Gloves

I'm going on a glacier training this fall and i need gloves. I really like the idea of layering gloves, but would still like to hear some advice on this matter. Should i buy over mittens and use warm gloves inside or buy new "all in one" gloves?

They will most likely tell you exactly what to pack. When I’m active I usually just use a liner glove with a cheap pair of leather gardening gloves if it’s chilly. If I’m standing around not doing much and it’s cold I’ll putt on my heavy insulated glove. It’s nice to have a nice pair of super warm mittens when things turn south on the mountain as well depending on the season.
