Everlast Protex2 Gloves...

[Pork Chop]

and id like to add about the main topic here... the everlast protex gloves or w./e they called

they are defiently a step up for everlast, and they look like they offer good wrist support... but i dunno i havent tried a pair on, so hard to tell. but i licked my lips when i saw them, they look nice, and look like they might actualyl be good. but for 199, no thanks. id rather add another bill on it and buy winning

Really?
I thought they looked cheap as heck.
The old pro trainers had a type of leather that looked thick, but soft, with lots of wrinkles in it, and pre-broken in.
The old pro trainers were actually one of the nicest hand pockets I've ever felt on a mass-produced glove, which includes most of the biggest names out there.
This new stuff looks like more of the same old BS they've been peddling with the high performance line and then the Protex2 (with vinyl - less than $40 & available at most sports stores).
I don't like leather that looks like plastic.

To change subject, the Rival stuff looks pretty quality.
I've only seen one pair up close & it looked like it would last.
Just not thrilled about some of their design choices - I don't like the tribal on the back of the glove, not a huge fan of the space age look either.
The wrist strap part looks like a really good idea though, I've seen something similar on a pair of new Fairtexes and I think that's what Everlast is trying to bite off of for the Protex line.

Right now, the main gloves that look attractive to me are:
Legacys, Flores (Beaulieu), Shevlin, and Grant - first two are very hard to get ahold of and the last one may not be what it once was.
Also kinda like Tufwear, King, and maybe someday I'll give Winning a shot.

I've got the everlast Protex 14 oz... not sure if they are 2 or not, but I just got them, for ~$40 at my gym. In comparison, my title 18 oz sparring gloves were about ~$80.

Happy with them for what they are... relatively priced training gloves.

My last pair of everlast cheap training gloves 16 oz lasted me 6 months or so and then starting hurting my knuckles, and I used those suckers a lot... it seriously just depends on each person... but to say they are cheap and mass produced in china... whatever floats your boat.
