Dont buy everlast gloves because everlast=neverlast. All of the equipment I have bought from them has torn or got damaged very easily. I finally wised up and quit buying all their equipment. I just highly dont recommend everlast because of my experience with them. But its great that you want to start boxing, it is a great sport and most of all, a great art. And trust me, once you get in and start, you will get hooked. Once you step in that ring for the first time and all that adrenaline is running, its just straight up addicting. You are sure to love it.
