Lonsdale Heavy Punchbag

Advantages: great bag
Disadvantages: none

...I brought this punch bag from littlewoods catalogue 4 years ago for £79, i chose this one as it is a heavy duty bag and weighs in at about 7 stone, i didnt see the point of buying a light bag that would fly everywhere when i hit it so this was a great choice for me, i also chose to get it from the catalogue as i didnt fancy carrying it home myself. The quality of this bag is great, the leather is very soft so it doesnt hurt your hands but is very tough as mine is still perfect after 4 years of abuse. This bag has hooks on the top to hang it up and comes complete with hanging bracket and gloves. The inside of the bag looks like loads of thin strands of string and straw, it has a zip on the top so you can refill it if you need to but i havent had to yet. The bag is long so is ideal for boxing or kick boxing as it is long enough... Read review

...I will start with admitting I do not personally own one of these punchbags so this might not be a greatly accurate review however the boxing gym I attend twice a week has a great variety of them and they are, without a doubt, the best kind. The leather cover on the punchbag means that it is soft to the touch so you will not get badly swolen knuckles or split knuckle skin as some people get from lower quality punchbags. The leather cover also means that it is very durable and will happily endure a savage beating from you without splitting and covering you with stuffing. If the punchbag does happen to split, because it is covered with leather you can stitch it up to be as good as new. Punchbags are a good way to build your biceps and triceps up, great cardiac excercise and a brilliant stress releiver also. If you are into boxing... Read review
