Review: Everlast Professional Hook-and-Loop Training Gloves - Black



I have been using these gloves for about 8 months now and I like them quite a bit. They are multi-purpose for me as I use them sparring, hitting pads and hitting the heavy bag.

Composition:
Real leather outside. Nylon inside. Velcro staps. Five layer foam padding.

Construction Quality:
The construction on these is top notch and the leather is high quality. I guess you'd expect that from a company that has been making boxing gloves for like a hundred years.

Fit:
These gloves hardly needed any break in period at all and were very comfortable after only a few uses. I have very long skinny hands and they do feel a little tight with wraps on. I do have to wonder how they fit someone with big meaty paw-hands.

Pros:
The very wide velcro straps probably provide a little less wrist support than lace up glove models, but I laugh when other dudes struggle to get their gloves laced up while I just pop mine on and use my teeth to strap the velcro.

Cons:
After 8 months of moderate use, they are still in great shape, the only visible wear is that the Everlast logo on the wrist closure has faded considerably.
