Trying to stay more active as a family and it variety to my younger children so that they can make it a part of their every day routines. This is a study bag. It was so heavy, I felt sorry for the delivery driver. We purchased some boxing gloves and practice hitting it (with someone holding it steady) however, I think I was a little impulsive because I need to purchase either a stand or have a professional come and hang it from a break/stud in my garage. I can't wait until I can use this at its full potential. It really helps relieve stress.

My husband has been studying martial arts since he was little - think Karate Kid, old school style training. His mom also is a former boxer, and trained for the Olympics. When he punches, there is a significant amount of force behind it. This punching bag has held up perfectly fine for over a year now with daily use. I would definitely recommend it!

Best Deal On A 80LB Heavy Bag

I've owned this bag for 2 years. My youngest son started martial arts and since he weighs under 140lbs I purchased the Everlast 80Lb never tear. In the past I have owned a leather 100LB Everlast. If you're under 175LBs an 80 pound heavy bag is better for most than a 100 LB. All in all the synthetic bag and the filling has more than exceeded my expectations.

Broken/ perished strap after 12 months

My boys love this bag. Very heavy and not much swing when punching or kicking. Unfortunately after just 12 months the canvas strap that holds the bag up at the top tore. Shortly after, the second strap tore from bearing the weight. We now have a very heavy boxing bag laying on our outdoor couch that is not useable. If I purchase again, I will look for better stitching at the top strap areas

Great workout

I am loving this bag. The quality is great. It is very well made, durable and has held up well to daily use. The weight is also great and perfect for beginners or the more advanced. I am a beginner again, and this bag has worked extremely well for me. I also really appreciate that it comes with the hardware to install.

Misleading picture!!! No stand included.

I bought this for my son who wanted a punching bag for his birthday or Christmas (both in December). We specifically picked this one as I thought it came with the stand. Silly me for not reading the details, but when you look at every other picture of other punching bags, you see just a picture of the bag. So why does this have a picture WITH the stand as the default picture. 2 days before his birthday and I will go ahead and say this, I would have not paid that much for this. The whole purpose of spending this much was because I thought the stand was included and I wanted to be able to move the punching bag to different places if need be. For example, outside, inside, grandmas. Etc. Why would they advertise this specific bag with the stand only to not include the ... MoreI bought this for my son who wanted a punching bag for his birthday or Christmas (both in December).

Yes I should’ve read it, and I normally always would, but again..... when I’m looking at all the heavy punching bags on the academy web site this is the only one shown on a stand. If it’s just a bag then advertise that just as all the others. Don’t get me wrong, this is I’m sure a nice quality punching bag. I will probably return it though. I would have bought the stand before had I known then and I would have picked a different, much lighter bag. Sucks because adcademy is almost 2 hours away so not a simple return plus too heavy. I overnighted this on a Friday, and got it on Wednesday. That’s 2 business days... not overnight shipping.

Not bad for home workout

Bought this about a month ago. Use it for heavy bag cardio workout at home. I am 5 feet 10 inches and weight 165 lbs. I bought the 70 lbs since my research recommend that I start there. I am a beginner level and only started getting into boxing for alternative cardio workout since my injuries kept me from running again. So far the bag is okay. It comes with a foot long chain, three carabiners, and double swivel loops. I hung the bag from a hook screwed into my 8 feet high ceiling joist and the bag would be about 1.5 feet off the ground. Depending on how hard you hit, it will swing approximately 3-4 feet radius so make sure you have space around the bag or buy the bag anchor to hold in place. So far it is holding up okay. Overall 4 stars because there are other bags ... MoreBought this about a month ago. Use it for heavy bag cardio workout at home. I am 5 feet 10 inches and weight 165 lbs.

Not too durable for outdoor use

Having spent years in Thailand training in Muay Thai, and predominantly training outside, this bag lasted barely six months before the nylon strapping disintegrated. Granted, exposure to the sun would hasten this, and, then again, in Thailand, we use bags with chains instead of nylon strapping. Also, as mentioned by others, the hardware, though adequate, appears to be a bit weak for this weight and use. Could not give a longer term observation of durability because of its deconstruction. A more conventional construction with chains and without the strapping would no doubt yield a much better product.

Quality bag and great service

Purchased the Everlast boxing bag as a gift for christmas, after not being able to find the combo deal anywhere. I rang the store at Tweed Heads and they were very helpful confirming they had stock, giving me details about the bag and directing me to click and collect. The Everlast Nevatear bag is ideal for my son, who is just taking up boxing. It is ideal in firmess, quality made and great length for his purposes

Would Recommend

I was hesitant to purchase this item as there was a few reviews mentioning bad things about the delivery company, XPD. I cannot speak for others experience but here is what I have to say - I purchased this item on 08/10/21 and received it on 12/08/21, the item has nothing wrong with it and seems absolutely fine. Therefore, I am happy with the purchase and to anyone unsure of weather to go for it because of the bad XPD reviews all I can say is for me it was fine, no issues, I live in Glasgow, maybe this is a factor... Used this product extensively today and everything seems solid and fine, maybe with time things will deteriorate but as of now everything is fine. Potentially worth noting that this product comes with the chain and clips etc. shown in the picture, and ... MoreI was hesitant to purchase this item as there was a few reviews mentioning bad things about the delivery company, XPD.
