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.

Executive Punching Bag,
By
This review is from: Everlast Desktop Speed Bag (Sports)
We purchased this desktop punching bag for a Technology Department office. We put it on a table by the door so Techs can punch it when they come in or go out - to relieve stress. Amazingly it lifts up everyone in the room when someone punches the bag because we all understand the pressure and frustration that the work place produces and now we have a fun venting mechanism.I was afraid that the suction cup bottom would not hold the bag in place - but the cup securly holds the bag on the table top even with excessive and forceful punches. When and "if" this one wears out - we will definitely order another one. No office should be without one!

Quite good for the price, but does not stick that well...,
By one-from-overseas (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Everlast Desktop Speed Bag (Sports)
I have always wanted a speed bag, despite not knowing anything about boxing. Since I live in apartments and tend to move quite a bit, I did not feel like buying a professional one that required making holes in the wall. When I saw this I bought it right away, as I have a chest-high counter that seemed to be made specifically for this. It seems to work pretty well, but the suction is not very good. Once I managed to smash a dish when the thing simply took off after a punch, but that was a rare event. What happens on a regular basis is that the thing moves while you use it. However, I could have received one with a defective suction cap, so do not be discouraged. If you avoid putting breakable objects on the other side of the speed bag, you should do fine. Even if it takes off, it is not heavy and thus it is unlilkely to do much damage. Would buy it again despite this defect...

Bad Suction,
This review is from: Everlast Desktop Speed Bag (Sports)
I purchaced this product when I was looking for a speed bag that would be easy to install without having to put holes in my room. It is very fun and easy to use but the suction cup doesn't want to stay attached. Despite the tackyness of it, I have resorted to duck taping the suction onto the table and have had no problems since. Once again, proof that duck tape should be the #1 sold item on Amazon.
