Sorry I can't embed.

Everything he said was spot on. I thought you guys needed to see this review cause most of you, including myself at one point, would absolutely have nothing good to say about everlast. Here's the glove that imo sets them apart. No other glove aside from Winning is as comfortable.

If I had to compare winning to these, of course winning would win. But these gloves aren't that far behind. They are in my personal top 4 list of overall gloves. Best wrist protection I've had. Great cooldown time to absorb sweat. Beautiful weight distribution, right behind winning imo. Only downfall is stitching. The mesh has held up just fine.

Now I don't personally own this glove, but a good friend of mine lets me try his pair on and we have a pair for sparring at the gym. With tender love and care, these gloves last about 2.5 years imo.

Now, they aren't worth what everlast is asking, $250 I think. They are worth about $160-$180 TOPS. and I wouldn't even pay that. Whenever these gloves go on a good sale, I'll buy myself a pair for sure.
 
I can get two pairs of ring to cage customs for $30.00 more than those. Everlast bleh. I Think they would be good at like 50% off.
 
I agree with everything in the video review.

Very nice gloves. I only had them for a short time, so I can comment on the durability. I got them off Ebay for about $35.00 and sold them for a nice little profit.
 
I love everlast mexican style wraps... They are the only wraps i like.
 
Been using my 20oz Protex3 for a little over a year now and they are still holding up very well! They were my main sparring gloves for quite awhile (about a 4 month period of 4-5 days a week, about 15-20 sparring rounds twice a week) they were my second favorite pair until I got my Boxeo gloves lol.
If I ever see them for a good enough deal I'll definitely spring on another couple pairs for sure. I like my R2C gloves I own but the white pair I have the inner lining started ripping a little bit after a few months buuuuuut I really can't complain because I got them off MMAHQ for next to nothing lol.
 
I got the exactly the same gloves as in the video, i own winning as well and i agree there not far behind as far as comfort goes, really light as well, and well padded. I agree about the stitching but mine are still going strong, a lot of people slag everlast off and they have a right too, most of there stuff is crap!! but they done well with the protex 3 gloves, great gloves.
 
great to hear about other people's experiences and to know that the gloves at the gym aren't a diamond in a pile of ****
 
I actually like those and would get a pair at a discount price. Thanks for posting this.

I wont be getting these gloves for a while now that i placed an order for Winnings, but if a 50% off discount code appears for the holidays, i might just snag a pair. Trust me man, great glove.

In my opinion it is the #1 Most under-rated glove out in the market today. The mesh really helps you dry out the glove faster and it also helps you open up your hand better than most gloves i've tried on. I don't know man, but in my books its one of the very best gloves you could buy.
 
If your going to drop a butt load of money for some gloves, why not just invest in some winnings? What sets these apart?

Well, here's the thing. Everlast and other companies that carry the product like mmahq sell them for like 40%-50% off on special occasions. That's when I'll bite the bullet. At retail I'll never buy a pair, $250 is too expensive.

Winning is my absolute #1 glove. But I would say the protex 3 would definitely be my #2 or #3 spot.
 
It's the same thing for me, if I see Protex3 on sale I'll buy em. If not I'm sticking with Winning or ordering from Juan. I got my Protex3 for like $60 from CSI so they were a great deal, definitely worth twice that amount honestly, if I'm ranking my favorite gloves in order I'm going:
1.Winning
2.Boxeo
3.Protex3

I wasn't there for the sale, but there's a common misconception of the gloves. There's the protex 3's then the protex 3 gels. Both gloves are superb, but the ones I'm talking about are the gels.

I cant see these being Above Bills gloves especially when everlast gel protex 3 or whatever is valued at 229.
 
Well, nothing in the world would force me to buy these gloves for 230.

On the other hand as for Bill's gloves... actually almost all gloves bought from Bill were IMF which imo can hardly compare with a good layered padding, at least on a bag (fine for sparring though). Top gloves should not be IMF.

You can get layered from bill :)

I know I can :) But I haven't heard of anybody who has got it from Bill, so the main comparison is still layered (actually cell + gel) by Evershit vs. IMF by Bill. Until somebody gets layered from Bill. Maybe it will be me :)
 
Dont keep us in suspense man ! How do they compare?!
