I have those handwraps in yellow. I only used them for about a month and the elastic wore off on them. Plus the padding was thin and unreliable. I hate to trash any brand, but I rarely buy Everlast products anymore for their lack of quality and durability. Just my opinion though...;)

Like HMP, I have the yellow ones. They are OK for easy heavybag work I guess, but I hated them for hard or fast punching. The gel "shifts" around in the glove and you can feel it moving, particularly on passing a fist through on the speed bag.

I haven't use them for over a year.

I like them. Wrapping can be a pain. And pulling wrapped hands in and out of gloves so you can work different types of bags ends up pulling the wraps loose. Unless you want to go to the bother of tape.

I use a pair of Evergels that fits tightly. I pull the cross straps pretty tight but don't attach them to the little velcro tabs. I attach them inside the wrist wrap. This seems to hold the gel in place.

I agree with HMP about the Everlast quality. It can suck. But all the Evergels I've had have been ok.

Try the Century padded gloves (Academy). They have an extra little bit of padding that protects the middle row of knuckles which I really appreciate with my camo canvas heavy bag Everlast ones stop just above that row and I eventually rubbed my knuckles raw/bloody. I originally bought the everlast gel's but busted the stitching easily, it split right between the fingers. If it's got a flaw in it's design, I'll find it/break it, although I might be a little harder on my equipment than some.

I have the same Century gloves and have owned three other pairs through the years. They are tough, durable, and protect the fist and knuckles better than any like priced gloves. I've tried just about every kind of light glove and I've always fouynd myself returning to the Century bag gloves, coincidentally I'm due for a new pair. I've been looking at the windy bag gloves and the combat sports standard mma bag gloves. They're both about 40 dollars and appear to be well worth the price...:cool:

i wrapped my hands properly yesterday! yey but found it didnt give that much protection to my injured nuckle. i then wrapped then thai style where you fold up the handwrap 3-5 times lay it across the nuckles and then wrap. i found it offered AMAZING protection, i gud thump really hard stuff and didnt feel a thing! really glad coz now i know when i start training muay thai in the next week or so i wont be damaging myself!

i was tempted to buy some of the evergels prior to going but after these pretty terrible reviews i think ill stick to wrapping and try to master it :)

In the beginning, you're working on learning the basics and proper form. You probably won't be doing a lot of hard hitting except for on a heavy bag. You'll probably be doing a lot of shadow boxing.

My point is, by the time you're really trying to hit hard, your knuckles should be healed up.

[SupergeZ]

hope so, been healing for months, and still got quite a while to go :(

[Chris M]

Don't do too much with it. The fastest way for it to heal is to let it rest and recover. I've learned that the hard way too many times.

[SupergeZ]

will do chris :)

just gota keep using it but to be carefull really, dont wana set the healing back anymore

I got 2 pair for my daughter to use at the college gym she hasn't got the hang of handwrapping yet lol so I figured she would use them more. I'm old school and use handwraps

[MDUNN911]

I haven't used them, but i have a buddy who used them as heavy bag gloves. He used them for a few days and they tore to shreds, right down to the gel. I would not recommend them, but I guess for the price they are alright if you go easy.

I recently bought a pair of the everlast gel wraps from walmart for about $10 cheaper than what Dicks sells them for. They are great. But they are not intended for use as heavy bag gloves. They are light bag gloves (speed bag or double end bag) or to be used in place of handwraps underneath bag gloves. Also, when taking them off, follow the guidelines in the directions and they will come off easily. If you have these gloves and they tear up because you are not using them as intended or did not follow the directions for use, then don't trash Everlast - blame yourself for not taking the time to read the directions or the product description.

Thanks for that tidbit Riqal, I was interested in those gloves when I saw them, I wouldn't mind giving them a try just to save time on handwrappping. However, handwrapping, though tedious, is a bit of an artform and meditation

[riqal]

Actually I prefer handwrapping underneath bag gloves for heavy bag workouts. I use the gel gloves for speedbagging only. I have really dry skin that is very prone to chapping. Speedbagging bare-handed sometimes cuts my hands up pretty bad, especially in the winter. However, these gel gloves have solved that problem - they protect my hands well, and they feel great while using them.

That's good, I'll think Ill give em a whirl, I've got dry skin too, but I haven't had probelms on the speed bag with chafing. And since I hibernated this past winter (lol) I had no problems:D

[riqal]

If you decide to get a pair, buy them from walmart. Walmart sells the blue ones for about $15. They only have large and extra-large. The large fits me just fine. Dicks sporting goods sells the same glove in yellow for about $25 - they have sizes s,m,L,XL.

i had a pair like these and they ripped after about a week on the heavy bag...dont know if i was using them too hard or if they're not a very durable product

They are not designed to be used as heavy bag gloves. They are, however, awesome speedbag gloves.

personally, I find the "gel" strip on top of these gloves giggles and constantly shifts around as my hands change directions. I find that it very annoying. Plus they are a pain to get on and off. I much prefer the gel wraps (http://store.titleboxing.com/pro-gel-speed-wraps.html) over the full glove model.

Forunately, my hands don't need padding, but when I do glove up, (not often) it's with my personal fav, the harbinger classic glove (http://www.harbingerfitness.com/cgi-bin/6fyd-xxe5x.cgi?130&&sku).

I just do the basic rhythm, so my hands are not changing direction as much as with other speedbag routines. So the gel gigling around was not really an issue. I say "was" because I returned the gel wraps (I explain why in the Reviews section). Also, it never took me more than 30 seconds to take both gloves off of my hands. Just follow the guidlines for removing them.

The last thing I will say concerning this thread is that the everlast gel wraps are, in my opinion, great speedbag gloves for a basic speedbag workout. But to each his own.

Yes, for basic rhythm punching from the front they probably wouldn't be a problem and the gel shifting isn't so bad. Like Big_Nesticles, I prefer the feeling of bare hands on the bag, but if I'm "off it for a while" I usually glove up a bit until the contract points toughen up again. Especially on a bag with a thick external beaded seam.

this is my first time posting because i got these awhile ago and had to give my opinion:). i know everyone doesn't think the same but in my opinion these work extremely well with some draw backs. when i used them on my heavy bag i could hit the brick part of my bag and would int even feel it. however not everything lasts forever.... after 3 times of using it a rip developed in the right glove soon followed by the left. after 2 weeks the hole got so big the gel fell out.... also it does not give you the most wrist support.... overall good temporary gloves!

But for speed bagging, they are cumbersome.... the gel messes wih the angles you are hitting .... wraps are better they don't hinder the punches....
The gloves are probably fine if you have nothing and your knuckles are all bruised and stuff..... but the techniques of advanced bagging need to have "knuckle freedom"....
What about golf gloves, baseball gloves and all that... I have used those over the years as a drummer when my blood blisters ache and when my skin is separating like dirt in the sun after the water evaporates.. that hurts!
Thin gloves allow punching technique to continue without getting in the way and protect as well.. Alan Kahn has recommended Harbinger gloves..they are great....
