I'm looking to get a Heavy Bag 70lb. and a Double-End Bag for home training. And would like to get some opinions from those who train at home, about the equiptment you use.

Opinions & Recommendations On - Pros & Cons:

- Bag Brand: TKO vs. Everlast vs. Century

- Material: Leather vs. Nevatear vs. Vinyl vs. Canvas

- Filling: Prefilled Material vs Water Filled Bag

- Bag gloves

Total Budget = Under $200 for everything {Heavy Bag & Double bag}

................... Thanks Guys

I got an unfilled synthetic leather bag from Title...went to the car wash to get the rags to fill it...put a 25lbs sand filled carpet roll in the center to add more weight...now it weighs 110lbs.

It's a GREAT bag. No rips or tears. Heavy, and hard as fuck.....just the way I like it! (Sorry I just watched EAST BOUND and DOWN) lol

I had to anchor it down to the floor to stop it from swinging, but luckily the bag came equiped with an anchor ring already attached. I also have the heavy-grade bag spring hanging it up.

Everything totalled was about $60-70.

That's what I'm thinking .... get an unfilled bag and fill it with a mixture of sand and cloth.

Thanks
