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.

This is a good practice bag. The quality is fine, it seems to be evenly packed, and the fit'n'finish is acceptable.

Unfortunately, Amazon's price is a bit steep. They claim to offer "free" shipping, but the shipping costs are obviously hidden in the price. You can get this same bag, along with padded bag gloves, hand wraps, and Everlast's mounting kit, for less $$$ at Walm@rt. Plus, you won't have to wait a week or more for FedEx to deliver it.

In recent years, Everlast products have earned a reputation for shoddy quality. If you check my other reviews, you'll see where I gave another Everlast product a bad review. However, this bag is top quality. The only thing that could make it better is if it was made from leather, but that's not a problem, unless you want to kick it while wearing shoes.

Summary: good quality, bad price.

This thing is great, be sure to get some heavy bag training gloves with it. I'm able to punch as hard as I possibly can without killing my hands so it does its job :) Although kicking is another story, its much harder towards the bottom and my foot regrets that haha

The punching bag arrived very promptly, and was in good condition. The cardboard box was a bit beat up, but that's to be expected for such a heavy package. The bag is great for helping with stress, and seems to hold up well. Overall, this was a good buy.
