Durable Black Canvas Punching Bag with Chains by Life Gears - Perfect for Boxing and Martial Arts Training

Albert R.: Great bag for beginners or intermediate level boxers or mixed martial arts... stuffed mine with old clothes had stacked up in the closets Plus went to my local Goodwill and ask them if they had any items that they were throwing away because they were too damaged to sell and fill the rest of my bag with it plus a small bag of sand in a bag in the middle... mine weighs about 45 to 50 lb.. as you can read with other reviews the bag is prone to tearing on the outside right where the three straps connect but it is reinforced on the canvas side inside the bag... to prevent the tearing I have found that if you take the bag down when you're not using it it will last a lot longer and any more than about 50 lb you're really increasing the tearing rate... I use mine roughly 2 to 4 times a week average workout 30 minutes and I go hard and I have used it for about two and a half months I think and it's still hanging strong... yes it is torn on the outside where the straps connect but like I said it is reinforced on the second layer where it's attached to the canvas... for the price you can't beat it... but actually you can beat it LOL

Christine C: Perfect. We filled it tightly with socks and it's working great. I was surprised at how nice it is for the $$ I paid. Very pleased. Our girls use it for their self defense class.

K_DogK_Dog: I have purchased three of these bags over the past four years. I fill mine mostly with old shirts and rags. This bag lasts about a year and then it rips apart where the chains attach to the bag. For the expense this seems like an OK compromise. I live in the SoCal desert and this bag gets plenty of heat and sun but not too much rain. Good while it lasts.

CaseyCasey: I wanted to love it, perfect price for a first timer, I loved the old school canvas look.
I researched long and hard on how and with what to fill it with. I settled on the following recipe.
- 1 bag length section of carpet rolled in the inside, softside against the canvas. This kept the bag open and gave a more solid, non lumpy, striking surface.
- 1st layer on the bottom, shredded, wadded t-shirts, about 2 inches worth.
- 10 lbs of peagravel in a garbage bag.
- 5-6 inches of shredded, wadded cloth
- 10 more lbs of peagravel in a garbage bag
- 2 queen sized pillows mashed all down and compressed by another
- 10 lbs of pea gravel in a garbage bag
-topped with a few old blankets and zipped.
All was compressed as filled with a giant ole 2x4 mashing stick. Bag was lifted and dropped a few times to make sure things settled and no odd lumps.

I'm guessing total weight was maybe 60 lbs, with the chains attached. It was tough, but I was able to lift it up a ladder with one hand, so it couldn't have been too heavy.

First session, man I felt like Rocky Balboa, jabbing here cross there, a few uppercuts, it was nice, the "middle" was softer because...

GTV4318: I purchased this bag because the 70lb heavy bag I had was too heavy for where I mounted it. So I wanted to be able to control the weight. I lined it with an old yoga mat so it would not be lumpy then filled it up with leftover carpet padding. In the end it weighs 25lbs so it is super lightweight. Yet despite its light weight it is coming apart already after one 10 min use. So maybe 100 hits ... And I am no Tyson either. I had high hopes but ultimately letdown.

Pros:
Bag looks good
Canvas appears to be solid material
Chains appear well made
Good price

Cons
Stitching started coming apart after one use on every side.
