I have over thirty 32 pannel bags and i miss mine so much i would probably give away 10 of those bags just for another cuddlebag...or i could just pay 10 bucks. they are so great man, ugh, i need another, thats what i'll do with the $25 i just got paid :wink:


buy one.

They're made of microfleece, filled with anything you want and weigh approximately 50g. :)

You should fill it with an egg. That'll teach you to cushion that bag. :D

j/k

It's just a mixed, lead-free (edit) filler we have. You don't actually get a choice. For $10 shipped, you really can't go wrong.

Peng didn't know we had talked.

This isn't a big deal.

No, Tom's gay and didn't remember that we recently updated our cuddlebag filler to be lead-free. Cheers!

The bag's a durable as hell. My friends toe skuffed his for 2 months straight and it's still fine.

Pro: cheap, durable, stally, heavy and floppy

Con: less precise to set than a 32 since they are floppier

so the general concensus(sp) is that it is a very good bag, is it good to learn basic tricks on?

Great for a beginner learning the basics of freestyle as well as seasoned shredders alike. We know several footbaggers who shred with them as their primary bag because they are designed for freestyle footbag. They make the transition to a 32 when you're ready for one, pretty seamless.

I hope I've answered all your questions.

Cuddlebags are great, even though I have some 32p bags at home I often use the cuddlebags to practice clipper form and just shred in general.

Microfleece is super cool material to stitch with. I've only felt the thickness of some of the colors that Tom and Peng had when I stayed at their apartment during Kickass of last year, but they make great bags, especially Cuddlebags.

All of my Cuddlebags died because of stupid hacky slackers. NYC kickers like to kill bags at every chance they get. :(

Cuddlebags were all that I played with for about half a year, and I love them!! I like them a lot better than Mr. Sandmans.
They break in pretty easy, don't leak, and they have a great feel and a great weight.
