When I did a lot if hill and mountain climbing, I used to do the opposite. I wore thin, stretchy gloves with rubber 'blobs' for grip, under knitted fingerless gloves.

Mind you, UK winters are not as cold as yours - I would probably add big mittens on top (wow, 3 layers!) if I went somewhere seriously cold.
