Why was I able to punch right through this bag if it's durable?

My guess is it was overfilled! Mine is still going strong and used for both punches and kicks

You must be a rare breed for one, second, its a wing chun bag, wing chun is not about power, mine will last forever

You probably didn't fill it up enough, so when you were punching hard the canvas was being stretched in a way it's not intended to be. You need to fill it up to where there is little to no space left in the pockets when it's hanging. Once you do that you won't come close to punching through it.

It is made of rip-stop material and even if it were to get a tear, it wouldn't go far. But yes, the material is pretty durable as well. This is a great exterior frame, backpack.

i've found it to be very durable ... no signs if strain. I do not, however, carry that kind of weight in my bag. Have you considered saddle bags and a mule? ;-)

If you punch it without gloves, then you will most likely rip the skins from your knuckles. The cushioned part is meant to be punched with gloves to reduce the impact.That way it doesn't put so much strain on your wrists. However, if you punch hard enough, without gloves, then it will, still, rip the skin. The bag is durable and I say it's good for its price. Just remember, there is no bag that is soft like a cloud and this bag is probably one of the most cushioned one you'll find that your son will still get a rush out of it.

This bag is more durable than the one I purchased from Target. I've used this bag for several months now and have had zero rips, tears, or broken straps. I use it to carry soiled work clothes to and from work once a week. Also, I purchased the largest size available and it was way too big, you may want to consider that.

Dunno - never tested it for durability....only use it to access the battery compartment.....

Its very durable to blunt blows, but metal weapons will ding the hell out of it. Its not designed to take on edge weapons.

Yes, easily! great bag, very durable. Considering getting another for when this one fails (if it ever will)

Thanks for answering this question; you beat me to it! These used to break up easily, but the manufacturing process must have changed. The 'sheets' in the last 2 bags I purchased were almost impossible to crack. I was hoping the problem had been fixed, but it looks like it hasn't. Dang!

The bag doesn't move that much, maybe because of the way the water absorbs the impact. You definitely don't need to worry about it.

Yes it is durable. I have 2 cats with front claws and they have not been able to break through.

Bag is durable. However you can't push it forward easily if you have mobility stabity problems. I end up dragging it behind me. Like the seat though. Don't know the dimensions of the bag -- sorry.

The thickness of the straps are fine, its just how they're sown into the bag. The strap stayed attached to the bag when it was carrying to much weight and the panel it was attached to ripped apart from the rest of the bag.

I have the 1/4 in and it does punch through but not well. It's most likely because the hole is too small.

My son has not cut through his. However, if you grind heavily, you might want to get the extra durable one.

yea i think so. i was able to punch through over 100 sheets of thick paper. so i assume as long as the ziplocs dont slip and slide the punch itself will be able to get through it. before you use it on anything you care about test it on some crap material because there's some oil residue that needs to come off after the first couple of punches. then it's good to go. the way the device works is you put the items you want to punch under it and then you tighten and as you do that (by screwing the metal) it slowly "punches" through. it's more like a drill press than it is a punch. you don't slam down on the punch to get through the paper which is why it seems to be able to punch through so much. it's a slower process for sure but it's excellent.

I found this bag to be pretty effective. It went through quite a heavy beating for two days, and though I haven't used it since, it went above and beyond serving the purpose I had for it, and for the price, I was quite pleased.
