What Calamity is saying is "lightest, warmest-take your pick 'cause you ain't gonna get both." Waterproof is a whole 'nother thing, too. The only glove that's really waterproof from every review and comment I've read is one in a plastic bag. I have sprayed mine and we'll see how that works out.

Mitts are warmer than gloves, because, as Calamity points out, less surface area to radiate and conduct heat and your fingers and palm are all together, so they warm each other. Mitts are like a sleeping bag for your hands. I have a pair of Sno-Claws-kind of a mitt with a separate thumb and forefinger. They are a compromise, but pretty handy.

You could try lightweight wool gloves inside a plastic garden glove-I'm not kidding, I read that somewhere. Not what I would use, but it would be light and waterproof.
