Overview
The Rogue Brick Bag is a versatile, loadable miniature sandbag designed for maximum portability and custom weight applications. Proudly made in the USA, these bags serve as a multi-functional alternative to fixed weights. Whether used as a customizable ruck sack weight or a portable "dumbbell" for travel training, the Brick Bag allows athletes to use local materials (sand, pebbles, etc.) to create resistance on the fly.

Performance Benefits
Rucking Customization: Due to their compact "brick" shape, these bags fit perfectly into ruck sacks, allowing for incremental and adjustable weight additions.
Portable Strength Training: Ideal for travel or outdoor workouts. Users can carry the empty bags in their luggage and fill them with sand or dirt at their destination to perform curls, presses, and thrusters.
Adjustable Loading: Unlike fixed iron weights, the load can be fine-tuned based on the density and volume of the filler material used.
Space Saving: When empty, the bags lay flat and take up negligible space in a gym bag or storage locker.
Maintenance and Care
Filler Hygiene: If using natural sand or dirt, ensure the material is dry before filling to prevent mold or odors from developing inside the Cordura shell.
Cleaning: Hand wash the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can damage the integrity of the Velcro and nylon webbing.
Storage: Empty and store the bags flat in a dry environment when not in use for extended periods.
Zipper/Velcro Care: Keep the Velcro tracks clear of excessive sand and debris to ensure a secure, leak-proof seal during training.
Warranty Information
Standard Warranty: Rogue Fitness warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of three (3) years from the date of purchase.
Exclusions: The warranty does not cover standard cosmetic wear and tear, or damage resulting from improper use (such as slamming or throwing the bags, as they are not designed for high-impact impact training).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these bags come with sand? A: No. All Rogue Brick Bags are shipped empty. Filler material (sand, lead shot, or gravel) must be purchased or sourced separately.
Q: Can I use lead shot to make them heavier? A: Yes, using a denser material like lead shot will allow the bag to exceed its nominal 10 lb or 20 lb sand-based capacity. Always ensure the Velcro is fully sealed if using small-grain media.
Q: Are these designed for sandbag slams? A: No. Unlike Rogue’s dedicated Medballs or Slam Balls, Brick Bags are designed for lifting and rucking. They should not be slammed or thrown against hard surfaces, as the roll-top closure is not intended for high-impact pressure.
Q: Will they leak sand during a workout? A: When rolled down properly (at least 3 rolls) and secured tightly with the webbing strap, the bags are designed to keep the filler material contained during traditional movements.
