Quality Gloves, December 14, 2010
This review is from: Everlast ProTex2 EverGel Training Gloves (Sports)
These gloves are great for boxing. I have used them for over a month and they have held up well. I spend 8-10 boxing each week and they have shown to be very durable. I got the gloves in 16-ounce weight because that is required for sparring. After sparring with them for some time, they are much better than other gloves I have tried. The cushioning on these gloves is much better than my previous ones, so they're ideal for sparring.
As for bag work, the gloves have great wrist support. The fit is also perfect for me. Although the strap is very short, it is flexible. Overall, these gloves were a good investment and I'll hope to follow up after another few months of using them.

Great for the price, May 3, 2010
They're not leather, but they are an excellent glove for the money. The breathable palm section works well and the cushioning is great for protecting your knucks. If you're hitting the bag less than 5 hours a week, then these will do just fine.

Buy them ONLY if you want them as bag gloves, June 16, 2011
This review is from: Everlast ProTex2 EverGel Training Gloves (Sports)
From my experiences training with these gloves over a four month time span, I would say that they need to be classified solely as bag gloves and used only for that purpose. I purchased them to replace a pair of cheap gloves that I had been using for over a year and a half as an upgrade and treat for myself. Instead, for the first time in my life, I began having some significant pains in the joints of my hands and wrist following sparring and mitt work. Essentially, when I would work on a bag my hands would be fine, however any time the force of an opponent/partner was thrown in the mix, I was hurting and having to ice my hands and wrist.
I think the problem is that the evergel material, while cool and comfortable, just isn't giving enough support to sustain significant striking. If you're a fighter and want a GREAT bag glove, then go ahead and get them. But if you want sparring gloves or dual use, you're better off plunking down the extra change to get a different pair. Personally, I would go with Hayabusa or Bad Boy.
