Who can recommend some light, waterproof gloves? Surely with half the newsgroup suffering from Reynaud's (I seem to have a touch, myself) there are a few glove experts. Phil? :-)
Out yesterday in 48F light misty rain, felt just fine in shorts and long sleeve shirt but once as my gloves became damp my hands got cold. Guess I could slip on some latex gloves, though the utter nonbreathability seems like a bad idea.
What works, and doesn't cost a fortune? I'm thinking little or no insulation: I could double up or use my ridiculous looking lobsteresque mitten shells if I need additional warmth.
I know there are lots of waterproof gloves used by hunters. I have a set of I believe thinsulate gloves, that are very thin , for shooting, that are also waterproof.

I take it you were using some sort of light polyester or nylon glove. These are good, but once they get wet, they don't provide much insulation (in fact they may almost do the opposite, acting as a heat sink by surrounding your hands with cold water).
I'd use something that has some water repellance and won't get drenched. Light Smartwool gloves would be my first choice. Wool repels water and insulates when it's wet. It works well enough that wool socks keep my feet warm even on days that I step in puddles of icy water.
Next choice would be my sporthill mitts (the sugoi mitts would also do fine) but these are a bit of an overkill for those conditions.

I use outdoor research airfoil gloves in such conditions. They seem to be waterproof/breathable. They have no insulation but block the wind and seem to work in rain also. I wear these for running and biking down to about 40f. For running in colder, I'd go with gore-tex shell mittens that have a light poly liner. Add wool or polypro liner to that as it gets colder - in other words the normal shell mitten system.
I really like the Brooks Paradox mittens. They've got a breathable somewhat waterproof outer shell and a really warm liner. They're super warm -- so much so that I really can't use them together unless it's below 25 or 30 (if above that, then I use either the liner or the shell alone).
I pretty much have to wear a glove or mitten below about 50 degrees. I broke my hand skiing a couple years ago and it often hurts like hell when it gets cold. So I've been through a lot of gloves and mittens to find ones that are toasty.

I use light Dryline gloves from Manzella, sold by RoadRunner Sports. I don't know if they carry them any more, though. They aren't waterproof in the usual sense, but they stay warm even when damp as long as you size for a loose fit.
