Century Original Hydrocore Wave Bags Review

After going through a cheaper bag (all the sand and filling settled on the bottom making it dangerously solid) I went on the hunt for something else. I'm about 270, and I needed a big bag that could stand up to both punches and kicks. This seemed to fit the bill, but I never worked out on a water bag. I gambled and got this through Amazon (via Sportsmans guide). It's a VERY simple design, and I honestly can't see how it would ever break down. The "core" is a big heavy gauge plastic cylinder with a screw top; it's about the size of a small scuba tank. There is one layer of very dense uniform foam around this, and that's it. The cover is a little slick, but it too looks bombproof. Word to the wise: IF YOU GET A BAG LIKE THIS, DON'T FILL THE CORE TO THE VERY TIPPY TOP, WHEN YOU STRIKE THE BAG THE CORE COMPRESSES AND THE WATER HAS NO PLACE TO GO AND YOU COULD CONCEIVABLY CAUSE A RUPTURE. You only have to leave three inches or so to guarantee no problem. As far as working out on it, I like it. It is a little different from a traditional bag. Whereas a traditional bag feels more like "dead" weight, this bag has quite a bit of "life" to it. Again, not necessarily a bad thing, but different. The best part of this bag is knowing that each impact is a little less jarring and virtually any spot you hit the bag (with the exception of the very top and very bottom) has uniform resistance. All in all, I expect this to be the last heavy bag I'll ever need to own, there will always be others in the gym though ;-) {{this review is for the 120lb XL, but the 80?lb L is identical in design}}

Wave Bags.A Century Original! These bags offer the same heavy bag training benefits as a traditional heavy bag but the consistency of the feel as you hit the bag is far superior.

I have owned this item for about 5 years and it is still going strong. I use it for about 20-45 mins/ day about 4-5 times per week.
Bare knuckle or with gloves. I primarily do boxing workouts but it has seen its fair share of kicks, knees and elbows and never seen a tear or a worn spot.
The padding is about 4" thick and beneath is a solid plastic ring that alows you to adjust the height. This is also what keeps it from getting worn spots like a regular punching bag.
I used to work out at a friends house who had a 40lb everlast hanging bag and after a few months we tore it and had to hold it together with duct tape, which made us all sticky after every workout.
You can fill the base with water or sand, i have never filled it up all the way, but its pretty stable. If you cant use a hose and have it inside i made a funnel by cutting the bottom off of a 2 liter coke bottle and running back and forth to the bath tub with milk jugs.
Great product for anyone not wanting to drill holes in their ceiling to hang a regular punching bag.
