It's a heavy bag filled with heavy mystery stuff. How can you go wrong.

The bag I received has four metal attachments for chains, rather than nylon straps. Chains were included and I actually prefer this arrangement; still I could see how someone planning on hanging the thing a certain way might be a mite upset.

This bag is far more dense at the bottom than top, so settling of the mystery stuff can be a problem. I noticed when, after beating at face level for a while, I decided a low punch. Several uncomfortable moments resulted.

This is a nice bag, it arrived in 2 business days and in good shape. The bag has a good feel, and the nevatear fabric seems like it will hold up well. All in all, I would give it five stars if it were the same bag that was described in Amazon's add. However, it is not. The bag I received is not double ended and it does not have nylon straps at the top as you see in the picture. It's still the most economical buy in heavy bags on Amazon, but I probably would have ordered a different bag had I known that I was getting a standard bag with chains on top and no bottom tie down provision.

For it's price I'm surprised that this bag has last so well. I purchased it approximately a month ago and have used it nearly everyday. I used to for both boxing practice and lower it to practice some muay thai kicks.

Pros - all in all an excellent bag, I doubt it will open or tear anytime soon. If it does just take out the duct taoe.

Cons - Rock solid at the bottom, fluffy and soft at the top. I added a 10 lb plate to make it heavier at the top and placed my own stuffing (from a pillow) and placed it in the bag. If you purchase this, I do reccomend adding some rags inside and be careful if your going to make power punches to the bottom of the bag, that were all the sand accumulates and it feeles hard a rock so use hand wraps and gloves if possible.

Amazon is the best, I buy stuff from it all the time and I'm always happy with the product I recieve. They ship fast. I looked around for a while for a heavy bag that was around 70-80 pounds for the best deal and Amazon had it. I will always give 5 stars on price. This is a good heavy bag. It's heavy enough to where it stays put for the most part, and it's not too heavy to where it becomes a workout just moving the bag. I recommend good gloves when using this. Don't go with the cheapest gloves you can find. If your going to spend $70+ on this, you may just as well spend a little bit on a good pair of gloves. Your hands will thank you.

This bag is great! As stated by others, this bag is not exactly as described.. The bag is made of some abrasive material that is very rough on bare skin (bag is pretty bloody after only 1 day..) I would highly recommend getting some hand wraps if your concerned with this. Otherwise, it is exactly what I was looking for, and a great value at $50!

I bought this a "starter" bag for my son and for the price I could not find anything with this weight and brand. It really is a great bag for the price. I also bought the mounting kit with it which was very easy to install. The money we saved on the bag went into buying a better quality pair of gloves for him. No complaints here and if you are looking for a starter bag or on a budget I would recommend this bag.

Great price, but not what's described *at all*

The description:
* Constructed from durable and long-lasting synthetic leather
* Specially blended filler provides resilient shock absorbency
* Double End attachment for greater resistance
* Adjustable chain to accommodate all size of users
* Redesigned with durable and safe webbing system

The reality:
* Constructed from vinyl canvas-like material
* Filler is rags 'n' bags - pretty much what you'll find in any low end bag, so fine
* No double end attachment whatsoever
* Comes with a chain and hooks - I guess it's "adjustable," so fine
* No webbing, but stitched on triangular eyes for the standard s-hook attachment

I bought this for floorbag mobility and GnP stuff, so none of this bothers me at all except the fact that it's canvas. Sliding around on canvas in shorts and short sleeves = carpet burn city. It'll still work, but in retrospect I wish I would have spent a few more dollars for an actual synthetic leather bag.

My son when he would get very angry at anything would hit a wall with his hand (which wasnt often ) So i got him the 80 pd heavy bag to hit on for frustrating times.......He is 6'5" and about 200 lbs... He hits on this bag every other day for about an half hour as part of this heavy weight workout.....He exercises all the time and he put this bag right into his workout sessions.......Very good item......Well done amazon

I've had the bag a couple months and use it almost everyday. The box was pretty beat up when it arrived. I like the durability of the nylon over the fake leather bags. My zipper was broken at the top of the bag though. Something I noticed in the other reviews that happened to me was that stuffing (rags) settles quite a bit. The lower sections can become HARD. I unhook the bag and flip it around and try to the knock the stuffing back up a little. Also, try not to hit the mag without protection for your hands. The nylon can cut them up.

I bought this for my husband and he loves it. It was a very hard bag brand new out of the box, but as my husband has been using it, it has softened up.
