Everlast 4008 80-Pound Traditional Heavy Bag

I too recieved this bag in a box semi-beaten up, but then again an 80 pound item in a lightweight cardboard box is bound to cause a little box damage. And no there was no interior protective bag, and my chain pack was tied with pink ribbon.

Now to the bag itself... The toughest, most well filled, and economical bags I have ever seen. I use light bag gloves and with the amount of filling and it''s density I can punch for hours (If I had the stamina :) ), without getting the sore knuckles or the wrist pain that I used to get from denser packed bags. Plus it''s an Everlast!!! This is a must buy for anyone who is looking for a heavy bag. Good luck and TRAIN HARD!!!

This is an excellent bag for anyone regardless of rather you are training for boxing, martial arts, or just want to punch and kick something and will take whatever you can give it. I''ve tried a couple bags and this one was by far the best in the 80lb range. Another review mentioned a couple of "problems" that they felt were signs of a return, but are not. This bag does not ship with a plastic covering, the zipper top is intentially missing and Everlast includes a sheet explaining why (unzipping it voids the warrenty), and all the hanging chains do come wrapped in a pink ribbon. Most of the reviews comments are just how Everlast packs every bag. Mine arrived with with well done packing tape in a box that was a little beaten from shipping, but the contents were not harmed or dusty. I train mostly bar hand, so my only complaint is that the Everlast logo stitched on to both sides of the bag can do some extra damage to your knuckles, but if you are using wraps and bag gloves than it is not a problem. Regardless, the quality of the bag and the beating it takes, compared to many other bags on the market, makes up for the stitching on the logo.

I am currently not impressed at all with Everlast''s lower end heavy bags. I owned a canvas one years ago and ripped it in two days. Anyhow I got this bag from Dunham''s because I needed something cheap and rugged to train in. It was not a good choice. First of all the bag is not filled evenly so after a while all the filler sinks to the bottom. This is a problem because you are basically punching "Nevateer" and air which gives no resistance at all. I might as well be shadow boxing. I purchased a TKO heavy bag years ago for the same price and it was the best filled heavy bag I have EVER owned. I have a combat sports int. Thai bag and it does not have the filling consistency that my TKO did(may it rest in peace). Finally, Everlast apparently does not like to take the time to properly fill their bags because upon re stuffing the bag, I found four sand bags mixed in with the cloth filler. That really pissed me off. If you can''t even get enough cloth into the thing to get it to weigh 80 lbs. then maybe you should reevaluate how you make your bags. Plus when I hit a heavy bag I DO NOT want to wonder which hit will yield the pain of connecting with a sand bag. It is really quite dangerous to have sand bags in a heavy bag like that. Sand filled heavy bags are fine for some athletes, but most people know when there is sand in their bag. However when I have what is supposed to be a cloth filling bag, I should not worry about breaking my wrists, shins, feet and god knows what else. I returned the bag the SAME day I got it. PLEASE spend about 30 dollars more and buy a TKO, Ringside, Title, Combat Sports, or a HIGHER end everlast bag. I won''t even comment upon the over all craftsmanship of the bag.

I ordered this 4008 80lb. Everlast bag that suppose to have chains on it instead of stitched nylon straps. What I ordered and wanted is what shows in the picture but that''s not what I got. The traditional Everlast logo is different and I got nylon straps instead of chains from the bag to the chain hanger that is included. I am not very happy with this bag because it''s not what shows in the picture. If you are concerned about the Everlast traditional logo and chains for the bag then don''t order this bag because you won''t get those two things. Other then that the bag is O.K. I can return it but what a hassle it would be to return an 80lb. bag. Amazon shouldn''t deceive customers with inaccurate pictures of the product or at least inform the customer if the product has changed or just put the correct picture up.

I''ve done some amateur boxing way back in my late teens and early twenties. I have punched a lot of bags in those years, I''ll say that this product is of excellent quality and will last longer now that I''m a bit older and don''t have that pack of punch anymore.
