    Everlast Protex2 Gloves...

    Does anyone have them or at least has used them? I'm on the fence on buying these... At $100, what are the best leather gloves for heavy bag/training?

    Well this is just me, I would not spend that much money on gloves for hitting the heavy bag. Don't get cheap ones as they are cheap for a reason, buy middle of the road ones for training. Then get some high end ones for sparing and fights. But that is just my opinion if that money is not much for you there is nothing wrong with buying the best to train in.

      i have used them my brother has them and they are alright but no where near the best. If your not that serious about boxing they are alright because they will not last that long.

        If he's willing to spend $100 on some gloves, then he's probably serious lol.

          I would never spend that much for an nEverlast glove, their reputation for gloves these days is absolutely garbage. If I want something mass-produced in China with inferior materials, I'll spend a lot less money.

              Well if you think it will help your training go for it. Just remember opinions on what a "good" glove will vary from person to person. Some people do not like everlast because they do not do it for them and others use it because they do not know anyother brand. Some people need lots of knuckle protection or lots of wrist support, so first look at the glove you are using whats wrong with it? too heavy,not enough padding, no support? Then start looking into a glove that will correct that issue. There may be nothing wrong with what you are using and it may just be the way you wrap your hands. Just look into it first.

                i use the evergel wraps and only have used the smelly, low entry everlast gloves (14oz).

                i've never suffered a fracture, but after using these, my right wrist hurts to the point of having to stop training for fear of hurting myself. i won't go winning because of their huge price, so i'm looking for the best hook and loop gloves out there just for bag work and training

                there's no need for them to be good for sparring, since i'll buy some really good ones when the time comes to move up to sparring

                thanks

                    Grant Campeon

                    Just get Grant gloves or Cleto Reyes, I prefer the Grant heavy bag gloves, they are easy on the wrist and good looking hehe.
