Review: everlast 8x5 $9.99 bag at title (bumped up to 24.99)
See the bag was bumped from 9.99 to 24.99, they must have caught wind of some orders and decided to capitalize... Luckily I picked up one at 9.99. The welting on the seams was horrible and stuck out more than I have ever seen so I scraped it with a utility knife and tried to shave off as much as I could and then treated it with some mink oil. They're down to the point where they don't affect the rebound much anymore like they were. But...Just as that became all good the strap ripped right out of the top of the bag. I had this problem on an 8x13 bag and after it came out I saw the stitching ran off the side of the strap so it's strength was obviously compromised when everlast let it leave the line. This new 8x5 bag though had all the stiching on the strap, although it was crooked. Hopefully everlast/title will get me a replacement because I haven't had this bag for much over 30 days (shipped 4-22-09) and I really haven't used it much. As much as I've beat on my yellow title 8x5 and never had any problems besides the original bladder giving out I'm beginning to become impressed with the title bags Maybe it's just everlast's lackluster quality as of late/bad luck with their bags, who knows.
Update: Minutes after sending an e-mail through everlast's website title customer service e-mailed me back with instructions for return/exchange (every time I e-mail everlast title customer service responds..?)
