Everlast Powercore Freestanding Heavy Bag

The bag arrives empty. You will need to fill the base with either water or sand to achieve the recommended 250-pound weight for optimal stability.

Sand is generally preferred because it is denser and provides more stability, which helps prevent the base from shifting during heavy strikes. Water is easier to fill and drain if you need to move the bag frequently, but it may slosh slightly during impact.

While it is durable, this bag is designed for indoor use. Exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture can degrade the NEVATEAR material and the plastic base over time.

Adjusting the height is straightforward and can be done quickly to accommodate different users or training styles. The range spans from 52 to 65 inches, making it versatile for both punches and kicks.

When filled to its maximum capacity of 250 pounds, the base is designed to remain stable under most training conditions. However, extremely powerful strikes may cause some movement, which is common for all freestanding units compared to hanging bags.

No, you should always wear boxing gloves or hand wraps. While the foam core absorbs impact, the NEVATEAR outer layer is a durable synthetic material that can cause skin abrasions if struck with bare hands.
