Here’s what David had to say:

“I’m actually on vacation getting my daily dose of Gear Patrol on the beach. I’m typing you this email from my cabana while trying to keep sand out of my Corona. I look forward the the Hommage Shaving Set, my morning routine will never be the same. It’s time to flip over and burn the other side…”

Last Friday we selected a Gear Patrol Dispatch subscriber as the winner for the Everlast Training Gloves Giveaway. Congratulations B Boyles!

“…I look forward to the daily emails on cool new stuff that I might otherwise find out about way later or not at all.”

———–

As seen on the fists of the very best, and the chins of the second best. If you haven’t noticed Everlast boxing gloves are the hands down favorite of the world’s greatest fighters and after some time with speed bags at the gym we can’t disagree. They are supremely strong and durable and strike a key balance between cushioning and support with impact and speed.

These high performance training gloves use a dense two-layer sandwich foam for better shock absorbency. To accentuate proper punching technique the Everlast gloves fully pads the front and back of the wrists and if you can’t tell they conform to the natural shape of the first for more comfortable training. They’re also available in lace-up style for you traditionalists.

What this means to you: Eye of the Tiger comes to mind but these gloves aren’t just for ambitions of lisp proned boxers. They’re quality and timeless and you’d do yourself a favor to own a pair. Especially if they’re free.

We’ve got a pair of Red Everlast Training Gloves with your name on it. All you need to do to enter is subscribe to the Gear Patrol Dispatch for your chance to win.

You can enter from this page or just use the handy box we have in the upper right corner of this page. We’ll randomly choose a name from anyone (including those already subscribed) signed-up for the GP Dispatch and announce a winner Friday the 29th between 3-3:30pm EST. After all, it is leap year.

Cost: $35 @ Everlast
