Rank #2 in Best Boxing Bag 2026: What It Weighs When You Hit It
Gallant 5.5 Feet Heavy Free Standing Boxing Bag with EPE Foam Core
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Gallant 5.5-foot free-standing bag costs £94.99 and is rated 4.5 stars from 2,650 ratings, 74 per cent five-star and 4 per cent one-star.
It takes second because that is the second-best record here, and because it illustrates the difficulty in one line: the title says 5.5 feet and the specification field gives a height of 110cm, which is the part you hit rather than the bag.
How those 2,650 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.

How heavy is it once filled?
The listing gives 16kg empty and never states the filled weight.

2650 at the time of collection, averaging 4.5 stars, with 74 per cent five-star and 4 per cent one-star.
