Garbing is headquartered in my city so I was able to get some heated pants and gloves along with controllers at an excellent price - 75% off retail! Pants have some armor and abrasion resistance and also have removable layers, waterproof membrane and 'quilted electric heat', so I can and do use them year round. Excellent quality pants I wear three seasons - only mesh pants are comfortable in the summers here.
Love them for thermal protection, was riding last winter for quite a while and couldn't even tell I was outside. Also purchased a battery powered lightweight zip up jacket from them for off bike use, took that to Iceland in January where it performed remarkably well.
Electric gear isn't inexpensive but it sure makes cold weather riding worthwhile.
