FootFighter bags now available

That's odd, I've had mine for a while now probably 3 months or so and it's just starting to get holes in it. I abuse it probably the normal amount, no toe pickups, but I do carry it in my pocket for long periods at some times...

I have 10 footfighters in my repetoire, and only one got holes- the one I abused the most as a test of its durability. One busted a stitch after stomping it, but that's bound to happen with any bag. If you've ever had any other 32, then you should know that holes are part of the life of a bag. From my experience, a typical facile-32 will get its 1st hole right after it (finally) breaks-in, which means for the rest of its life you will be bandaging it regularly to keep it alive, while it expands to be too big and turns into a pancake. Again I'm just reporting from experience, but I've gone through dozens of facile bags with the same result, so you be the judge. FootFighters usually take only a few days maximum to break-in, then last any number of months before getting a hole. The way you take care of your bag will be the biggest contributing factor to its longevity. Wash gently when it gets dirty and pick it up with your hands; it's that simple.

Did I cover everything? Questions/comments are welcome. I have yet to receive a complaint about these bags.

Is there a chance payment could be sent by cash?

Well, I know how to take care of my bags...I was gentle with it and shreded normaly.

I know about the holes and for a while I tolerated them on my Fighter. But as I said, now it gets holes even if I (gently) rub it in my hands!
My friend had a similar experience, but he uses a Fighter with a new material (not facile). It is said that the material doesn't need to be broken in (which is true!) but at the cost of lower durability (which is unfortunately also true).

Well, we recently recieved a brand new (facile) Fighter and I will let you know how it turns out.

People contact me through my site all the time asking when footfighters will be back in stock, so I figure I should mention it here on modified, too.*
