Any boxers/MMA fighters in here...?

Indoors= canvas
Outdoors = vinyl

neither for outdoors, canvas gets heavy and hard as a rock, then usually the top eyelets rip off the bag from the weight, vinyl will far a little better but after the vinyl starts to crack or split it goes downhill really fast!!!

Thanks for all the info. guys. I am going to go with the canvas bag. Id like a little more resistance anyhow. I think im better off with that. Also, you only recommend 6-8 ounce gloves? I have like a 315 bench, weigh about 210. Im a bit bigger than your average Joe. The lighter gloves will still be a nice cardio burn?

Yes 6-8 for cardio. I train with heavyweight and avg joes and i can tell u even the big guys have trouble holding those big gloves up. Plus with all that padding ur more likely to roll ur wrist. But like i said start with 8 and work up or down to ur liking.

I have a 345 bench, but i'm about 230, yes bro you want the lighter gloves, you want more cardio, move around the bag more!!! and like they said wrap you wrists, 6-8oz gloves will not mess with your knuckles at all...

I can dig it. Thanks man! I ended up getting a set of 10oz'ers... they have some weight, but I like the feel. Can get a solid 30 min workout on it, without my arms getting heavy. Ive never felt forearm burn like that in my life though... its amazing. Couldnt ball a fist the day after. lol.

I say canvas and put it on a pulley system or spring system that will give less and controllable resistance
