Gloves are something of a personal thing. I can ride in the thinnest gloves down to stupid temperatures but other people I've known can't ride in the mid40s without gloves that are more appropriate for a ski area. That said, my favorite glove is Seirus All Weather Glove for temps down to around 20F. They are light, windproof...something that wool gloves usually aren't...and water resistant. Seirus makes other gloves that work well and are thicker. The price isn't bad at around $30 per pair.
