Bought these gloves. I am 5'11" with medium sized hands. When I first put them on they were so incredibly tight that I was considering returning them. They have stretched and fit perfect even with wraps underneath. Good buy

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.

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

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.
