The Everlast Elite Heavy Bag is a premium training essential designed for athletes who demand durability, stability, and performance in every strike. Built with Everlast’s signature Nevatear anti-rip technology and reinforced hanging system, the Elite series is engineered to withstand intense boxing, kickboxing, and MMA workouts. Its carefully balanced fiber and sand filling delivers the perfect mix of resistance and shock absorption, protecting your hands and wrists while still offering a realistic training feel. Available in multiple sizes and weights, the Elite Heavy Bag provides a professional-grade training experience whether you’re a beginner or an advanced fighter. Key Features & Build Outer Material / Shell Made from polycanvas or durable synthetic leather depending on the model. The polycanvas is often described as anti-rip. Reinforced stitching and heavy-duty straps (usually nylon webbing). Filling Uses "loose rag fill" or reclaimed fiber/cotton/polyester mix which is designed to offer some give/padding while still being firm. This filling is forgiving on knuckles and wrists—less risk of abrasion/damage during strikes. Filling is enclosed securely; some models use a locking zipper to prevent the bag from opening accidentally. Hanging / Mounting System Typically a 4-2-1 strap hanging configuration (four straps towards two midpoints eventually joining into one, or variants) for stability and even distribution of weight. Reinforced nylon straps at the top where the attachment is made. Many have a bottom anchor loop so you can tether the base to reduce swing (useful for powerful strikes or kicking). Sizes & Weights Different heights and weights exist: e.g. 3¿ft/16¿kg (35-40 lb), 4¿ft/22¿kg, 60 lb (27 kg), and even 80 lb / 36 kg models. The size you pick affects how much movement/swing, how realistic it feels for body hits, etc. Durability & Use Conditions These bags are meant for indoor use; exposure to harsh elements (direct sun, rain, extreme dampness) can degrade the materials (polycanvas or synthetic leather). Good for "basic training / Level 1" type usage (for beginners or regular—but not extreme-pro/power-punch-only—usage). Higher intensity users might want heavier-duty or higher quality leather ones. Performance & Ergonomics The loose rag fill gives a somewhat softer centre compared to hard-packed sand Bags. This helps reduce strain on joints upon impact (especially hooks, uppercuts). The bag provides decent feedback—i.e. enough "give" vs "snap" so that you can work on speed, combinations, and power without overly punishing your hands/wrists. Heavier versions (e.g. 60-80 lb) will swing less, give a more solid feel, but require more support (strong ceiling mount / solid stand). Lighter versions are easier to move, more forgiving on ceiling mounts or lighter hanging points. The anchor loop helps reduce unwanted swinging/shaking, making combos smoother. Use-Cases & Ideal Users People training seriously in boxing, kickboxing, MMA who need a bag that can take heavy strikes and also long training sessions. Gyms / home gyms where space is available for a tall bag (4-5 ft) and a strong mounting point. Users who want durability and less maintenance / fewer repairs over time. Also good for mixed martial artists who need the ability to work on low/mid kicks, knees, clinch work (depending on height).
