 A great heavy bag that's easier on the hands than a traditional heavy bag May 31, 2007
By Caleb Charles Hodson
Hats off to the folks at Everlast Boxing for producing an excellent foam and water filled heavy bag. I have had arthritis in my hands for the past 6 years and this heavy bag has not given me any problems with my hands or knuckles. Although I say this bag is "easier on the hands", I cannot emphasiize enough how important it is to wear hand protection when you are working out or training. Handwraps are designed to support and help protect the small bones in the hand from breaking. Bruises around the knuckles are normal & natural due to the amount of pressure placed on the knuckle area when punching the bag. For myself, I personally use the mexican style handwraps which provide excellent protection. If greater hand protection is preferred, I recommend the Everlast traditional training gloves because they provide greater wrist support and absorb shock a lot better than a cheap brand such as TKO. Although the instructional insert says not to fill the plastic bladder all the way up to the rim with water I did and have not had any had any water leakage at all. This bag can stand up to one hell of a tough beating and can take all of the punishment that somebody can dish out! The bag has a liner made of softflex foam which has excellent shock absorbtion and has natural give. Heavy bag swing is kept to a minimum because of natural give on the bag due to being filled with water. I highly recommend this bag for someone who has sensitivity in the hands and want a heavy bag that is more comfortable to use.

 Everlast Soft Flex Water Bag Dec 11, 2007
By Doug Cruse
Don't waste your time with this bag if you are serious about a workout and want something that will last. I have busted two of them inside of six months. The first lasted about four months. Everlast sent a replacement after I complained and it lasted two months before it sprang a leak in the side. Also, the bag will bulge in the side and at the bottom. Finally the top of the bag seems to collapse after some use and forms and uneven surface that is difficult to hit without injuring your hand or foot. All around a bad design and dose nothing for the fine name of Everlast.

 Not perfect but I like it Jul 13, 2007
By M. Carranza
Overall this is a decent product. The water filled bag is very easy on your hands and wrists, and simulates a human body(a fat human body) better than a normal bag. The water does absorb some of the impact of the punch lessening bag sway but a loop on the bottom would have been nice to allow chaining to the floor or your bag stand. The bag ships empty and disassembled. You'll receive the blue outer case, a large water bladder, and some black foam to surround the bladder. I had some problems with keeping the bags shape as there was significant sag at the bottom of the bag. They give you foam discs to reinforce the bottom of the case but adding something a little stiffer (like cardboard) may help to keep the bags proper shape. - When the bags compressed from the top and bottom it really fills out the blue case nicely. Otherwise it sags at the bottom and the elongated bladder doesn't fully fill out the case giving the bag an odd appearance and less then stellar performance. It will feel like you need to add more water. To combat this I just stuffed some old t-shirts in the case above the bladder to compress the bag down. This helped but reinforcing the bottom would have improved the sagging problem even more. It's not perfect but it's a good price, shipping is much less then a standard heavy bag, and it's is very easy on your hands and wrists.

Lopsided and inconsistent surface!! Oct 09, 2007
By Nathan

I chose this bag as replacement to a leaking Century water/air bag that I loved (4+ years old). The foam padding does not provide the needed stability around the water core causing the bag to bend on itself. The result is an inconsistent and awkward punching surface.
Great work out bag / no longer available Jul 08, 2011
By Nils Castillon
So this bag was a great buy...until the inner tube broke and I found out it is no longer available. So I stuffed the bag with old clothes and sand bags. The quality of the product was excellent. The bag broke due to cold weather, so don't forget to bring the bag in during the winter :( Contacting Everlast has not been succesful yet to get a new inner tube.
