5 comments about Everlast Double Mouthpiece.
- I bought this thinking I could cut it down and that it would fit my 6 year old son. It does not fit even with cutting it like the instructions say. You're going to have to look for a specific "childrens" mouth guard. I'm looking into the Shock Doctor line of guards.
- It is made for a small mouth (or maybe my husband just has a big mouth)as far as the area around the teeth but you would need a wide mouth for the area between the teeth. I hope that isn't too confusing. It just didn't fit very well or comfortably but others may find it suitable.
- I have used this for martial arts sparing and the hole in the center makes it easy for breathing with the mouth piece in. It protects upper and lower well.
- I lost my last mouthpiece. It was a single layer, and I have seen a lot of people with double layers, so I went out and bought both a Century single layer, and this Everlast double (only double in the store).
Let me tell you, this thing is terrible. I spent around an hour trying to shape this thing, but it's just impossible. The distance between the front row and the back (where your teeth go) is wayyy too big. There's no way to form to both sides of your teeth... unless you have molars for your front teeth. This makes it impossible to make a solid fit, so unless you're always chomping down on it, it's going to fall out during sparring.
And yes, I did push with my tongue during forming (tried numerous times), but it's just too wide.
If that wasn't bad enough, there's not enough plastic to run all the way to your gums. This also means this thing is going to fall out the second you stop biting down. It also means it's poor protection.
The only thing they did right was the hole where you're suppose to breath through. Seems adequate.
So to wrap it up, this piece of junk is completely useless. Even if your mouth is small, this still wont work because there's no way to get it form to both side of your teeth.
At least I have that Century single layer one. That works fine.
- do you know teeth are very important, what would happen if they got knocked out......well i for one don't want to find out so i bought this little mouthpiece, and i must say it doing it's job quite well!!!

5 comments about Everlast 4007 Traditional Heavy Bag (70 lb.).
- This thing is great, be sure to get some heavy bag training gloves with it. I'm able to punch as hard as I possibly can without killing my hands so it does its job :) Although kicking is another story, its much harder towards the bottom and my foot regrets that haha
- I bought this bag for my daughter (age 9) and I. It's great because we get a great workout while having fun. We both love it and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
- The punching bag arrived very promptly, and was in good condition. The cardboard box was a bit beat up, but that's to be expected for such a heavy package. The bag is great for helping with stress, and seems to hold up well. Overall, this was a good buy.
- This is a good practice bag. The quality is fine, it seems to be evenly packed, and the fit'n'finish is acceptable.
Unfortunately, Amazon's price is a bit steep. They claim to offer "free" shipping, but the shipping costs are obviously hidden in the price. You can get this same bag, along with padded bag gloves, hand wraps, and Everlast's mounting kit, for less $$$ at Walm@rt. Plus, you won't have to wait a week or more for FedEx to deliver it.
In recent years, Everlast products have earned a reputation for shoddy quality. If you check my other reviews, you'll see where I gave another Everlast product a bad review. However, this bag is top quality. The only thing that could make it better is if it was made from leather, but that's not a problem, unless you want to kick it while wearing shoes.
Summary: good quality, bad price.
- Item arrived with the hanging chain set missing. Amazon customer service solved the problem for me. Excellent item...and major stress reliever!!

5 comments about Desk Mounted Punching Bag.
- does not stick at all fun to punch when i clamp it to my desk
- The product did not stick to the table, fell of the edge and broke. I will return the product to get something different.
- Plain and simple, the suction cup does not stay stuck to ANY surface. You punch it once and it sways once and falls off right off of what ever surface you tried to stick it on. Horrible product because you can not punch it more than once.
- I think it would be common sense for Everlast to test this product before releasing it. It is a cool novelty item I guess but if you give it a light punch or two it flips right over. It has absolutely no suction on it no matter the surface. So as you now see what everyone has been complaining about just don't even bother wasting your time on this unless you plan on gluing it to your desk.
- Wont stay put when you punch it. My two year old knocked it off my desk top. I was very disappointed. Dont waste your money. Wish that I could give it zero stars

3 comments about Valeo GLBM Leather Bag Gloves with Wrist Wraps.
- These are ok for the speedbag, worthless for the heavy bag. Quality was fair - already had a stitch coming loss by the thumbs after one use.
- I'm just punching my heavy bag as a from of excercise, thus I'm no expert of gloves but these do the job fine for me. The wrap around my wrist is comfortable and solid, the padding is good and the feel is comfortable. There's a small hard tube that is in the inner palm (no option to take it out) that I wish it was just a bit smaller. Otherwise, great product for the price. I look around everywhere and these were the cheapest yet best quality I could find.
- i was sent one used and one new glove so i returned them. they are not as heavy duty as the others out there.

