Overview
The Rogue JC-100S Jerry Can Sandbag is a modern, Cordura-based evolution of the classic military fuel container. Inspired by the WWII-era jerrycan, this sandbag provides a safer, more portable, and space-efficient alternative to traditional metal or HDPE cans. Designed specifically for functional strength training, it excels in farmer’s carries and stability work while being gentle on gym floors and the athlete's feet.

Performance Benefits
- Adjustable Weight: Jerry Can sandbags are designed to be filled with sand / filler material, allowing you to adjust the weight according to your fitness level or the type of workout. Because of the large capacity, you do not need to buy several different sizes to train with different weights, you can just fill the bags with as much or as little filling materials as you desire.
- Functional Training: The uneven and shifting nature of the sand inside the bag adds an element of instability, promoting functional strength and stability.
- Versatility: The various handles and grips on our Jerry Can sandbags allow for different holding positions, accommodating a wide range of exercises, from farmer’s carries to deadlifts, chest carries, and shoulder carries. It can also be used as extra sled weight.
- Portability: The fillable design makes this style of Jerry Can easy to transport; take it with you empty, fill it on-the-go, bring it back empty.
- Full-Body Engagement: Many of the best Jerry Can carry exercises engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, providing a comprehensive full-body workout.
Maintenance and Care
Filling: Use the built-in funnel filler for quick loading. For maximum weight, use dry play sand; for a lighter, higher-volume bag, use crumb rubber.
Cleaning: The 1000D Cordura shell is machine washable. Ensure the bag is completely empty before washing on a gentle cycle with cold water.
Drying: Always air dry the bag. Avoid using high-heat dryers which can damage the nylon webbing and Velcro.
Zipper & Velcro Health: Periodically clear sand and debris from the zipper track and Velcro strips to ensure a tight, leak-proof seal.
Usage Restrictions: This sandbag is NOT designed for high-impact slams or dragging exercises.
Handle Precaution: The zipper protection flap is NOT a handle. Using this flap to lift or pull the loaded bag may damage the stitching and is considered misuse.
Warranty Information
Rogue Jerry Can Sandbags are backed by a 3-Year Warranty on the shell and stitching against defects in material and workmanship.
Note: This warranty does not cover damage caused by dragging, slamming, or the improper use of the zipper flap as a handle. Fabric expansion over time is common with Cordura sandbags and is not considered a defect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can two people carry one bag? A: Yes, the Triple-Handle version is specifically designed for partner carries, allowing two athletes to each grab one of the outside handles to share the load.
Q: Does it fit in a standard rucksack? A: While it is designed as a standalone implement with its own handles, its flexible construction allows it to be placed inside large packs, though the JC-100S is optimized for external carrying.
Q: Can I use lead shot to increase the weight beyond 100 LB? A: While denser materials can be used, the bag's internal baffles and seams are optimized for a 100 LB sand load. Exceeding this weight significantly may stress the construction and affect the bag’s shape.
Q: Will the sand leak out during a run? A: No, the combination of the "tucked roll" Velcro funnel and the heavy-duty zipper closure ensures the filler material remains contained during dynamic movement.
