Inadequate April 8, 2007 T. A. Clark (Spring Valley, MN United States) 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought a pair of these as a workout set for heavy bag use, and have been mostly disappointed with them for that purpose. Pros: Easy on and off, even putting them on by yourself. Wrist straps are simple and hold well. Breathe surprisingly well for the design. Cons: Even with hand wraps on, I found my right glove to fit too poorly to absorb punches well; the design makes it hard to form a proper fist without trying to grip the glove into a proper position to do so. The left I have no problem with for some reason, maybe just have a bad pair? The padding makes blows glance off of the bag to a degree that it made me feel like I was risking injury when using them for actual impact punches. Grips make my hands feel too open when punching, can't grip a tight fist... my hands would be bruised or very sore after even a modest workout with them.

These are great gloves. There tight fitting and very comformtable. Great for hitting my bag.
Great product May 19, 2007 K. Roberson (Pennington, AL USA) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought these along with the Everlast 70 lb bag and thoroughly enjoy both. These are light weight but offer good protection. They are my first pair of gloves to actually own and I think I made the right pick.
awesome high quality gloves May 31, 2007 Caleb Charles Hodson 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
These everlast training gloves are fantastic. I have another pair of training gloves made by TKO and they don't even come close to comparing with these ones. These gloves have excellent wrist support and naturally conform to the shape of the fist for more comfortable training. The shock absorption is outstanding. I have the Everlast H20 80 pound water heavy bag and when I struck the bag with these gloves, I heard the crisp "WHAP" sound like one would hear when hitting a baseball. Amazing... I am a training boxer and I have one tip for everyone. When buy buying training gloves, buy two pairs. Buy one 12 oz pair, and one 16 oz. pair. Or better yet, buy a pair of weighted super bag gloves. The heavier pair of gloves is designed to be used to help build endurance and power, and the light pair is designed to build hand speed. Just before a fight, bring the 16 oz pair to train with because when you fight with a pair of 10 or 12 oz gloves, your hands will feel as light as a feather and you will have power like you never thought possible. When buying boxing equipment, stick with the best, buy Everlast...
Good protection but hard to put on and take off. November 9, 2006 J. Rappl (Apex, NC) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
These gloves offer good hand protection for heavy bag work or sparring. The velcro closures work well but the gloves are hard to put on and take off alone. They do not breathe at all. Decent value for the money, but I'll spend more next time to get a better designed glove.
