Overview
The Rogue Brick Bag is a loadable, miniature sandbag designed for maximum portability and specialized training applications. Functioning as both an incremental weight for rucksacks and a portable alternative to dumbbells, these "bricks" are ideal for on-the-go training where traditional weights are impractical. Simply fill them with locally available materials like sand or pebbles, and empty them for flat, lightweight storage in your gym bag.

Performance Benefits
Incremental Rucking Weights: Their small, brick-like profile allows them to fit easily into the compartments of a rucksack, providing a custom way to add 10 LB or 20 LB increments to a rucking workout.
Portable Dumbbells: When filled and secured, the nylon strap provides a grip-friendly handle for movements such as thrusters, cleans, curls, and shoulder presses.
Travel-Ready Training: Perfect for beach or trail workouts; athletes can carry the empty bags in a pocket, fill them at the training site, and empty them before heading home.
Dynamic Loading: Using granular filler like sand creates a shifting weight that challenges the smaller stabilizer muscles more effectively than fixed iron dumbbells.
Maintenance and Care
Filling Instructions: Open the Velcro closure and fill to the desired weight. For a secure seal, roll the top down at least three times before fastening the 2” nylon webbing strap.
Cleaning: The Cordura shell is machine washable. Remove all filler material before washing on a cold, gentle cycle. Air dry only.
Surface Usage: These are designed for lifting and rucking. Avoid using the Brick Bags for high-velocity throws or slams, as the roll-top closure is not designed for sudden explosive internal pressure.
Inspection: Check the Velcro tracks periodically for sand or debris. A clean track ensures a more reliable seal during exercise.
Caution: These bags are intended for static lifting and carrying. They are not designed for dragging or high-impact dropping.
Warranty Information
The Rogue Brick Bag is backed by a 3-Year Warranty on materials and workmanship.
Important Note: This warranty specifically covers the integrity of the Cordura and stitching under normal use. Damage resulting from using the bag as a slam ball, throwing it, or dragging it across abrasive surfaces is not covered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use these as a replacement for a steel ruck plate? A: Yes. While larger than a steel plate, they provide a more pliable weight that can be distributed differently within your pack.
Q: Will the Velcro hold if I drop the bag? A: The Brick Bag is designed for lifting and rucking, not for dropping or slamming. High-impact drops can cause the roll-top to burst open.
Q: Do I need to use a liner inside? A: No. The 1000D Cordura and roll-top system are designed to contain sand directly, though using dry sand is recommended to prevent moisture buildup.
Q: Can I fill it with lead shot to make it heavier? A: While possible, the 10 LB and 20 LB designations are based on sand density. Using lead shot will make the bag much heavier than its intended structural design, which may strain the seams.
