The wife and I have rode with heated jackets on for years now. I also always install Oxford heated grips on my bikes. I can't say enough good stuff about the Oxford grips. They heat up fast and get really hot. I have to run them on low.
The jackets we have a Gerbing brand but they're and older version that they no longer make. Gerbing still makes jackets and jacket liners but I can't tell you how well the new stuff works. I'd expect that they do a good job. I also use the Gerbing thermostats on both bikes to control the jackets and socks.
We keep meeting riders who say they are cold and they don't know about heated gear. This is just a reminder the stuff is out there. I even have heated 12 volt socks. I rode 150 miles at 27 degrees once. People thought I was nuts but it's like riding down the road in a hot tub. The stuff will cook you.
