Hi all - I'm at a point where I want to get my own set of gloves and I am looking for some feedback. I'm principally looking for a good set of protective, 14/16 oz leather gloves and I'm willing to invest a bit of dough. Everlast Professional Training Gloves: http://www.boxingdepot.com/bx-gl-29.html Ringside IMF Tech Training Gloves: http://www.ringside.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MFTG E I've heard good things about the IMF Tech pair, though some people have commented on them being tough to get on. Can anyone tell me anything about the Everlasts? Additionally - if you've got a good place to buy online, that would be appreciated! Cheers + thanks, b
I actually have two pairs of the Everlast Pro training gloves, a pair of black and a pair of white. I absolutely love them. Assuming your hands are wrapped well I've never had wrist trouble and Ive never hurt myself on the knuckles with them. I've let a buddy of mine borrow them once during sparring and they found out they fit nicely to the face as well. Unlike some gloves they're not to wide or bulgy either. One pair I just bought and the other I have had for a couple years now and they are still in great shape, so they hold up well also. Hope this helped. Any specific question about them just ask. P.S. Thats a good price too. I bought mine from Title for $90 a pair.
Very helpful post, Rock43 - thanks! How well do the white gloves hold up against scuffs and such? I think I'm leaning towards the Everlasts in red though... still, would be curious to know how they hold up
Obviously, seems they're white, scuffs and blood show up on them rather easily. However they're real leather, and are real durable, so I clean/sanitize my gloves as well as my head gear about once a month and they appear like they're right outta the box all over again. Besides the Everlast logo on the hook-and-loop part of one pair and the laces on the other pair, they still appear worn but only because they're white cloth. (my black pair are hook-and-loop and my white pair are lace ups)
