This brand has evolve from not only producing gloves, it goes from footwear, apparel and everything around boxing equipment, they got it !

Here we are going to review one of the Everlast boxing gloves which is the Everlast Elite Pro Style Training Gloves.

Pros

Pretty decent for entry level gloves. The palm area is mesh so it give your palm to breathe a little better during training. Easy to dry out after use if you are someone who easily sweat. The comfort level for this glove is high, it doesn’t take too long to break in so your hands won’t feel stiff.
Affordable price range
Amazon price : $40 (Amazon choice)

Cons

Wrist support is average. The strap doesn’t wrap around fully. I am not a big fan of not fully wrap strap because i have smaller wrist and prefer fully protected wrist from gloves even though I actually use hand wrap underneath gloves. You can always focus on your hand wrap being more focus on the wrist, here is video on how to do your hand wrap. This glove is made of premium synthetic leather which is imitation of real leather which will eventually won’t last very long if you are planning to learn boxing for longer than few months.

The strap part of the glove that gives less wrist protection

I would recommend this for entry level boxing gloves as long as you purchase from the original product if you want instead of buying a used pair. This would be ideal for someone who box for 1-2 times per week using it for short term, not meant for heavy used on these. Which gloves do you have for your 1st pair ?
