Performance Benefits
Rapid Loading: The long handles enable the athlete to quickly pick up the weight and move it into a sprint-carry position over the neck, making it superior for interval and "metcon" style workouts.
Ergonomic Carrying: Unlike standard duffle-style sandbags, the Feed Sack's shape and handle orientation are optimized for running and long-distance carries.
High Versatility: Equally effective for standard movements like squats, lunges, thrusters, and clean-and-presses, providing a comprehensive full-body stimulus.
Increased Stability: The integrated filler system minimizes "dead space" compared to loose filler bags, resulting in a more predictable (though still challenging) weight shift.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: The Cordura exterior is machine washable. Remove the filler material and wash the shell on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent.
Drying: Air dry the bag completely before refilling or storing. Do not use a machine dryer, as high heat can damage the nylon webbing and Velcro.
Sand Quality: Use only "washed and dried" play sand or masonry sand to prevent organic growth and odors inside the bag.
Usage Restrictions: The Rogue Feed Sack is designed for lifting and carrying only. Do not use the bag for slams or dragging across abrasive surfaces like concrete, as this will accelerate wear and tear.
Handle Precaution: The zipper protection flap is not a handle. Using this flap to pull or lift the loaded bag can damage the stitching and compromise the closure system.
Warranty Information
The Rogue Feed Sack is covered by a 3-Year Warranty on the shell and stitching. This warranty covers defects in materials and manufacturing.
Exclusions: Damage resulting from dragging, slamming, or misusing the zipper flap as a handle is not covered. Normal wear and tear or expansion of the fabric over time is expected and not considered a defect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I fill the Feed Sack with something other than sand? A: Yes. While play sand is standard, you can use crumb rubber for a lighter, higher-volume feel, or pea gravel. Note that max weight capacities will change depending on the density of the material used.
Q: Is the sand included with the purchase? A: No, Rogue products ship empty to save on shipping costs. You will need to source your own filler material.
Q: Will the bag leak sand during a run? A: No, provided the internal funnel is rolled and secured correctly and the exterior heavy-duty zipper is fully closed and covered by the Velcro flap.
Q: Can I use this for "rucking" inside a backpack? A: While it can be placed inside a large rucksack, its primary design is to be carried externally via the handles or draped over the shoulders.
