Ringside Powerhide Heavy Bag - Unfilled 14" x 42"

"Powerhide" according to Ringside is made from an outer layer of PVC adhered to canvas.NOTE ONE DESIGN PROBLEM: If you hang from ceiling, you can adjust height to suit yourself depending on ceiling height -- high ceiling may need more longer chain. When I ordered this bag it came with hanging chain and swivel, which is great. But the chain is way too long if you intend to mount it on an Everlast bag stand - unless you are four feet tall. The chain is welded which is good if the length is right but if length is off you have to ditch it. I hung mine using rock climbing closed end loop slings and a caribiner + swivel, they are quiet, stronger than chain, and inexpensive while rated 27KN which safely supports thousands of pounds.I had a Ringside Powerhide 65 pound bag for 15 years, outdoors in harsh mountain weather year-round. I average 200 punches per minute in sets of two minutes plus one minute rest for a total of 30 minutes, 3-4 days a week. The bag still performs as if it were basically new. I gave it to a friend and ordered this empty one because I want to fill it with a stuffing mix containing a thick layer of memory foam against the outer surface.Shots can tend to glace off of a PVC surface since it is slick, esp. if it is stuffed really tight and hard. A layer of material like memory foam that has some give to it allows shots to land and stick with more focused power, hence less chance of wrist injury from a glancing shot and also less shock on your joints.I definitely don't recommend paying hundreds of dollars for a prefilled bag (manufacturers typically use shredded textiles plus sand or sawdust) when you can fill it yourself. If you don't know how there are videos online.

I ordered this bag based on other reviews. I had never punched or kicked a durahide bag but after researching it on the interwebs it seemed like a solid choice. I have it stuffed now with a ton of rags and old t-shirts. It is getting more compact as I beat it. I keep feeding it and pressing it down with a weight on top. So far this has been a great addition to my garage gym.

Extremely well made and built to last. Easy to stuff and has a great instructional video on YouTube.

Good bag I filled it to 175lbs even though it’s only for 100lbs I believe it’s holding up good just the seems do stretch a bit but no rips at all have had it over 6 months great bag easy to fill good buy

The DEA will never think to look inside of this!!!! 🤣🤣🤣First attempt at filling a heavy bag went pretty well. Used the guts from the old 1980s bag I use to have (it smelled fabulous). Did some interwebs learning and took the advice of making caps for each end to hold the form (guy used cardboard, I used foam board). Add some shedded cotton, tamp it down with a baseball bat, add a sandbag then tamp cotton around it. Weighed in at 87lbs. Close enough! Saves a lot of money on shipping over ordering prefilled.

Did not come with chains and swivel, requested refund.

It is very well made and is professional quality. I love the overall design and fabrication. It is made of very good quality materials and should last longer than my old one.

This bag is tuff stuff. Shipping was fast and well packaged. Used old clothes and bags of sand to fill it up. Have mine weighing between 70-90 lbs and it’s been holding up great. 4-5 days a week of 2 hours of abuse and it’s been holding up like a champ. The quality of the bag is great. It’s a nice thick leather and has nice stitching. Well supported straps for hanging. If your not intimidated by filling it yourself, you have a great product.
