Overview
Rogue Sandbags are a heavy-duty, versatile strength and conditioning tool designed to bridge the gap between traditional weightlifting and real-world functional strength. Unlike stable barbells, the shifting sand inside these bags forces the athlete to engage stabilizer muscles and maintain core control throughout every movement. These bags are manufactured in the USA and are adjustable via modular filler bags or an integrated funnel filler system.

Performance Benefits
Dynamic Resistance: The internal weight shifts constantly during movement, providing a "live" weight experience that builds superior core stability and grip strength.
Multi-Planar Training: Ideal for carries, cleans, squats, lunges, and presses, as well as more specialized movements like rotational throws or sprints.
Adjustable Loading: Users can customize the difficulty by adding or removing modular filler bags or adjusting the volume within a funnel filler bag. Each size of Rogue Sandbag (S, M, L, XL) is compatible with either (a) 2-4 standard, modular filler bags of the same corresponding size; or (b )ONE Funnel Filler Bag of the same corresponding size. This means you can either quickly add/remove modular bags to adjust the total weight of the sandbag, or add/remove the sand itself incrementally from the Funnel Filler Bag.
Portability: Sandbags can be emptied for travel and refilled with locally sourced sand (such as play sand), making them an excellent mobile gym solution.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: The Cordura shell is machine washable. For routine maintenance, wipe down with cold water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach.
Air Drying: Always allow the bag to air dry completely if it becomes saturated with sweat or moisture. Do not store in damp, non-ventilated areas.
Sand Hygiene: If using an integrated funnel system, ensure the zipper track is free of sand debris to maintain a proper seal.
Avoid Abrasive Use: Rogue Sandbags are designed for lifting and carrying. Do not drag the bag over abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt, as this will compromise the fabric integrity.
Handle Safety: The zipper protection flap is not a handle. Using this flap to pull or lift the bag can cause damage to the stitching and is not covered by the warranty.
Warranty Information
Rogue Training Sandbags are warrantied for 3 years against any exterior rips or tears caused by regular use. Rogue will repair or replace the shell free of charge if such damage occurs.
Note: Adding sand directly into the outer shell (rather than using filler bags) will void the warranty. The warranty also does not cover damage from dragging or slamming.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to buy filler bags separately? A: Yes. The outer sandbag shell does not include filler material or filler bags unless purchased as part of a specific bundle. You must use either Traditional Filler Bags or a Funnel Filler Bag to hold the sand.
Q: Can I use these bags for "slams"? A: No. Rogue Training Sandbags are designed for lifting, carrying, and dropping on controlled surfaces (like rubber gym mats). They are not intended for high-impact slams or dragging.
Q: How much sand can the Large size hold? A: The Large Training Sandbag has a maximum capacity of approximately 160LB when filled with dry play sand. If using crumb rubber, the capacity is approximately 64LB.
Q: Can I wash the sandbag in a washing machine? A: Yes, the 1000D Cordura shell is machine washable. It is recommended to remove all filler bags and turn the shell inside out before washing on a gentle cycle.
