Maybe I missed it, but I want to be clear. What is the most total] weight we can put in the main bag itself- not just in one of the interior sandbags?

I don't remember seeing how much it can hold either, but I have 22 pounds of sand in it and feel that it can handle a little bit more. The sand shifts around a bit and I'd like it to be a bit more still. Does that make sense?

Oh yeah! I got these for my workup. I filled it with moist sand and it tops out at 70lbs full. Pretty tough bag too.

To B. Langman,I recall reading your post when I went through them all, and wondered then, and now if there would be a penalty for abandoning two of the others? One has 5 layers, the other 7, and that makes for sturdier bags, I would think.If you couldn't use white garbage bags, and you responded to my initial quest for someone who has used all four types of bags, which of them was your favorite, and why?

Not really; these weights have 5 pockets on each, each pocket has a two pound bag of sand in it so the lowest you could go is 2 lbs per ankle weight. I was not happy with the sand bags as the leaked, they are plastic, albeit thick plastic, but sand leaked from the seams. I replaced the bags using my own creativity to make 1 lb tubes that I could then completely customize the weight distribution.

The manual says to add 365 pounds of sand. I used seven 50 pound bags (350 pounds total), which barely fit (had to keep shaking the base to get the sand to settle), and I can hang on the rim and it won't tip.

I think Joe's "55" lbs sounds right to me. I bought a trolley to transport it and the weight became a non-issue. Without the trolley I would have a hard time lugging it around because of the bulkiness added to the weight.

I wish I could answer this for you, I brought this bag for my son for Christmas. I know he uses it everyday and packs all his camera equipment in it, how much weight is that? I have no idea........Great Bag though!!!!!!!

I want to know too! I hate product descriptions like this. No dimensions anywhere, and no maximum temperature range for this bag. I won't bother with so little information. Vendors take note, you lose customers this way.

Of course the sellers they will not put a sand bag! they only gives you the black bag to place any heavy stuff inside it as you wish!

The last bag I received weighed 38lbs. No holes in bag, thought some leaked out but no. I'll weigh the next one to see if we are getting shorted.

I haven't put mine on a scale but I would bet I have between 50-75 lbs I carry around in mine with no troubles whatsoever. I have only had this bag for a couple of months but I use it hard everyday and not one problem as of yet.

I don't have an unopened bag, however I've used a portion of my latest bag and it still weighs 1.14 lbs. Hope this helps.

I'm at about the year mark now. Thanks to your question, I just examined my bag's major stress points and seams and everything looks as good as new. I regularly load up the bag as my mobile office (big 17" laptop, files, books, etc) which comes to about 20 lbs. Thanks for the question, it makes me feel good knowing how well it's held up given the price I paid !

I would say the shipping weight at 25lb is a mistake. This is a heavy-duty bag. It's great, but it gave me a hell of a workout just getting it hung up by myself.I would add it to your cart and see on checkout what the shipping charges are. Better yet, go for the Prime and save on that and a ton of other stuff. --William

I put in 250 lbs of sand. So far so good, but I haven't had high winds yet. Honestly, though, I'm not sure I could fit in more than 5 bags. Granted, my sand was not completely dry when I put it in, so I had to cram it toward the front. Maybe 1/2 to 1 more bag could fit in there if the sand was completely dry.

I took my Maya on RAGBRAI last year, I carried about 50-65lbs all week without any problem. If you are planning to use the red bag that comes with it though, I suggest not to overflow it with stuff. It tends to rip pretty easy.

I used 4 bags of 0.5 cu ft each of sand. Each bag weighed in at 48 pounds so that is nearly 200 pounds of sand. Nearly equal to 25 gallons of water..which weighs nearly 8 pounds per gallon. The guy that is using a 50 pound weight is really not securing his very well. One bag of sand and I could still tip mine over pretty easily. that was 48 pounds.
