The Everlast�Pro Style�boxing glove is excellent for both beginner and intermediate level kickboxers. The outer layer of the glove is made of high-quality PU and lined with shock-absorbing foam. The closure of the glove is made of a strong Velcro-fastener.
Bought my original pair back in June 2013 and just partially replaced them with a different pair in May 2017. They have only been replaced as my go to training gloves by a pair of Venum gloves I received as a gift, the Venum ones are just more aesthetically pleasing to me..That being said, these Everlast ones are outstanding for the money! Over the four years I've owned my pair, I've put in countless hours hitting mitts, heavy bags, and even sparring. I'm no heavyweight, but certainly considered a power puncher for the 145lbs kickboxing division, and these have held up great. The padding to them is noticeably "broken in" but they still provide adequate protection even on the heavy bag. I've noticed plenty of teammates at my gym also using Everlast gloves, and haven't heard many complaints about them. Some people complain about anything that's not considered "top of the line" with a high price tag attached(brand elitism). I've also picked up several pairs recently as community gloves for some beginner kickboxing classes I've begun teaching on my own, because I know I'll get my money's worth. My personal pair still remain in my gym bag and get used, they're just not my main pair anymore, but not due to these gloves being anything but great for training at a great value.
