Product Information

Here’s an insightful forum comment on the decline of Everlast quality over the years: Everlast and Title , same company or no?

Made in China. This might explain why they hardly ever use real leather and also the inconsistent quality control and workmanship. Lonsdale also sells many of the same sports/clothing items as Everlast. Like almost exactly identical. In case you’ve wondered, both companies are now owned by the same company in UK, called “Sports Direct”. Originally, Everlast was started in New York 1910, Lonsdale in London 1960. I personally would not buy from any of these brands because I don’t like their quality and price. You’re paying more for the same stuff that you can buy for less from the OFF-brand clone companies (albeit without the cool designs, familiar name and customer service). These might do if you’re a beginner and can’t afford anything better. The good news is the name brands have clearance sales often. Anyway, these gloves are ok for temporary training but you should upgrade as soon as you can. Having several pairs of gloves helps to preserveyour soft sparring gloves, since they don’t last longwhen used on the heavy bag. The dense cushion inbag gloves can last a lot longer; but you can’t shouldn’t use them on sparring partners. Many boxers don’t know these brands and the ones that do don’t trust them. You might even get laughed at in the gym for wearing these brands. They are definitely no better, but also sometimes no worse than the famous brands. So if you know what you’re looking for, you can get a good deal on a not-so-good glove.Well-broken in: Many gloves such as the RB11’s (reviewed above) feel quite stiff to begin with and usually take multiple training sessions to break in. However, these HDE-F gloves feel excellent right from the get-go which is a great advantage. Ladies, if you love splurging on boxing gear like you do on your bags/shoes, here are your dream gloves! Nice gloves, good quality with a custom fit. Highly recommended for women. Di Nardo is wayyyyy better than Grant. Only it isn’t aswell known but this should change soon.

Unfortunately for the brand, the gloves I tried were absolutely crap and after my experience, was determined to write them off forever. I also wasn’t the only one that thought TOP TEN gloves are bad. Not surprising considering they are made in Pakistan and while their gloves don’t have the typical clone design, they are still clone quality (which is pretty bad). Most boxing gloves will fit somewherewithin the 3 common shapes: LARGE, LONG, and COMPACT. 1. LONG-boxing, 2. LARGE-thai, 3. LARGE-boxing, 4. COMPACT-thai. (Photo credit: ryyonvin) Their gear is well-designed (aesthetics-wise), but really bad quality and over-priced. You should go with Titleboxing or Ringside to get a much better deal and product. This is the standard “bag glove” nowadays. They look like regular boxing gloves but with higher density foam to protect your hands againstdense objects like the heavy bag and mitts. The denser padding however makes them too stiff for sparring. Design: The design is brilliant. I love the criss-cross pattern of the laces, the different color combinations and the screen-printed rival logo is symmetrical.Don’t buy cheap gloves. Theydon’t last long and end up costing you moreif you have to keep buying new gloves. Cleto Reyes is the best-known, highest craftsmanship, and best leather of all the Mexican brands. They make excellent quality gloves but aren’t recommended for training because they’re known as “puncher’s gloves”—designed for maximum power transfer rather than cushioning and hand protection. With that said, they are still favored by many fighters, especially competing fighters, and now offer models with extra padding. ( See full brand review.) Natural high-quality leather is the most ideal outer material because it’s strong, durable, breathable, and looks good. What you don’t want is vinyl, polyurethane, plastic, or any other synthetic materials.Those materials are non-breatheable (hands get hot and sweaty), and leave your acidic sweat longer inside the glove (breaking it down faster).Non-leather also smells much worse than leather, probably because of chemicals. Grant, alongside Winning and Reyes, is considered as one of the top 3 brands in boxing (especially amongst professional boxers). Their glovesoffer great power transfer likeReyes gloves but are also protective somewhat likeWinning. They’re handmade in Mexico withgreat quality and offer customization options. For many years, custom-made Grant gloves were the most stylish and most premium quality boxing gloves anybody could have. This high class sparring glove offers not only a perfect fit but incredible comfort as well. Handcrafted using our indestructible Super Rich Microfiber with a foamy cloth lining, and a part mesh palm for added ventilation, this outstanding professional glove will give you countless rounds of high performance.
