Everlast 100-Pound C3 Foam Heavy Bag

I''ve had this bag for a while. I use it at least 3-5 times a week and it still looks almost brand new. I think this is the best 100lb bag I''ve used, even out of the ones at my gym. I was deciding between this one and the 100 lb everlast nevatear, but I always see those duct taped up and with holes in them. I would say spend the extra $25 for this one...much better!

Bought this heavy bag in October of 2010 for the amazing price of eighty dollars! This was without a doubt the most comfortable bag I have ever used. Unfortunately the bag didn''t even last one year. Today while doing my normal routine (half an hour of bag work) the stitching gave out and the bags contents slid right out of the bottom. Really pains me to give this bag a bad review, I loved this thing.

This bag with the improved foam was an inexpensive upgrade and seems to have been a good choice. Amazon Prime''s upgraded shipping made the deal amazingly good and got it here in time for the recipient''s birthday! Not having used a heavy bag before, I foolishly hit it a few times just to try it out and left a fair bit of knuckle skin on the bag. My son kindly pointed out that he wears gloves and that they are a required accessory.

Bottom line I''m very happy with this bag. It looks more durable than similarly priced bags at my local sporting goods store.

I bought this bag to augment my P90X DVD workout. One of the P90X DVDs, (Kenpo), has a punching series. I figured hitting a bag would be more of a workout than shadow boxing it is!! Point is, I''m not a boxer and I don''t train like one. I hit this bag for about 30 min once every couple weeks. At this rate, I think the bag will outlast me. The C3 Foam wrapping really appears to add durability to the bag.

It''s not soft. I started hitting the bag with some 4oz "fighting/wrestling" gloves. I quickly switched to 8 oz gloves, but I was still bruising my knuckles. I finally moved up to 16oz Everlast Elite Protex2 gloves. I found it uncomfortable to hit the bag full force with anything less than the 16oz padded glove.

I used some plate weights, (70lbs), and a bungee cord to make an anchor. The bag does have a tendency to move around. I too have a low ceiling in my basement. I ended up hanging the bag from 5/8" dia. threaded rod placed between some bridging I added between the exposed floor joists in my basement ceiling. Now throwing a punch straight out, I hit the bag I few inches above its center.

This is a fantastic bag for the price. I have no complaints about it.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the foam wrapping results in a small 1 inch or so section of the bag that does not have the foam padding.

So if you are punching the bag and it begins to spin, you will either need to stop it from spinning or ensure that you are only punching in the padded foam sections.

Beyond this minor issue the bag is flawless.
