 Very nice quality gloves April 14, 2008
Robert Sweeney (Mobile, AL United States)
For $26 (what I paid) you can't beat these bag gloves with a stick. Sure, if you are a professional boxer and are planning on using your bag glove HOURS A DAY then spending a lot more on gloves made for professionals would make sense. I've used these a few hours a week ever since I got them and they are holding up just fine and are very comfortable and easy to put on and take off.
Good Gloves April 9, 2008

I thought that these gloves were really cool because they are easy to put on when you have the other one on, i like the rist rap as well, not a whole lot of padding though
 Entry-level training gloves April 7, 2008

My initial impression of these gloves was a bad one: they absolutely reek of some sort of organic solvent used during the manufacturing process. It is difficult to hold these chemical-laden gloves up to my face when I'm breathing heavy during training; the smell makes me want to vomit. After a few weeks, the smell becomes tolerable. However, it almost makes me want to pay extra for leather gloves.
The gloves are well-made, I have no complaints about the fit or finish. The thumbs are comfortable and both sides feel the same. The cuffs are comfortable, with no sharp edges or other annoyances. The velcro is sewn on straight and is easy to use. The thumbs are attached, but can be easily freed up if desired. If you just use them for hitting the heavy bag, you're better off snipping the attachment; it will make it easier to grab the velcro and tighten it up. After making gloves for decades, I suppose Everlast has it down to a science.
These gloves are hard. I wouldn't want to get hit by them. If you want to spar someone, they won't appreciate it if you wearing these gloves. But the gloves feel good on my fists. I can really go berzerk on the hardest part of my heavybag without feeling any discomfort in my knuckles.
I'm not sure why Everlast claims that the gloves have an "anti-microbial" lining. As far as I can tell, it's just polyester. In any event, it works fine.
Some other reviewers have complained that these gloves fit too snug. I didn't find this to be a problem. When my hands are wrapped, they fit into the gloves snugly, but the fit is proper. If you have fat, untrained hands, or if you are a large-boned heavyweight, you might experience a tight fit. For most people, the gloves are as they should be.
For the money, these gloves are fine.

These gloves are good entry level gloves, I see many people give them five start but perhaps they haven't tried Grant or Cleto Reyes, if you're a boxing fan look at the gloves they wear, their doing away with Everlast because of the quality, they are cheap, I bought a pair myself when I first started in Muay Thai and now I also train in American boxing, but as became a better and stronger fighter I began to experiment with better quality equipment, so I gave my old Everlast gloves away. I love Cletos and still use them but they run a little big, I love Grants even more, the quality and material of both brands is a lot better than Everlast, you may pay 100 bucks more but you if you're not serious about your training or if you punch like a little boy stay with Everlast but if your really train like I do and profesional boxers,and fighters do the research and try out Grants or Cletos you'll feel the diffence in the foam and the 100% leather workmanship. Believe me Everlast is just an entry level glove.
