I purchased 2 of these items for my son for his birthday(along with the rocky inflatable boxing bag too). This was an excellent investment! He immediately took to wanting to box with his sister, and then the neighbor boy too. All 3 of the children took their time rotating the 2 sets of gloves around so they would all get time to play, and no one got hurt from them. The children had an incredibly fun time with this. The only thing is, if you use an electronic pump then the bag and the gloves have a tendency to deflate a bit...but once i refilled them all with out the pump(by blowing them up myself) they stayed inflated for weeks until i decided to deflate them myself to put them a way for a bit. Overall, I'd say this is an awesome gift for any one who has children that doesn't shy away from play boxing.

About Everlast The name Everlast is synonymous with boxing. 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.

I just recieved my bag today. After spending about an hour and a half carefully filling it up with rag stuffing salvaged from other old bags I got in about a 10 minute workout before the zipper on the top failed and stuffing started to pop out. I hadn't overfilled the bag either, it was still a little loose towards the top. I'm going to stich the zipper shut and keep using it, but I imagine something else will break or tear soon do to the shoddy material and stiching. I would definitely not buy this again after using it, and I plan on replacing it with something from a different company when it inevitably falls apart.
