    Default Heavy bags

    Ive got a 70lb heavy bag in my garage but was thinking of getting 1 of the 145lb bags n selin my old 1 to my mate. These bags are exspensive and i was wondering is there any diference from real leather and the synthetic leather? As if they are both eqauly as good what is the point in paying an extra $100

    Wondering that myself. Maybe b/c its bigger they had to use more material. And as for the leather...maybe one is better then the other.

    for a home gym it wouldn't make to much different using a leather or synthetic one. Technically a leather one is more durable and will last longer, but unless you have 10 guys coming to your house every day and working that heavy bag for hours on end for the next 20 years, you'll probably never see a synthetic leather bag wear out... As long as it's not a crap quality one in the first place..

    I think for a gym though it'd be worth investing that extra $100 but for home use it's not worth it if your trying to be money concious.

    im not cheap, i just wrapped my hands and hit trees, i think thats how i developed my power, it was sore at first for like 5 weeks.

    But on your question, im pretty sure that synthetic leather is softer, and well leather is more durable and tougher and well more expensive. But i could be wrong
