Default Thin waterproof gloves

Sounds like an odd request, but I have a 10 minute journey to work in the morning and dont want the faf of putting on a massive pair of thick gloves for that journey.

Can anyone recommend a pair of thinnish waterproof gloves. Something with decent protection would be a "nice to have".

Alpinestars Tech Road's - they're leather, thin and Goretex. Had mine over a year and they've yet to leak a drop. Only snag is they're not warm in the slightest!

Only snag being they're not cheap - cost me £99 last August...... They're really light & comfy though, and look pretty substantial in case of an off.
