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.

Nice gloves.. except the thumb position. My thumbs in the gloves are almost vertical and there is so much material I couldn’t bend thumbs into proper punching position, causing some really nasty jams and fractures in my thumbs… don’t buy these if your actually boxing people.

If I could give them 0 stars, I would. I don’t know why they even still make these, as they should be illegal–and so should all that laminated foam rubber stuff they use in karate.
The materials break up easily; the stuffing shifts and starts flying all over the place. I could give tens of reasons why these are not only inferior, but complete garbage right out of the box.
Everlast in general simply isn’t good: low quality materials, design and workmanship, but these win the prize for all time worst sports equiptment in my book.
I recommend buying entirely Ringside–and this is coming from an experienced full-contact fighter.

First of all, I always respect EVERLAST quality. But the idea itself to make a boxing gloves without a loop velcro or lace is just weird, how can it be fit for any buyer which have different shape and size of the wrists? It’s just plain weird (I meant to say something worst, but ….mmh..no), make it easier to put in and out? not really since the designer try to “balance” that no velcro or lace idea up by making it very tight to get our hands in and out!! I mean tight, tight!! even without any handwrap, most people will have a hard time putting them on, especially if there’s no one around you to help put them on to you. We, as great human being, will some way to put them on anyway, but that’s not the point. It’s way too much trouble just to put them on just by saving your time not ot place a velcro or tying laces? how about your wrist injury risk? this one’a just palin weird, even from any other gloves maker, the idea itself just plain weird, unfortunately I’m commenting to this one by EVERLAST, actually by any other company, this is just plain weird, make sure get the velcroo oor lace one.
Thanks
