When you purchase the bag gets full or empty, and how heavy the package really no padding. Thank you.

The bag arrived complete. You do not add any filler. It is a 100 pound bag with added padding. This is still a well made, "very hard bag" but softens with use.

It comes completely full of sand and cotton rags. 45 kilo/100 lbs. if you can get this free shipping, it is worth not loading it in your car from the store. It will settle over time, the bottom wil be hard and the top soft. I upgraded to a hydro- core. Foam enveloping a water bladder. Far superior! Good luck.

It's a 100lb bag it's full you don't need any filler. Great bag doesn't tear like the leather bag.

I don't feel like this bag is heavy at all, but hopefully you'll get more answers from others to get more of a general idea.

It all fits in the bag that it comes with. Not very big, but it is somewhat heavy.

It is already full. I believe it weighs around 80lbs. I believe it tells you in the description as they have different weight bags.

Mine is about the same and I didn't even need the whole bag. This is good stuff-a little goes a long way!

It does not feel heavy to me. But if you want to feel more secure about it and if you have a scale at home, put 5 1/2 pounds of books or a binder or similar object on the scale and once you have approximated the weight, try it on your lap and see how it feels. That might help you decide. Good luck.

The item i selected did not come with a bag. There are 20CM's that do on Amazon , but you have to read the description. I didnt notice until after i made my purchase but did save a few bucks that way

No, sounds perfect. With all the padding this bag has it fills up pretty quickly.

When it's empty it's pretty thin, it stretches pretty big. I use it as a laptop/tool bag with chargers etc. And everything fits good.

It is just a bag, no padding. We got a hole at the bottom of our's on our first use. It's hard to find an alternative given the size of the double stroller.

It helps with that for me. I suppose different people might have different results, but for me, yes, it helps. Mostly I use it as additional padding so if I load the bag up and it gets heavy, it doesn't hurt to carry. That's the main reason I have used the pads on all 3 of my Domke bags.

mine came in a box, didnt have a bag with it. i will be putting mine in a twin mattress zippered protector and carrying it that way when i move. it would be hard to compress it though im sure. i would try to get a bag that has an easy carry handle if you can, or whatever is easiest to pick it up. the thing is somewhat heavy but not as bad as a real mattress. i have a 1 inch polyeurethane egg crate pad on mine, then a 3 inch latex foam mattress pad under that to make it comfortable to sleep on. the length of the mattress is about 77 inches, which is nice because its not too long like an ex long twin mattress, but not too short for me like a twin bed is. im 5'9 mine came in a box, didnt have a bag with it. i will be putting mine in a twin mattress zippered protector and carrying it that way when i move. it would be hard to compress it though im sure. i would try to get a bag that has an easy carry handle if you can, or whatever is easiest to pick it up. the thing is somewhat heavy but not as bad as a real mattress. i have a 1 inch polyeurethane egg crate pad on mine, then a 3 inch latex foam mattress pad under that to make it comfortable to sleep on. the length of the mattress is about 77 inches, which is nice because its not too long like an ex... » Read More mine came in a box, didnt have a bag with it. i will be putting mine in a twin mattress zippered protector and carrying it that way when i move. it would be hard to compress it though im sure. i would try to get a bag that has an easy carry handle if you can, or whatever is easiest to pick it up. the thing is somewhat heavy but not as bad as a real mattress. i have a 1 inch polyeurethane egg crate pad on mine, then a 3 inch latex foam mattress pad under that to make it comfortable to sleep on. the length of the mattress is about 77 inches, which is nice because its not too long like an ex long twin mattress, but not too short for me like a twin bed is. im 5'9 « Show Less

I do not believe that it does weigh 8 pounds, but if it does it doesn't feel like it. This bag empty feels like it only weighs 1-2 pounds at most. But it is very well constructed, with heavy duty materials, zippers, & buckles. I hope this fully answers your question.

Haven't purchased any lately, but the few bags I have gotten in the past were always wonderful. Sorry to hear you're having a bad experience, I am sure they will replace them for you if you contact the seller thru Amazon in a timely manner.

Hi, There is no bag full indicator. I'm afraid you just have to open the front up and squeeze the bag (or worse still take the bag out and look inside ..) HTH

It's not heavy itself, empty. Once you add the jewelry (which is what I carry), it gets a little heavier to lift, but manageable :)
