Default Thin waterproof gloves?

Most waterproof gloves I see are pretty thick like the ones I currently own. Not great for summer rain when its often quite warm out.

Any suggestions? I'm curious if there are any thin waterproof gauntlet gloves out there yall are using...

I use gloves from under armour.I also have HD gauntlet gloves(thicker than the UA) i use more when its cold out, Coupled with the UA mountain glove liner. Love them. Have nice grip on the palms also. The UA Jonsey glove also works well in the rain, not a gauntlet but my rain jacket has nice velcro closure around the wrist. still keeps the water out.

I have a pair of landscaper gloves that get wet but still have grip and air dry fast. Wally world has them and they will block road debris from hurting your hands.

Good luck is all i can say... Maybe you can get a leather (claiming to be Waterproof) and treat them...Maybe a company like Aerostitch.....I have tried so many and i am now thinking them or Alpinestar..

I was at home depot the other day and got a pair of PVC coated gloves for about $5. They are a thin fabric glove dipped in what feels like a rubber coating. I had wanted to give these a try for rainy days and I got a chance about 2 weeks ago and they worked well. If I were to use them for a longer trip, I'd use a liner under them for a bit more warmth.

Here is what I a referring to:

These PVC gloves are very slippery and wrists are exposed; try dish-washing gloves instead.

I've used a pair of thinly lined (insulated) dish washing gloves. 100% waterproof.

Look at some ATV riding gear. I have a pair can't remember name off hand but work good. They are 3 layers but thin. Very thin outer layer with a rubber center layer then like a felt layer that's against your hand. Only A little thicker than like a mechanics glove.
