FAQs
Are these gloves suitable for professional sparring?
While these gloves offer good protection, they are best suited for intermediate training and fitness. For professional sparring, it is recommended to use gloves specifically designed and approved for that purpose, often with thicker padding and a closed-fist design.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
The gloves should fit snugly on your hands without being overly tight. Your fingers should reach the end of the finger stalls comfortably, and the wrist strap should provide firm support. Try them on if possible, or consult the brand's sizing chart.
Can I use these for heavy bag workouts?
Yes, these gloves are suitable for heavy bag workouts. The injection moulded foam padding provides ample protection for your knuckles and hands during repetitive striking.
What is the main advantage of the open-hand design?
The open-hand design allows for greater dexterity and quick transitions between striking, grappling, clinch work, and other movements without needing to remove the gloves.
How often should I clean my gloves?
It is recommended to wipe down the gloves after each use and allow them to air dry thoroughly. Deep cleaning should be done periodically as needed, following the care instructions.
What is the warranty period for these gloves?
Please refer to the retailer or Everlast's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Can these gloves be used for general fitness training or just combat sports?
These gloves are versatile and can be used for general fitness training, including cardio kickboxing, circuit training, and any workout that involves striking motions, as well as specialized combat sports training.
Troubleshooting
Gloves feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the hook-and-loop strap. Ensure it's snug for support but not so tight it cuts off circulation. If the size is fundamentally incorrect, consider a different size.
Wrist feels unsupported during heavy impact.
Ensure the hook-and-loop strap is wrapped securely around the wrist and forearm. If the issue persists, the glove may not be providing adequate support for the intensity of your training.
Excessive sweat inside the gloves.
Allow gloves to fully air dry after each session. Consider using hand wraps during training to absorb sweat and improve fit. Use glove deodorizers or dry cleaning packs.
Padding feels insufficient for intense striking.
These gloves are designed for intermediate training. If you are engaging in high-intensity striking or require maximum protection, consider gloves with specialized padding or for professional use.

- Air Dry: Allow the gloves to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

- Storage: Store in an open environment, not tightly packed in a gym bag, to promote airflow and prevent moisture buildup.
