as you can see most are from ebay as they seem to provide the best price? should i be getting kits like this or building my own? also how big should i get the bag? i have around +/- £50 to spend is this is possible.

many thanks in advance

I'd go for the 2nd one.

Smerko, I'll play the bad guy..... My concern for you is that "you get what you pay for." While I'm not up to date with the going rates of boxing equipment overseas, here in the US, you can't buy a half decnt heavy bag for under $75, leat alone the entire package. Everlast gloves, $30, wraps, $7/pair.

Said that, I bought a bag and a $2 hook to hang it from my basement rafters. It's perfectly fine.

I certainly appreciate you wanting your own equipment since I have my own, but I find I seldom use it because I'm always at my gym. So can you just join a gym for the summer. Surely they have short-term rates....

look for the guy awrashid a seller on ebay, i have bought ALOT of stuff from him, he sells quality items, i have bought a few B2 items they claim its REX LEATHER which it really is but rex leather means vinyl (sp?) they just try to discguise it

i would say the bag in the first one looks the best quality to me but u would probably have to buy a better pair of gloves as the ones with tht set dont look too good
