Hello Everybody,
First I would like to introduce myself. I'm new on the forum, I'm 34, male, married, living in Guadeloupe, a French Caribbean Island. I begin to do boxing since 1 year in order to keep myself in good health. I practice in my garage 2 hours/day doing some musculation, speedbag, double end bag, heavy bag and shadow. 10 years I haven't do any sport so it was time for me to do something, I choose boxing because it was the only activity I loved and that I could do at home. My favourites boxers are : Ali ( of course ), Holyfield and De La Hoya. I appreciate a lot Fedor Emelianenko ( mma ) and Le Banner ( K1 ). My favourite Singer is and will stay for ever Jimi Hendrix.
I would like to congratulate Alan Kahn for all his work, he is an example for all of us . Great job Alan !
When I started boxing one year ago, I bought some Everlast products on a french website ( boxing glove and bag glove ). For me boxing and Everlast are indissociable, Everlast is a legend trade. I was very surprised when I received the products. Medium leather quality, bad finition, with the mention " made in pakistan ". I had a debate with a vendor about that, he told me that the Everlast products sold in Europe are different from USA. Everlast has sold his trademark in Europe to an European Company. So the European Everlast products are not the same and not made with the same material. Disappointed I decided to buy some Everlast products on the us website : http://store.everlastboxing.com/ . At this time, I bought some gloves http://store.everlastboxing.com/ever...ng-gloves.html and http://store.everlastboxing.com/ever...ag-gloves.html and some speedbag : http://store.everlastboxing.com/ever...speed-bag.html and http://store.everlastboxing.com/ever...peed-bags.html ( the yellow/black in 9*6 , the red/black in 6*4 and the red in 8*6 ). All I can say is that the quality is better on US products than European products. However, when I look my 9*6 speed bag ( Yellow/black : http://store.everlastboxing.com/ever...peed-bags.html ) I can't say that the product is top quality, the bag is good, fast, supple but the leather quality is poor, specialy on the yellow side ( crackle ! ). For the all red and the red/black the quality is better but not the best leather quality you can hope. Besides it doesn't smell leather at all. The high performance speed bag : http://store.everlastboxing.com/ever...speed-bag.html have the worst leather quality I never seen, it looks like plastic, the speed bag is soft to use with strange rebounce. All these bags are made in China.
Before the Everlast Products were made in the USA, now, for some economics reasons, they are made in China. So here is my question, since how many times the Everlast Products are not made in USA ? Is the quality was better before , when they were made in the USA or equal at now ? What do you prefere to use, older speed bag ( made in USA ) or newest ( made in China ) ?
Thanks for your answers and sorry for " my poor english "
