I'll second that.
I find that the problem with heavy gloves is that I lose so much
sensation that I become dangerous - either to plants I am pruning
or to myself.
I need to be dangerous to the brambles, so that's a bonus
How do heavy gloves make you more dangerous to yourself?
Tools slipping out of my hands. Failing to realise that what I
am relying on for balance (and I balance entirely by touch) is
not stable. But the former is the main one, and applies to
almost every user of potentially dangerous tools. It's a known
cause of industrial accident, in most cases a price worth paying
because of the reduced risk - but sometimes it is the protective
gear that is the main risk.

I find that without gloves you think about every move you make, not just
grab.
