Renown internationally as a manufacturer of boxing equipment, Everlast started out as a swimwear manufacturer in 1910. Headquartered in the Bronx, NY, the company was founded by 17-year-old Jacob Golomb. The son of a tailor and an avid swimmer, Jacob Golomb was dissatisfied with the durability of swimsuits because they barely lasted a season, so he began making suits that he guaranteed would last for a full year. He proudly gave them the name, Everlast. Although the swimsuits did not last through the years, the name did. Over the next years, Golomb expanded his company into a small retail store that carried a full line of sports equipment. In 1917, a young fighter named Jack Dempsey introduced boxing to Golomb and Everlast. Dempsey asked Golomb to construct protective headgear that would last more than 15 rounds of intensive boxing training. Golomb specially designed the training gear for Dempsey. In 1919, Dempsey won the world's heavyweight championship wearing boxing gloves made for him by Golomb. Everlast became the headquarters for boxing equipment throughout the world. In 1925, Golomb designed elastic-waist trunks to replace the leather-belted trunks then worn by boxers. These trunks, now known as boxer trunks, immediately became famous. Jacob Golomb ran the business until he passed away in the early 1950's and his son, Dan, took over. In 1958, Ben Nadorf joined Everlast and purchased 50% of the company from the Golomb family. When Dan Golomb passed away in 1995, Nadorf purchased the family's remaining 50% interest. Nadorf remained the President and Principle Share Holder of Everlast until October 24, 2000. Everlast men's and women's apparel and accessories continue today to be tremendously successful both inside and outside the ring. In addition, Everlast boxing trunks and equipment remain the proud and undefeated champion of the boxing industry for more than 90 years. The history continues, as the name states. Everlast has a traditional past and a knockout future. What's in the Box?

 Rating:  - Listen to the other reviewers, DO NOT BUYFirst off, let me say that I'm 6' 4 and weigh 300 lbs. By no means a light weight, but also not a trained fighter. But size may have some bearing. If you're a little girl you may have fun slapping this bag and giggling. I filled it with water at first, which does not work. The base is NOT water tight, so when the thing rocks around (and it will) you get water on your floor. Some people might not mind chasing the thing around the room while hitting it, but most of us get this thing because space is ...

I was actually inspired to start heavy bag training after watching a Mike Tyson documentary, but I digress. The bag assembly was slightly confusing as the parts for the bag itself seemed ill-fitting despite the simple directions. Once together I filled the base with water and finished the assembly. In hindsight I would've used sand or dirt instead of water. During the months of abuse I unleashed on the bag the constant splashing of water inside ... Read More Rating: - Cheap Plastic?I've had this product for about 2 hours. Half of that time was spent assembling it and within the second hour, I'd already broken it. I am 125 pounds and I snapped the plastic right in half. Maybe I got unlucky with this one and the standard stand is sturdier. At the same time, I don't expect to break something that should be able to stand up to someone who weighs twice as much as I do. I'll admit that it was fun while it lasted, but people shouldn't have to spend 100+ dollars on something ... Read More Rating: - Do not waste your money!Over the past 4 months I have owned two of these and both broke the same way. The plastic that the base is made out of is so weak that anyone over 10 years old punching will cause the screw piece to snap! Look to another brand when it comes to freestanding bags Rating: - UnsatisfactoryI'm 5'10", 185 lbs. My very first time using it, I got all of a 3 minute workout in before the stem sheared off of the base, leaving the threaded portion nice and stuck in the base itself. The bag flew right across the room and into my laptop.... Luckily the bag itself isn't terribly heavy and my laptap was undamaged. But seriously, what kind of heavy bag system can't take a heavy hit? On top of that, it took quite a bit of time and elbow grease to force this thing together. Apparently the pieces ... Read More
