Lightweight waterproof gloves?

Do they exist?  I don't need a big honkin pair of winter gloves for a day like today, but I've discovered that soaking wet gloves are just as gross feeling as soaking wet socks. Any recommendations?

 

Thanks!

Depends on how much you're willing to spend.  There's probably hundreds if not thousands of different kinds of waterproof gloves out there.  Do you want mittens or gloves?  I'm a mitten fan for riding, personally.  

 

REI has some of their waterproof mittens on sale.  I just bought some with waterproof liners for 26 bucks or so.  Hopefully they work out.  I plan to use some wool blend mittens underneath if need be.

Neoprene is a little warm, but they sell gloves made out of this at army surplus stores and other places for not a terrible amount of money.

I just picked up a $3 pair of gloves at Menard's.  They are cotton, but the outside was dipped in something to create a waterproof shell.  I've used them a few times and they work great on days like today.  They are big enough that I can put them on over my regular biking gloves.

Here's my trick, and I'm the king of cheapness/frugality FYI. Use any type of thin gloves you have, and as a second layer slip on medical (thin rubber) gloves. I know, maybe a bit weird for the self-conscious, but works like a charm. Dollar stores sell the gloves.
