I have a pair of "ironclad, cold condition" work gloves. Got em at menards 2 winters ago and use them for a lot of tree work. neoprene cuff pretty much water proof, not bulky at all. Warm as long as you keep your fingers moving. "Joka Therm" mittens are my favorite tho. Neoprene shell with a polar liner, completely water proof, hands never get cold, Very durable, easy to get on and off. they make a glove version of these but never tried em.
