I rode this morning with poor winter gloves this morning, mostly because I realized I didn't have my mittens about a mile out and decided to just suck it up. Bad choice; the gloves got wet and my hands were freezing for the most of the ride.

Does anyone have an suggestions on what kind of gloves to wear on the winter commute? I have a pair of fairly warm mittens, but the hindered dexterity makes me weary of wearing them. If I didn't have to deal with balancing and changing hand positions (drop bars...) and slightly tricky to grab brake levers, I'd be more apt to stick with mittens.
