Who This Is For

The Everlast Elite 2 is one of the cheapest face-bar options on the market. The lightweight plastic face bar insert provides nose and central face deflection without the weight of premium alloy bar designs like the Fly Superbar. Construction is dual-layer foam with a hard outer shell intended to deflect strikes. Closure is a hybrid system. An adjustable top lace pattern dials in the fit, dual rear hook-and-loop straps with an elastic rear pad keep it locked in place. At $69 this is one of the most accessible ways to get face-bar protection in the category. Hayabusa, Reyes, and Winning all charge multiples of this for similar bar-protected designs.

Who It's Not For

  • Premium feel buyers
  • Fighters wanting maximum field of vision
  • Long-term sparring use (durability is mid)
