Gloves for wind/rain/cold protection (lemm.ee)

I'm intending to buy some gloves to use for commuting on cold days. I'm looking for something wind-proof, fairly light, and hopefully a bit water resistant.

Here are three sets of gloves that I've been looking at:

Outdoor Research, commuter windstopper gloves
Arc'teryx, Venta gloves
Rab, Vapour-Rise gloves

I don't really know if any of those are good options. But they seem roughly what I'm looking for.

I'm wondering what gloves other people wear, and if you have any recommendations.

[edit] Although the primary purpose of the gloves is for commuting; I'd also like them to be my general "go to" gloves for whenever they are needed when visiting cold places.

In that context, look for insulated work gloves that are rubber coated on the outside.

I had to run errands in the pouring rain recently, and those performed really well!
