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.

Deerskin leather gloves, wax them for water resistance and under layer with your summer gloves.

You can get them in any hardware store. The are multi purpose and proven by workers in all conditions over generations
