What makes this an "MMA" bag. As in how does it differ from your normal 80 or 100 lbs. bag other than the weight?

Nothing, There's No handles for knees just a plain old heavy bag.I'm assuming since MMA is pretty popular let's slap "MMA" on the bag and ride the wave.

Nothing. It just says "mma" on it. Good price though, bought it for a 15 yr old, he enjoys it

The height is about 12" high, the length is about 17" and the thickness depends on how loose or tight you decided by the side compression straps. Which my bag is at 7" thick with room to expand further if need be. The bag has what looks like Molle straps for adding on or upgrading, but military issue Molle accessories like pouches, holsters or panels won't line up correctly and will look sloppy because this bag's webbing spacing is all wrong. It's a damn good bag for about $40, but wouldn't pay no more than $50. I can carry a 10" tablet, a change of clothes (t shirt, shorts, underwear, socks, toiletries) as well as tools and misc. other stuff. My bag weighs in around 12-15 lbs. with room to put more stuff.

I like the answer from Lisa LL that it's "average-big" because it can be both. If you don't carry a lot, it won't be big but if you want to stuff it full, this bag can take it. I also love that it's not really deep, like some bags are, so I don't have to dig far for what I need.

It depends on your skill level. I have a few different sizes and like utilizing different sizes for different techniques or various drills to develope different attributes. Bigger bags are slower and are better for burning out the shoulders. Smaller bags require more finesse and more speed, but might not give you the same type of workout. I like to start small and as I start to fatigue I switch to a larger bag to finish out my shoulders. I also prefer rubber bladders over vinyl. They're more durable and retain air pressure better in the cold. Less refilling them, but they're heavier. Which you don't want in your faster bags. Just my thoughts on it. My absolute favorites are the title bags, the red classic and the yellow. I have a couple everlasts and they're good but I love the red classic, I think I went with the five, but I'll spend 7 hours or so out in the garage hitting on a good night. Anyway I hope this helps.

100 lbs. Don't buy this bag. The Black Vinyl covering is NOT a cushion but HARD vinyl that hurts your entire arm from wrist bones to elbow and shoulder bones. I've tried to "soften" it to be like a normal bag with a baseball bat literally, and it has not worked much. This bag is terrible due to the HARD Black Vinyl, which I believe they put there not as a cushion but as a way to save you from having to duck tape a "normal" bag after years of use. It's a bad buy and you will not be happy with how hard they've made the Black Vinyl (not a cushion). I've boxed with a bag since I was 12 years old so I know what I'm talking about. 100 lbs.

Yes, this would be a good bag for the price. It is fully adjustable. Just don't pack too much weight in it, considering your son only weighs 80 lbs. When I used this pack, I had it filled with 55 lbs. of gear.

If it is a down bag, you might want to avoid squashing the down. I guess the xx large bag would be best, but that is the only size I have used.

I would say the shipping weight at 25lb is a mistake. This is a heavy-duty bag. It's great, but it gave me a hell of a workout just getting it hung up by myself. I would add it to your cart and see on checkout what the shipping charges are. Better yet, go for the Prime and save on that and a ton of other stuff. --William

Cannot tell you exactly as I exchanged my Sherpa for a smaller bag. The bag I currently have weights 2.4 pounds and the Sherpa felt a little heavier. Hope this helps

I'm 6ft. 195lbs and it's seems fairly large on me. With both bags full the weight tends to move the harness a bit. I don't know if they have different sizes or not.

I have a 34" waist and my torso is a bit longer than yours and I am sure there is both room to "cinch-it down" or open it up from there, as needed. I know it says "skinny" style in the description, but I think that is very misleading because this bag will fit most frames (unless you are less than 120 lbs or over 300).This is easily the best bag I have ever owned (out of about 5-6 other brands, sizes, styles, etc.) and I have been adding gear to it ever since I received it from Amazon. I cannot wait to really get out and beat on it a bit because I know it will take it and as such, would recommend it to anyone.JC I have a 34" waist and my torso is a bit longer than yours and I am sure there is both room to "cinch-it down" or open it up from there, as needed.

It's heavier than a regular bag, mine is starting to tear after a year of use, but I use it daily. It also saves energy being able to roll it instead of carrying it. I would also add that I would buy this bag again.

The bag is good for punching, not too heavy and not too light. For kicking it's okay, not too long so you're going to have to be able to kick high enough or at least mid body. Overall the bag is a good training tool and feels good.

The bag is made of this thread material, kinda like canvas but with more of a plastic feel.The material will cause something like a rug burn and will tear skin off if practicing without gloves.Best bag alternative?Either kofightgear (damn good bag)Outslayer bags are pretty good too with that 10 year warranty.Both are rag filled so they won't break your sons knuckles, and both are better than this bag (trust me, ripped on me after a month of use)

It's a 100lb bag it's full you don't need any filler. Great bag doesn't tear like the leather bag.

The one I got was filled to 130 lbs - most people wouldn't need anything more than that. It should say in the description if it is filled/unfilled. The company is selling filled or unfilled and the price will be adjusted accordingly. The quality of the bag is excellent and much better than you will find in any store. Also, if you contact the seller, you can customize the colors of your bag.

Not sure of actual weight of the bag - I can easily handle it with all my clubs/gear (I'm 69 years old)..only when I move my bag from one side of the cart to the other. I'd say its no different than other bags I've had in the past.
