Your ideal bag would probably be 80 lbs, but 100 lb will work fine if you get a good pair of gloves with plenty of padding. Also, our heavybag stands can handle 80 or 100 lb bags so no worries there.

Hi Elle. Are you referring to the chain assembly or an actual mount for you ceiling? The mount itself does not come with the bag, and if you do not have one around the house you'll have to grab one here: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

Gift

My girlfriend wants a punching bag and I'd like to get her one for Christmas, but I am clueless. She wants it for both stress relief and exercise. She is athletic and in great shape, but has never boxed before. Should I get her a standing bag? Or a hanging bag? What size? Permalink

Hi Tan. Sounds like a good gift idea. Here are some things to consider:

Hanging bags and standing bags both have pros and cons. Hanging bags require a specific location to attach it to your ceiling or the purchase of a hanging unit like these here: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html. Hanging bags come with a wider range of weight options, of which the 60-80lb range would be appropriate for your girlfriend's needs. The hanging bag is more solid than a standing bag which means you can develop more striking power into it as well as develop footwork as it swings.

On the other hand, standing bags are extremely mobile and convenient, allowing you to train anywhere. The striking surface itself tends to be a little softer on the hands, making it easier on the knuckles and joints. It doesn't swing like a hanger, so footwork training is a little trickier. Standing bags don't really come in different sizes and weights so you don't have to worry about that.

Hope this helps!

Due to his experience, body size, and level of fitness I think you could go with the 100lb unit. You'll still want to grab a decent pair of gloves, but I suspect that weight will be a good choice. Also, if you don't have a mount for your ceiling you can grab one here - http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

Anything in the 12-16 ounce range would be fine. Less weight means less padding, so the gloves will be less bulky but also less protective.

Hi lag. I think you should go with an 80lb option. With a good pair of gloves, an 80lb bag will be easier on the joints and hands. Since he is going for fitness instead of training for a fight he should consider longevity a top priority.

Well right now an 80lb bag is probably better since you don't have previous experience. However, you are already pretty big and likely to gain both size and muscle mass. I'm going to recommend the 100lb bag, just get good gloves so you don't damage your wrist and hands at first!

Hi I'm 18 years old and I just bought the Nevatear Heavy bag (100 lbs) and am excited to get started with home training. I have been practicing boxing interspersed with Muay Thai for the last couple years.
My question being: I have a large and sturdy tree in my backyard, with fairly horizontal limbs. I am very eager to try to hang the bag from one of the limbs with my Title universal bag hanger. However, I am certain the height of the limb will hold the bag too high in the air with the stock length of the bag chain. Where can I get an extension bag chain, so that the bag is lowered to the perfect height? The extension would only need to be about five or six feet.

Unfortunately we don't have anything like an extension bag chain. I think you'll have to rely on a local hardware store to get a length of chain and carabiner style hook.

Hi Kelly. Quick question - how old/big is your son? 100lb bags can be pretty hefty, so if he isn't used to it he might be better served with an 80lb bag.

In regards to hanging it - the bag comes with chains that allow it to hang from the ceiling. However, you'll need a 'mount' to actually hang it to. If your garage has wooden beams you'll want a mount like this: bx-ac-24. Otherwise you'll want to browse the other options here: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

Hi Sam. First, I would recommend this bag to you: bx-hv-721. It's heavy enough for your husband, but the added layer of foam protection will keep both of your joints safe.

You'll also need something to hang it to your ceiling. Browse here: http://www.boxingdepot.com/punchingbag-wall-mounts.html.

I would also recommend getting some decent gloves, size medium for you and large for your husband: bx-gl-2273.

Between a standing bag and hanging bag I would recommend the hanging bag for you. The reason why is because your husband can take the chains off and practice throws and grappling transitions with it.

As for the bag weight, 100lbs would be suitable for your husband but you personally might find it a bit like hitting a wall. You'd be better suited with a 70lb bag. Ultimately the choice is yours to go with the 100 or perhaps compromise with an 80lb!

Hi Heather. You'd be best set with a 60 or 70lb bag. 60 would give you more swing, while 70 would give more resistance. Those would both require hanging from a ceiling.

For freestanding bags you don't have to worry about weight so much. Something like this will work great: bx-hv-2026.

Hi Jesse. It sounds to me like you could hand either the 80 or 100, so I think you're main consideration will be mobility. The 80lb bag will give you good swing, so you'll get to work on footwork as well when training. The 100lb bag will be more solid for pure kicking power development. Your call!

as for bx-hv-41 - I believe we will be getting more of those in stock in the next month or two.

When it comes to linking, the trick is to surround your sku with this markup: [ sku ] xyz-xyz-21 [ /sku ], just without any spaces.

Due to your experience you would probably be ok either way, but the 60lb bag will give you a little more bag swing. I tend to think that's better for workouts because it involves more footwork and concentration vs striking power in order to stay with the bag.

