I know its not spring time yet but i just want to be ready for when it comes. Over the past few years i've been using the fleece liners to my mittens which isn't cool, comfortable or water proof. what I'm looking for is a lightweight glove that won't get wet but isn't too insulated. I think a lot of people call them pipe gloves but I'm not sure. any specific models? or brands?

Marmot Spring Glove.

Proper leather glove with the lightness and dexterity of a pipe style glove, without the 0mm waterproof and fall-apart-ness of a pipe glove.

Cost a bunch but worth it IMO. A friend of mine wears them year-round with no problems.

POW make awesome pipe gloves. A little bit thicker than normal pipe gloves, but waterproof. I actually used mine all winter (Australia & NZ)

Pipe gloves would be great, like other people are saying. Most of them are fully waterproof, and they're padded but not insulated, so you'll be protected but still not sweating. Dakine makes some with some pretty sick graphics
