    Hi,

    I ordered a pair of Protex 3 sparring gloves from Everlast, and they arrived today. I was a little confused because the gloves look exactly like the picture on the website, but the mesh packaging says
    "Cp: 16 Protex 3 Bag Gloves".

    I just got off the phone with a guy from Everlast, and he told me that the gloves are both sparring gloves and bag gloves.

    Does that sound right?

    The gloves look and feel nice, but they're a quite hard. I know I'm going to get complaints from my sparring partners.

    Must be "training gloves" and if that's the case use them for sparring because they will wear down quickly on a bag. I've only heard of 1 person who had them and said they fell apart on him within 2 weeks

    Yea, I once used bag gloves for sparring; needless to say, everyone hated it but me.

    The only guy I know who owns those uses them for the heavy bag.

    Try them in sparring first. If you get complaints, then switch them over for bag use. It's probably a mistake to do it the other way around.

    Well, I don't want to use them if I've been sent bag gloves by accident; I'll want to return them without a hassle.

    To any Protex 3 SPARRING gloves owners:
    1. did your gloves come in a package marked "bag gloves" (see above pic)?
    2. did your gloves have these markings?

    Thank you!
