While the RDX bag is fairly slim itself, the double layered Maya Hide leather clearly has other benefits too, as the bag keeps it’s shape no matter what, despite not being as heavily packed or as weighty as some other bags. uk/browse/sports-and-leisure/sports/boxing-and-martial-arts/punching-bags/c:799064/brands:rdx/" on this server. Personally we went with the gold highlight version, partly to match with the RDX Power Fighter Leather Sparring Gel Boxing Gloves but also because we feel that overall it has the nicest design.

These come pre-padded and according to RDX weigh in at around 22-24kg for the 4ft bag, and 25-28kg for the 5ft version. The problem a lot of the slimmer heavy bags face is that after a while they start to crumple and bend beneath blows. These do the job, however are a little noisy when you start to put some power behind your strikes, and the hooks that attach to the bag have a tendency to come off every now and again. As mentioned previously, the RDX Punching Bag comes in a range of visual options; a black version, a white version, an alternative black version, a version with pink highlights and a version with gold highlights. I would say this is probably a good level of feedback for beginners, however I have found that the filling isn’t quite evenly distributed, and sinks to the bottom a little bit.The colours match up really well with the gloves, and we can’t help but feel that RDX could have made a bigger deal of this combination. Fighters who want a slightly fuller or harder bag have the option of adding extra filling or replacing the filling entirely if they wish. The 4ft versions are useful for most martial arts, however the 5ft bag also allows you to add in low kicks to your training, as well as adding a bit more weight to the bag. The heavy bag is made up with two layers of Maya Hide leather, which RDX claim gives it extra stability and resilience. Treated with H-CR™ anti-rust formulation, this all weather wall bracket can hold bags up to 40 KGS on attached D-Shackle at the end of 42CM (away from wall) heavy-duty arm.

The firmness of the bag isn’t too hard either, and striking the bag has a small amount of resistance without feeling rock hard and overstuffed. The construction of the bag in general seems really sturdy, and I have no worry that the bag might split. There’s a constant, recurring debate about who the best in any sport is - we’re adding to it with our own list of the best BJJ fighters!The leather also has a really nice feel to it, and after many sessions worth of use, even the white section of the bag still looks brand new. RDX is one of the UK’s most widely known fight brands, who are now pushing their products over to the US, as well as already having popularity in a large number of countries. Note: Since we originally wrote this review, RDX have made some minor updates to the product name and printed logos. As a result, some details may not be fully accurate, although the review is still representative of the current product. We’ve tested out the 5ft version through personal use in a home environment, which does mean it won’t have suffered as much punishment as a heavy bag in a gym which would get used much more regularly.
