Does anyone make gloves to use specifically with heated grips? I'm thinking heavy on the outside to keep the cold air out but very thin in the palm area to give full effect of the heated grips.

I just received a pair of FXR Attack Lite Gloves from Revzilla. They claim to have insulation on outer part of the glove but not on the inside of the fingers and palm. I tend to avoid heavily padded gloves because of low strength in my hands. I have only used them once on a 50 degree day and I was pleased with their flexibility and warmth. I did not use the grip heaters, so I do not know how well they will transfer the heat.
Absolutely. Plenty of them. I personally use the Scorpion EXO Tempest in the winter. They use thinsulation across the back side, with nothing in the palm. They don't have the best tactile feel on the controls, though, and I'm looking for something better.
I wear insulated riding gloves with the heated grips..I have found that my hands stay warmer with insulation all around the glove...the heat from the heated grips stays close to your hands because of the insulation in the glove...heated grips are nice, but nothing beats a heated glove in temps below 45 degrees.
Lee Park gloves. Not cheap but well made.

They were the first motorcycle gloves on the market to feature the amazing Outlast phase-change lining. Being thin on the palm side allows them to feel almost like uninsulated gloves, and for those with heated grips, they actually absorb the heat and Outlast's conductive properties warm both sides of your hands, without burning your palms like unlined gloves can.

I ride to Daytona Bike Week in March each year from Knoxville TN. Last year I did not need any external heat - the weather was in the 60's, The year before it was in the 30's. Glad to have heated gloves and jacket. The heated grips will be nice but the heated gloves and the heated grips will keep my hands warm and toasty no matter what - a great combination as i often take my hands off the grips when using cruize control and put them on other parts of the handle bars.
I don't mind spending money on riding gear - Shoei, Aerostich Roadcrafter, Darien, BMW Dry, Tourmaster, etc are all hanging in my closet but my most comfortable leather gloves are a $19 pair of Tractor Supply deerskins.I buy a new pair about every three years then I take them to a leather shop where I pay $5 to have a button snap installed in the gauntlet for security. They don't wear out but I ride in rain enough that the leather eventually gets dried out and less supple so I replace them. I have Held and Aerostich ropers and the TS ones are just the right thickness to be supple and tactile yet warm enough for 40 degrees and up. If colder I slip on a silk liner first. Grip heat comes right through the palms and fingers.
