Fairtex HB16 Water-Filled Punching Bag - Unfilled - 1ft
- A few left in stock!
What is the recommended fill and weight for Fairtex heavy bags?
Fairtex bags are shipped unfilled and should be packed with a mix of fabric scraps, rags, and a sand/rubber mulch core for density - aim for 90-100 lb to balance swing and absorption without over-hardening. Avoid pure sand to prevent settling or tears; use layers for even distribution, and test rebound during filling to suit Muay Thai kicks and punches.
How durable are Fairtex bags for regular home or gym use?
Fairtex bags are handmade in Thailand with Syntek synthetic leather or microfiber shells that resist tearing and weather for 3-5+ years with daily sessions (e.g., kicks, knees, elbows), when properly mounted and maintained - air out after use to avoid odor.
How to mount a Fairtex bag and minimize swing?
Mount Fairtex bags using a ball-bearing swivel on a sturdy beam/joist rated for 2-3x the filled weight (e.g., 225+ lb for 90 lb bag) with nylon straps for quieter operation - add chain links if needed for height. For minimal swing in Muay Thai (low kicks), use a floor anchor or weight the bottom; users recommend a 90-100 lb fill for controlled rebound without excessive movement, ideal for home setups.
