The Everlast�Pro Style�Boxing Glove is excellent for both beginners and intermediate level kickboxers. The outer layer of the glove is made of high-quality PU and lined with a shock-absorbing foam. The closure of the glove is made of a strong Velcro fastener.
First is the color. I chose pink so no one in my household would be tempted to use my gloves. And, I love pink! Second, the fit. Very comfortable to wear. Third, painless. No matter how hard I hit the bag, my hands/knuckles do not hurt. I started out using my bare hands on the bag and found out quickly that it hurt! I was casually using my daughter's karate bag and didn't want to invest in a set of gloves, however, after a few sessions, I knew my hands would appreciate the extra padding. I didn't know much about gloves so went with a brand name I recognized (Everlast) and have been very happy with my purchase. I also appreciate the large velcro tabs around the wrists. They're large enough to grab with the opposite glove (note, the thumb is connected so you are somewhat limited in grabbing the velcro piece) or to grab with your teeth (which feels like the legit boxer move anyways!). I've been very happy with these.
