I bought the Kali Protectives Laguna gloves for my daughter. She previously had some full finger gloves for Giro ,She loves the Kali Protectives Laguna gloves. She says the fit and feel for the gloves are top notch. She just started mountain biking and so far, these have worked out for her.Good grip not hot and they keep her fingers warm on chilly morning.The Material looks like it should last a few seasons.She says they feel soft to the touch but these are tough enough to withstand a good slide across the pavement.
