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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough bag, for tough workouts., August 31, 2005

This review is from: Everlast 4008 80-Pound Traditional Heavy Bag (Sports)

I too recieved this bag in a box semi-beaten up, but then again an 80 pound item in a lightweight cardboard box is bound to cause a little box damage. And no there was no interior protective bag, and my chain pack was tied with pink ribbon.
Now to the bag itself... The toughest, most well filled, and economical bags I have ever seen. I use light bag gloves and with the amount of filling and it's density I can punch for hours (If I had the stamina :) ), without getting the sore knuckles or the wrist pain that I used to get from denser packed bags. Plus it's an Everlast!!! This is a must buy for anyone who is looking for a heavy bag. Good luck and TRAIN HARD!!!

This review is from: Everlast 4008 80-Pound Traditional Heavy Bag (Sports)

This is an excellent bag for anyone regardless of rather you are training for boxing, martial arts, or just want to punch and kick something and will take whatever you can give it. I've tried a couple bags and this one was by far the best in the 80lb range. Another review mentioned a couple of "problems" that they felt were signs of a return, but are not. This bag does not ship with a plastic covering, the zipper top is intentially missing and Everlast includes a sheet explaining why (unzipping it voids the warrenty), and all the hanging chains do come wrapped in a pink ribbon. Most of the reviews comments are just how Everlast packs every bag. Mine arrived with with well done packing tape in a box that was a little beaten from shipping, but the contents were not harmed or dusty. I train mostly bar hand, so my only complaint is that the Everlast logo stitched on to both sides of the bag can do some extra damage to your knuckles, but if you are using wraps and bag gloves than it is not a problem. Regardless, the quality of the bag and the beating it takes, compared to many other bags on the market, makes up for the stitching on the logo.

This review is from: Everlast 4008 80-Pound Traditional Heavy Bag (Sports)

I am currently not impressed at all with Everlast's lower end heavy bags. I owned a canvas one years ago and ripped it in two days. Anyhow I got this bag from Dunham's because I needed something cheap and rugged to train in. It was not a good choice. First of all the bag is not filled evenly so after a while all the filler sinks to the bottom. This is a problem because you are basically punching "Nevateer" and air which gives no resistance at all. I might as well be shadow boxing. I purchased a TKO heavy bag years ago for the same price and it was the best filled heavy bag I have EVER owned. I have a combat sports int. Thai bag and it does not have the filling consistency that my TKO did(may it rest in peace). Finally, Everlast apparently does not like to take the time to properly fill their bags because upon re stuffing the bag, I found four sand bags mixed in with the cloth filler. That really pissed me off. If you can't even get enough cloth into the thing to get it to weigh 80 lbs. then maybe you should reevaluate how you make your bags. Plus when I hit a heavy bag I DO NOT want to wonder which hit will yield the pain of connecting with a sand bag. It is really quite dangerous to have sand bags in a heavy bag like that. Sand filled heavy bags are fine for some athletes, but most people know when there is sand in their bag. However when I have what is supposed to be a cloth filling bag, I should not worry about breaking my wrists, shins, feet and god knows what else. I returned the bag the SAME day I got it. PLEASE spend about 30 dollars more and buy a TKO, Ringside, Title, Combat Sports, or a HIGHER end everlast bag. I won't even comment upon the over all craftsmanship of the bag.
