Amazon.com Product Description Help your adolescent get in top boxing shape with this pair of Everlast youth training gloves. The gloves feature full padding on the wrist to promote the proper punching technique, along with a dense two-layer sandwich of foam that absorbs shock, a nice bonus for both your child and his or her trainer partner. Plus, the gloves conform to the natural shape of a fist for more comfortable training. And thanks to the wrap-around Velcro strap and thumb-lock feature, your child's hands will stay secure in the padding throughout the workout. Sized at 8 ounces, these are ideal gloves for all your youth's training needs. About Everlast The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did. Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world's heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950's and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family's remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000. Everlast men's and women's apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future.

Youth Training Gloves September 7, 2008 Theresa Anderko (Arizona) Bought these for my great nephew (5 years old) - he loves wearing them when he's playing on his WII (or however that word is spelled). I'm sure they outlast his wanting to "play" boxing.

I wanted them for a pair of cheap loaner gloves with good wrist support for people with smaller hands, but these are totally unsuitable and I returned them. The product description on Amazon and on the box itself claims they're suitable for sparring, but they're totally unfit for anything except hitting the bag/pads. You can get better boxing gloves for the same or less from Piranha Gear or Combat Sports.
Great! May 19, 2007 K. Roberson (Pennington, AL USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought these for my 9 year old daughter and she loves them. They provide great protection for her when she uses the 70 lb Everlast bag that I also purchased. She has devised her own way of getting them on and off by herself (even though she never wants to take them off).
