What is the Competition Sandbag?
The sandbag is designed for HYROX sandbag lunges, carries, and functional circuits. It has a Cordura nylon shell with reinforced, double-stitched seams, seven non-slip nylon handles for different grips and angles, and a dual heavy-duty Velcro enclosure. Inside are Velcro-sealed inner bags that help prevent leaks and moisture.

Does the sandbag come filled?
No. The sandbags ship unfilled, and sand isn’t included. The 10 kg bag includes two 5 kg inner bags, the 20 kg bag includes four, and the 30 kg bag includes six. You’ll need to fill the inner bags with sand yourself. The manual doesn’t include filling instructions, so please add them if you have them.

What kind of sand should I use?
Play sand is the best choice for most sandbags. It’s fine, dry, and easy to handle, and you can find it at hardware stores such as Home Depot or Ace. It can compact slightly over time, but it’s widely used. Dry tube sand, sometimes sold as traction sand, is finer and drier than play sand and comes in tubes of about 60 lbs. It’s less dusty and packs more tightly. Washed mason sand is slightly coarser than play sand but still soft and easy to handle, and it’s less dusty because it’s washed.

How much sand do I need?
Each sandbag holds a different number of inner bags. The 10 kg bag includes two 5 kg inner bags, the 20 kg bag includes four, and the 30 kg bag includes six. Fill each inner bag with sand, and check the total weight before you use the sandbag.

How do I fill the sandbag?


What safety precautions should I follow?
Consult your physician before starting any exercise program. Keep children and pets away from the sandbag at all times. Stop immediately if you experience shortness of breath, pain, or dizziness during your workout. Don’t use the sandbag outdoors. Wear appropriate workout clothing, and always stretch and warm up before using it. Use the sandbag only for its intended purpose.

What warranty comes with the sandbag?

  • Consumer use: 5 years.
  • Studio and light-commercial use: 3 years.
