Everlast Leather Heavy Bag Gloves: Are They Worth
It
Is there a better known name brand in the world of boxing
gloves than Everlast?
Other than Ringside, it is doubtful that any other company
comes close.
The fact that Everlast gloves are now sold in many retail
sporting goods shops adds to their popularity. Of course, that
may lead some to asking are these gloves worth the hype.
Personal Experience
This is what a colleague had to say about these gloves...
Well, here is my personal experience: I bought a $30 pair of
bag gloves in 1998 and they are STILL in good shape 12 years
later. Okay, they are a little worn after so many years but they
provide excellent, adequate protection.
They were in perfect condition for 6 of those years so I can
strongly attest these are among the most durable gloves on the
market.
Long Lasting
When you purchase Everlast, you are definitely buying a pair
of gloves that live up to the hype. Then again, there really is
not 'hype' associated with them because the truth is not being
stretched.
These are gloves that will last. The fact that Everlast will
'ever last' is not the only positive benefit to them. Some of
their other positive attributes include:
Perfect safety protection
When you wear the gloves properly and store them in a safe
place after use, you will not see any severe decline in the
ability for the gloves to protect your hands. Of course, wrapping
your hands when using the gloves will further enhance safety
levels.
The stitching in the gloves is not prone to wearing out. That
means you will not end up with worn or ragged edges that lead to
lacerations. Once again, this will also be contingent in terms of
how well you take care of the gloves.
Which Gloves?
The gloves come in a variety of ounces and sizes, which will mean
you can select the proper glove for your height and weight.
You need not feel restricted to only a couple available sizes.
You do not want to select the wrong size gloves!
This could open the door for a number of avoidable injuries.
It also drastically reduces the comfort level of wearing the
gloves. Neither option is really worth it.
As with any other products, there will be cons and
imperfections with Everlast gloves. Honestly, the amateur and
professional gloves produced by Everlast are pretty much without
any cons.
However, the low cost gloves that come with a $20 or so price tag
are not worth purchasing. They are cardio gloves that open the
doors for many hand injuries. Other than a double end bag and
maybe (MAYBE) focus mitt training, wearing the 'cheapie' gloves
will present an injury risk.
If there was a con with the amateur and the professional level
bag gloves, it would be the cost. You will end up having to pay
for quality this may prove to be a budget strain for some.
Really, you cannot go wrong when you purchase a pair of
Everlast boxing gloves. The company makes outstanding gloves and
they are highly recommended to anyone taking up the art and
science of boxing.
Everlast is the best bag gloves you can buy. IMO that is. What do you think?