This bag is awful. I purchased the 100 lb version. Had it only 3 months and the bottom fell out. Right in the middle of a workout the bottom of the bag busted out of the seems and the stuffing starting falling out. Also, "nevetear"? Thats a joke. At the top of the bag where the chains are connected to the bag, the material was tearing away. Eventually the bag would have probably fallen down, leaving the chains hanging from my basement beam. I would not recommend this bag to anyone. Waste of money. Permalink

Hi Hunter. Right now you would probably be best suited with a 50lb bag, but as get older you'll want more resistance. Perhaps something like a 70lb bag would be good. Consider these options: bx-hv-707, bx-hv-380, bx-hv-656.

hello
i'm a beginner and looking to get some heavy bag to mostly let stress out.
I'm 5'7" and about 175 lbs. - I do not have much space except for an outdoor patio (roofed).

which bag would you recommend? i would be needing a stand as well since i've heard that the floor bag stands tend to break. heard as well that some are easy on the hands.

thank you

Hey Frank. Getting a heavy bag is a great way to relieve stress. For your height and weight I would recommend a 70 or 80lb bag. Any more than that and you might end up injuring your joints. This one here is really nice: bx-hv-209.

As for a stand, this one is affordable and high quality: bx-ac-853. If you think your roof can handle the impact and jostling you could drill a mount right into it, like this one: bx-ac-24.

I'd also highly recommend you grab some gloves (your hands and wrists will thank you). Here is a nice inexpensive pair: bx-gl-40, and here is a cool high quality pair: bx-gl-228.

This bag is a fine choice Shaping, and I would recommend the 70lb model. Good resistance and won't feel like a brick wall, hurting your joints.

Hey wako. If I were you I would go with 70/80 lbs. You'll get plenty of resistance, but also a little bit of swing so as to add interest and timing to your training.

Perhaps a few years down the road if you really develop killer striking power you can go up to 100.

Bag Weight

I'm 5 10 and around 165 I have been using the heavy bag at the local gym but it ripped from over use and I am looking to get one for my home. I am not sure what weight to get would a 80 lb bag be good or should I go heavier? Permalink

Considering your body weight and the fact that you have some experience, I would suggest you go with 80lbs. That sounds right on the money to me.

Bag for my husband

My husband and I are trying to find a heavy bag for him. He's 6' 3", 150 lbs. What size bag should he get? Should we get a bag that is already filled, or fill it ourselves?

Also, I am concerned about hanging it from a beam in our basement. Is that putting too much strain on the beam? What kind of mounting bracket would be best?

Thank you! Permalink

Hey KLN. I recommend a 70lb bag. It'll be adequately heavy for your husband and manageable for you as well. Getting the bag filled is much less work, and since we offer $2.95 shipping you'll probably end up paying less money anyway (vs the cost of sand, shredded textile, and time spent).

You'll want to assess of the beam in your basement is attached do a solid part of your house (load bearing type beams). Furthermore, you'll want to make sure it isn't roting as it would then be unable to hold the screws of a mount or tolerate the impact.

For a wood beam, this type of mounting bracket is best - bx-ac-36.

"overseas"?

I live on an Air Force Base in Japan - I know that technically we count as shipping to the US as far as regular mail is concerned; I have a 5-digit zip, etc., but I haven't tried to order anything large or heavy. I've been shopping for a heavy bag and a stand to put in my apartment. Will you ship to me, or am I stuck looking locally? Permalink

Unfortunately there are restrictions when it comes to heavy items like this. I recommend one of two otpions:

1. Grab an unfilled heavy bag case - bx-hv-540. Once you have this you can just secure some shredded textile found locally and stuff it.

2. Check around some local shops. Fighting arts are quite popular in Japan so you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Which bag?

I am looking to get a heavy bag for my house. I'm 130 pounds and 5'6". I teach BodyCombat and am looking for some actual contact at home. However, my better half is 6'0" and 230 and he wants to use the bag too. Is there a way to get one bag that we can both use? We also have four boys ranging in age from 2 to 12, so the older ones may want to hit on the back sometimes. Thanks for your help!! Permalink

Hi Mandi. I think the perfect bag for your needs is this one: tr-bg-07. For your husband, the base and bag are heavy enough to give him real resistance to his training. For you, the bag will be flexible and foam filled so as not to be overwhelming.

For the kids, the striking surface extends near to the floor, and provides a non-damaging striking surface (Softer on the hands than most hanging bags).

100 is going to be a noticeable step up in resistance, but if 70 wasn't cutting it then 80 might not cut it either. Go 100 but be safe and use hand protection!

Type and Weight of Bag

So I've been reading all the reviews and am trying to figure out what type of bag and weight to buy. I am buying for my husband who is very physically fit. However, I want my daughter and myself to be able to use it too for kickboxing and strength training. Want one that isn't too hard when striking, but that is durable as well. Is this a good one and what weight would you recommend? Am looking at this one in the 100lb but didn't know if I should go with one more around 80lb? Thanks! Permalink

Hi Kyle. Shipping to Seattle will be no problem, you can order without worry.

As for the bag weight, that depends on your body weight and experience. Since you're 15 I would recommend going a bit lighter with the 80, however if you are a particularly big 15 year old (6 foot, 160 pounds) then go with the 100.

Hi denise. s far as I have been able to tell there is minimal difference in performance. The cloth tends to make a little less noise (as the chain is prone to rattling).

I also haven't noticed any difference in longevity, except that the chain is a bit easier to replace.

Bag hardening at the bottom?

Most bags that you buy in your local sports store are filled with multiple small bags of sand. Eventually the sand sinks to the bottom of the bag, causing the bottom half of the bag to get REALLY hard.

Does this bag settle and harden at the bottom?

Thanks.

Although generally this bag gets top-notch reviews, some users have said the filling does sink a bit after awhile. This doesn't make the bag unusable by any stretch, but since you are trying to avoid any sinking be aware that this bag is not immune.
