 They are durable January 9, 2007

I got quite a few in 3 years and they are really durable, washable and are not ripped off yet. They're good wraps for heavy bags but get some gloves too.
 Useless! December 17, 2005

These are indeed the short, static hand wraps. You don't want static wraps, period. They're also too short.

These wraps are comfortable and easy to clean. I'd recommend them to anyone for training.
Great product, made for smaller hands December 5, 2007

Right off the bat, you need to know, these don't allow you to wrap the knuckles if you have average or large hands. If your wrap technique doesn't thread the knuckles you MIGHT get away with it but I wouldn't go there. I bought a second set for my wife so now she's set. I had to buy elsewhere for myself. For her, they are fantastic. No surprise, they're handwraps.
 Everlast quality control is lacking. January 13, 2008

At one time, you just needed to see the Everlast brand name to be assured that you were getting a top-quality product: one that would withstand anything you could throw at it.
Now that they've outsourced their manufacturing to China, Everlast quality is not the virtual guarantee that it once was.
I purchased (and use) these wraps. However, one of them was manufactured improperly. The velcro closure is sewn to a different side of the wrap than it is on all the others. Because of this, I always ended up putting it on backwards. I finally marked it so I would know to put it on differently than the others.
For around $10, you should expect to get something that has passed a quality-control check. After all, wraps are just some strips of cloth and velcro; they probably cost about $0.25 to manufacture.
These wraps are short, just over 100 inches, but fine for hitting the bag. They are not elasticized, but that is fine for my purposes, as it's what I prefer. If you want to do serious sparring or fighting, or if you want to put some padding on your knuckles (under the wraps), you'll need longer wraps than these. In short: you can wrap your wrist, knuckles, and thumb with these, but you won't have enough material to wrap between your fingers. They come packed in a plastic mesh bag, but it can't easily be reused. A cloth mesh bag with a drawstring would have been better.
Summary: overpriced and shoddily-made.
