HeavyBag made out of NYLON. WTF is nylon??

0100 · 11-25-2005, 07:09 PM

I have only had leather heavy bags and still think they are the best hands down. The problem is I have been looking for a 5' HB for years and years. Well fairtex now has a 5'

I am so happy! I don't like the camo but who cares it 5' perfect size for a MT HB in my opinion. The problem it's not leather. WTF.

It says it's made from a nylon outer shell with laminated PU lining and non-tearing industrail nylon lining for durability.

I know what Vinyl, Leather, and Canvas look and feel like.

But what does nylon look and feel like?
Is it smooth like Vinyl/Leather?
Is it rough like canvas?

Thanks for the help.

BTW does anyone know of a leather 5' HB?

nylon is a general name for a type of condensation polymer. put very broadly it is a plastic. alternatively it is the result of polymerising diaminoalkane (amine groups on first and last carbon) with a dicarboxylic acid. In most cases you get a large amount of carbon-hydrogen chain broen up by -NHCO- bonding between monomers.

from a more useful point of view, nylon in a punch bag shouldnt tear. It is far more likely to be smooth than be more like canvas. it will look like whatever colours they decided on, should most closely resemble a vinyl bag since vinyl is polychloroethene, a polymer vaguely simlar to nylons.

keep the bag away from fire...

no idea if any of the above is useful, but i made an effort at least

www.combatsports.com sell Windy gear which is better than Fairtex IMO

This is the most common bag in the camps in Thailand.

They sell a traditional 5ft Thai bag

I agree windy is better than fairtex but they don't have a 5' bag.

I own two 4' bags and a 6' bag. I am only looking for a 5' nothing else.

The windy bag is a 4' bag unless ringside got it wrong and it really is a 5'(60") HB.

If you know of any 5' HB please post.

Thanks for the help.

Ok sorry I am confused (doesn't take much) lol.

Who makes and sells this 5' thai bag?

Could you post a link?

Thanks again for your help.

The windy bag is 50 inches, sorry.

Why do you want a 5ft bag if you have two 4ft and a 6ft bag?
