About Everlast
The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did.

Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world’s heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950’s and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family’s remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000.

Everlast men’s and women’s apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future.

These Speed Bag Gloves Stink...
I have been hitting the speed bag for many years and have found that both TITLE and EVERLAST seriously "miss the boat" on speed bag gloves.

First, the main part of your hand that you use to hit the bag is the part you cannot see when you are hitting it - the meaty part near your pinky. What happens from repeated strikes is severe pain without proper wraps or gloves.

Both TITLE and EVERLAST do not include any real padding in this area on any of their gloves. They rely solely on the surrounding leather - holding the useless pads in place for your protection. Why they put a dumb piece of weighted material for you to smash you hand into the speed bag/heavy bag and then do not include proper padding - is beyond me.

ADVICE: Buy wraps/padding/gel wraps for under TITLE gloves. They make better speed bag gloves and do not utilize the old "quarters in my knuckles" method.

Additionally people - hit the speed bag low!!! I see too many people (men and women) at the gym hitting a speed bag that they can barely reach. It should be chin-high - and not much higher than that. Small circles with the arms always up.

Til next time,

What more do ya need?
There's one more thing you should know about this glove, it has a small metal bar handle in the middle for when you clench your fist, and trust me, the handling on this glove is a dream come true.

With softness, easy off and on, and grip, I would recommend this for your hands.

Your fist will thank you.

A necessity, everyone owns a pair, so why not you?
I think anyone who works out on a heavy bag has these. They aren't really speed bag gloves, they are bag gloves. If you train as a boxer, you wrap your hands and use regular boxing gloves for most of your work, but these are for hitting things that don't hit back.

Because they offer minimal protection/padding, you use them on speed bags and heavy bags. There's no other way to train yourself to punch correctly unless you leanr to drive through the bag, and there's no way to teach your body to holds your hands correctly on punches unless you are forced to lock that wrist. Pain is instructive when you start out.

I can see pros and experienced amateurs just working exclusively with regular gloves (except for speed bags and the like), just to keep focused on realistic training. However, every single boxer started with a pair of these, and you will, too.

You will stink them up, the cheap seams will chafe your wrists, and somehow you'll never lose them. You may graduate to other gloves, but these will always be a reliable backup. No one steals them because everyone has their own smelly pair. A necessity.
