Overview
The 4" Cone Marker by Powermax is a compact, multi-use training staple for any athletic facility, school, or home gym. Standing at a 4-inch height, these cones are designed for precision speed and agility drills, where a low profile is preferred to minimize interference with high-speed footwork. Constructed from flexible PVC, they are durable enough to survive being stepped on or kicked without cracking or losing their shape.

Performance Benefits
Low-Profile Precision: The 4-inch height is ideal for agility drills (like the 5-10-5 or L-drill) where athletes need a clear visual marker that doesn't obstruct their path or vision of the ground.
Safety & Resilience: The flexible PVC construction allows the cone to compress or deflect when struck, reducing the risk of rolled ankles or trips compared to rigid plastic cones.
Versatile Environments: Suitable for use on synthetic turf, grass, concrete, or indoor gym flooring.
Portability: Their small footprint and stackable design mean a 6-pack can easily fit into a standard gym bag or a Rogue Kit Bag.
Multi-Sport Utility: Essential for football, soccer, track, and tactical training to mark boundaries, starting lines, or change-of-direction points.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. The PVC material is non-porous and will not absorb moisture or mud.
Storage: Store stacked on a flat surface. To maintain their shape, avoid placing heavy equipment on top of the stack for extended periods.
UV Exposure: While built for outdoor use, storing them in a shaded area when not in use will prevent the orange pigment from fading over time.
Temperature: PVC remains flexible in most temperatures, but avoid jumping on them in extreme sub-freezing conditions to prevent potential cracks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these better than disc cones? A: It depends on the drill. Disc cones (flat) are harder to trip on, but 4" upright cones are easier to see from a distance or in peripheral vision when moving at high speeds.
Q: Will they blow away in the wind? A: Due to their low profile and weight, they are more wind-resistant than taller, lightweight plastic cones, though they can still move in very high-wind conditions on smooth surfaces.
Q: Do they come in other colors? A: This specific model from Rogue is primarily stocked in high-visibility Orange.
Q: Can I use them on ice? A: Yes, hockey and skating coaches often use 4" cones for edge-work drills, though they may slide if hit directly.
