Depending on how often you're out and how cold you are ready to go, I have found my Spada Enforcer to be absolutely spot on. For the price they are amazing. Used down to 3/4 deg C and never had the heated grips at max temp. After that it's car.
Could be considered slightly thick but I still have no issue operating indicators and switches.

It's hard to beat Held Gore-Tex gloves such as these:

I had a pair of Held Gore-Tex gloves before my current AStars 365 goves and the Held ones were much better. I'll be buying Held again next time.
The Gore-Tex and outlast lining keep hands warm and dry in cold weather but are thin enough that the gloves can still be used in warm summer weather. Held are the only manufacturer (that I know of) who offer the option of long or short finger sizes which I find great as I lave long but thin hands. Their gloves also have a useful built in visor wipe fitted to the left fore finger.

Spada Enforcers - £50 cant beat them for their price.
Except I found that my hands stunk whenever I took them off as did my director at the time who also had a pair.Moved to Dainese Scout Goretex gloves and never had the same problem.

I have bar muffs and heated grips now so use dainese d-drys. But without them i would go for enforcers again i think, just buy a new pair every year.
I bought a pair of these last year for commuting: Eska Pilots. They've been excellent so far (just started using them again within the last month or so).

heated gloves, it's the only way to be sure
I've got the Furygan heated gloves - they're very comfortable, you can still feel the controls, fairly warm without the heat on...but when it's cold enough to need the heat, they are insufficiently powerful to make any difference at allTotal waste of money

battery powered rechargeable = not that good
I too tried the Furygans, still have them, nice gloves and the warmest I own, but at best on full power, the heat is about luke warm, just enough for my winter riding of 2-3 hrs at a time. Not really up to daily commute at motorway speeds.
Good gloves and heated grips, or even just use simple hand protectors, thats what I used daily 25 years ago when commuting daily all year round
Rukka Virium gloves are good all rounders, not really used them in <5C but they're fine right through summer and at this time of year, fantastically waterproof and not at all chunky with really good feel.
Also knuckle and scaphoid protectors, though I haven't tested them
My hands do not smell in the least and I've not cleaned them in a year or two.
