs of hands too hot, ends of fingers too cold

Cons: limited adjust-ability of heat

Cons: dangerous to fumble with heat adjustment while riding (IF gloves are adjustable)
