How durable are these? Would the Evercool kickboxing gloves be a better alternative for sparring and standing bag use?

Can not tell I bought them to small and not able to return them so I have to give them away

Hello Lisa,I like them. They are comfortable and cushy. My only problem however (and this may be because I am a novice at boxing) is that the exposed fingertips start to hurt after successive punches. So I put the generic mitten style gloves that came with my punching bag over these gloves and it protects my fingertips. Great support on my wrists and good cushioning for the knuckles but the fingertips - not so much. They are also girly cute. Lol. Hope this helps.

I used these for a Beginner class which was minimal hitting - no bag work and they were just fine. you may want something with more padding if you're going to spar/bag work.

I returned them. The fitment was very tight and they had a hard time fitting into my boxing gloves. If I would use wraps if I was trying to pick extra padding or protection that was going to be used with a boxing or sparing glove. I would not use these as a stand alone glove for hitting a bag.. Also the wrist wrap/strap was almost to high up to do any good.

It depends on the use. They would be fine for sparring, but for hitting a heavy bag, no. If you are going to be using a heavy punching bag you want something that completely covers the hand. I used these for a punching bag and my knuckles got torn to shreds.

While I don't think these gloves were made with weight-lifting specifically in mind, I can tell you that I've worn mine 40 hours every work week, for very arduous, hands-on, heavy lifting work, for about a month and a half now. They're holding up brilliantly. The palms and fingertips are a durable-weight leather, the stitching is very sturdy, and the wrists are elastic, with adjustable Velcro closure, so I bet they would stand up to weight-lifting fairly well. The only drawback with weight-lifting might be that the palms are extremely durable, but not terribly breathable. (Unlike the backs which are a lighter-weave fabric, and nicely breathable.) Hope this answers your question!

They're great for kettleball! Good grip and they hold up to heavy use. I basically wear them all through my strength workouts now, because they protect my hands so well. Getting another pair to save as backup in case I lose these!

Shouldn't be a problem. I use them for a combat class and by the time they get a little "damp", if you know what I mean, they feel pretty loose. The palms are a light material, not leather. Hope that helps. I really like them.

You can. They wont hurt the bag and will protect your wrists and hands, BUT they wont last as long if you wear them alone, without bag gloves. So still use bag gloves if you can. Otherwise Yes, a cardio strike punching bag or anything else that was made to be punch/kicked for training should be fine to use with these if used properly.

The gloves work fine for these purposes. The gloves provide a good grip. The real problem with the gloves is the seams. They will tear at the seams in a relatively short period of time. For deadlifts, though, you are far better off with a set of deadlift straps or hooks. They last much longer and work far better than gloves.

I use these gloves on a regular and they are great for all types of exercises. I bought specifically for pull-ups and the are fantastic. Get them, you won't regret it.

I haven't tried that specific Everlast style, but the gloves at my gym were Everlast and they had more cushioning. The Century fit so much better that I dealt with a bit less padding.

Which crime ridden city are you referring to because this really makes a huge difference in how well the Kevlar will perform. All I know is don't wear them while master-bating. The gloves will not hold up to hours of abuse as this. I have tested frequently

I'm not a good example for wraps as I don't really wear them (and I injured myself once or twice), But, I would wear wraps for heavy bag use or serious sparing. Like the other gloves out there, Alone, The integrated wrist wrap does not provide enough support for extensive pounding (in my case, for hooks).

yes, they have a good amount of grip for the price you are getting them. i would recommend these gloves if you're looking for a cheaper price and they will last if you take care of them.

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

These gloves are not extremely thick if you are worried about sharp objects however they are very durable. I have used them for about six weeks to weed, plant etc. They are also very comfortable.

I have had mine for a few years, lifting about 5 days a week and so far have not seen any damage to the gloves. Very durable.

I think these Gel-Hand Wraps are more for Boxing/Muay Thai/Kick Boxing...Not sure if they'll fit inside MMA gloves. I've tried these inside Everlast Protec 12 Oz (Large) and Hayabusa Tokushu 16 Oz...they suit me fine so far for both of the boxing gloves i mentioned. Hope that helps.

They are very durable. I don't think they will wear out anytime soon. I wear them 3 days a week for any squat type exercise with the exception of cleans. They are very thick. Just becareful the only way I see them riping is from pulling them on if your fingernails dig in. Enjoy they are worth every penny!