1 comments about Adidas SM II Shoe White Black.
- I just got this shoes ($45 shipped)to replace my cheap TKD shoes that got worn out in 2 months of practice. I haven't tried more expensive Adidas TKD shoes, but this one does it for me. It's very light and comfortable. One strange thing was that I could not find any information about this shoes nor other Adidas TKD shoes on Adidas web site. It turned out that this particular shoes is made by some Korean company. I don't know how long it will last, but no complains so far.

4 comments about Everlast 4214 Leather Speed Bag (10"x7").
- Wore out one of the cheapo bags in about three months. This one has gotten heavy use for six months and is still like new. Holds proper psi for months at a time. Shape is perfect, well balanced, seams are easy on the hands.
- I felt the need for speed! This bag is an excellent general purpose bag for the whole family or group. The size, feel, and response is right in the middle of the "zone". Great for beginners and fast enough for the pro. Make sure you grab the pro swivel for proper bag movement. I've been using much more frequently than my old bag because the experience is sooo much better. Enjoy!
- This was a gift for my son and he really liked it. It seemed very well made and of good quality.
- it even came in a bag...i was most impressed. Enough said ....I love products from everlast...they have never disappointed.

5 comments about Everlast Family Training Set.
- Everlast family training set is so usefull.But there is sth which i dont like. the boxing gloves are so small. anyway I like it
- I bought this for my daughter. It is easy to use. this is a must have in a kid-friends gym.
- My kids got this for x-mas now when every they feel the need to "punch it out" they pick these up and they end up giving each other new striking moves its great
- My 6 year old wrestles and boxes with his dad and now he always says "wait, I have to get my battling gloves on!" and runs for this set, he just loves it! I got his dad a set and they thoroughly enjoy themselves! A great deal!
- My kids love the gloves, but the mitts are uncomfortable to wear. The finger dividers on the mitts press down between your fingers. I can't wear the mitts too long at a time.

5 comments about Everlast Personal Round Timer.
- Poorly assembled, the one I purchased did not work. I exchanged it and the second worked for several workouts, then stopped working. I exchanged that one, and the third works when I can get a battery to stay in it. The battery does not fit properly, and will often pop out, knocking the battery cover loose in the process.
When it actually works, it is marginally useful.
- its great. its loud, its not heavy and bulky. still havent figured out y it rings so much when its on vibrate, but o well. it gets the job done
- The thing never worked, right out of the package. It counts down alright, but the buzzer and vibrator do not work at all. Junk, dont waste your money.
- This is a basic yet functional timer.
PROS
*Flick of a switch for 2 or 3min rounds and 30 to 1 min rests. Really quick and simple way of setting number of rounds and duration
*Has a warning bell before the end of the round.
*I'd stay its pretty sturdy as i've dropped it a few times/stored it in the bottom of my bag and after 6 months of abuse and mishandling it's still ringing. Battery life seems good as well.
CONS
*The bell is pretty loud but is often drowned out by background noise during heavy work outs (ie blaring music, people screaming-haha) so for personal use you have to clip it on ur person with vibrate mode. Sadly the clip becomes easily dislodged and the arm strap gets in the way. This is no design fault just basic practicality. Not really a con as such but worth a mention.
All in all its a good, basic, portable backup timer that's easy and fast to use and is decent value for money.
- As soon as I received my Timer and began checking it out, I realized right away just how poorly this thing was made. The "Rest" feature, the setting to determine how long you have to rest between rounds, has two options, 30 or 60 seconds. Mine only allows 60 seconds, regardless of which position the setting is actually on.
I truly expected much better from Everlast. I've been kickboxing for years and I have many of their products with nothing bad to say about anything else they've put their name on.
For someone who does most of his workouts at home on my own heavy and speed bags & jump rope, etc, this timer is all I thought I would need.
Very disappointed.

- these gloves are pretty good gloves, if you're wanting to get started in boxing or working out with heavy bags this is the way to go. they are very traditional yet slip on design.
- Just recently got them and they got here very fast. So far they seem to work very well. They can be a bit hard to get on if you are wearing hand wraps as well, but if someone else helps you put them on it works, and that is of no fault of the gloves.
