Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves

DON'T BUY THE BLUE GLOVES. Only buy them if you have AMAZON prime with free 2 day shipping. I saw 3 pairs of these blue gloves, and out of the 6 individual gloves 5 were defective and missing padding in the fingers. The padding it was missing is important because it gives you padding to grip with your fingertips to grip the glove. Without it, your pushing straight through the pleather over time. This whole batch seems to be full of defective gloves, which is why I'm assuming they're on sale. I can't speak for the black gloves, but as for the red I've seen 5 pairs total, each one was in correct condition, except for one pair that had a small tear from shipping and handling. These gloves are great for beginners or someone tight on cash, decent starter gloves, you can't beat the price. Only use these for heavy bag or pad work, DON'T SPAR with these, the padding is too stiff and cheap, these are meant for heavy bags. Order red (or black maybe) and check over the whole pair. If there's any damage, missing seams, missing padding (check the fingertips) then order a replacement! Make sure you get your money worth and start with a perfect pair. That'll ensure you get the longest usage. Clean them and dry them after usage and they'll last you well. Also I should note that these do not provide great wrist support like more expensive gloves, so ALWAYS use hand wraps when hitting the bag. Unfortunately, these gloves will quickly degrade over time. The gloves are covered in loose seams that start to come undone as the gloves get used. This means things will split apart. After like 3 weeks, the velcro strap on both gloves was ripping apart for me. I had to sew through the thing again to keep it sturdy. Everything about these gloves is cheap, the sewing, the padding, the fake leather. These gloves are only useful for beating up on a heavy bag, and even then I recommend you spend $40 to $50 on a better pair from a brand like RDX, Ringside, or Title, that will actually support your wrist and knuckles, so that you can train longer without hurting yourself. For people looking for GOOD budget gloves, I recommend RDX. It's a UK company that makes amazingly sturdy, comfortable, and supportive gloves for a great price. They have some $50 gloves on sale right now for $35, and these gloves are way better and nicer looking than anything else I've seen in the price range. Just search "RDX boxing gloves" on amazon.Anyways final thoughts on these gloves: They are pretty bad. The cheapest gloves money can buy. Very little protection, very short life span, lazy construction. The only reason I'm giving them a 3 is because of the price, these aren't bad for a beginner or penny pincher who just needs something dirt cheap to hit a bag with.

These are very versatile gloves for someone who isn't boxing every day.They're simple to put on, and they have this flexibility that allows wraps to fit well.They're a very showy blue color and have an easy to use elastic band around the wrist.I'm not sure how long they'll last because you always get what you pay for, but if you're boxing once or twice a week for a workout, it's a good glove.

Straight out of the packaging, these gloves STANK. It's a crazy strong chemical smell that likes to stick around for MONTHS (kind of like that friend you wished would stop sleeping on your couch) Even the closet where they were stored took on the same gagging essence of TOXIC SPILL. And even more concerning was the WARNING right on the packaging "This product contains a chemical known to the state of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm" Yeah.. So there's that. But, the velcro lasted roughly 4-6 months with heavy bag training (by a 6'2, 180lb dude) and while they're ok for the price, they just smelled too much like cancer waiting to happen, to ever buy again. o.O

These aren't terrible gloves, but even for a general user these will eventually fail you. The wrist is much too large and leaves a lot of spare room to accidentally bend your wrist, even if you're a skilled puncher. The wrist strap is only along the bottom of your wrist, so it will never tighten as much as a glove that goes all the way around your wrist which can also lead to accidental wrist bends. I've used 16 oz gloves for the past 5 years but these were the first ones that felt 'too big' and were the first pair of Everlast I had bought.The padding is good, they're quick and easy to get on and off, they did last for at least a year before they started to let me down (and honestly that's probably longer than you'd want to keep a pair a gloves with daily use). Once the wrist strap started to go I would have the velcro come undone in just one round of bag work and that's a dangerous way to train.

I was so disappointed to say the least. I just recieved these gloves and was looking forward to using them in my boxing class. I opened them up. 1st they were so dusty, I didn't even want to touch them they were that dusty. I had to wipe them off. The bag they were packaged in looked to have been old and like these gloves have obviously sat up somewhere for a long period of time. The right glove looked to have some peeling coming off from around the thumb area. You can see the grey part of glove underneath. Complete turn off by these being brand new and all. I shouldn't have seen anything like that for some time of just wearing and tearing but I hadn't even wore them. I had just opened them. Needless, to say I'm very disappointed. I thought I finally would have my pwn gloves for class. But now I have to search for new ones and more than likely I want have them for this weeks class...
