I am very interested in this vest. I just want to make sure there isn't any sand in it as well?

I haven't seen sand unless there is sand in the weights but they are closed up... All weights are removable. I love it for hiking.

no sand. but no way this weighs as much as a bar of soap! thats unbelievable ! go to the supermarket and measure out 3 lbs of anything...way more than soap, but doable.

No sand. The lady I got this for is very happy with it. The Weights are easy taken out and put back in to control the amount of weight needed.

It will hold the sand bags but you'll be lucky to cram 25 pounds of sand bags in it much less 50. If you want a 50 pound vest this one is a bad choice. MIR sells a 60 pound vest on amazon that comes with the weights. I just went with that one. Its a bit pricey but it's worth it.

It's been so long, I can't remember. I bought this for my granddaughter for a sand box. You might want to try it. It's very clean sand but don't quote me on this.

It can probably keep out sand if it was completely zipped. It doesn't seem as if it was waterproof--maybe water resistant, but I definitely wouldn't expect it to resist more than a few drops of water.

This vest is USCG Approved Type V, with Type III Performance. It is made by AbsoluteOutdoor.com Cust Service 320-252-2056. It is a great vest with a mesh storage case. is has auto inflate with contact with water which can be disengaged, and auto inflate with a cord, or by mouth. It is light weight and does not interfere with any movements. I use it for fishing and it doesn't interfere in any way. The storage bag is heavy mesh I attached it to my fish finder case so it is always available when I go to the boat. Hope this helps.

I believe that might pertain to what is used for weight inside the (totally fabric) hem. It feels like it could be sand, but perhaps it's ground plastic... don't know. The only quibble I have with this item is that it has some creases -- probably from the way it was folded and packaged -- that ideally one would iron out, and thus it would look nicer, whether in the shower or especially over a window.

It can hold really small sand bags if you want. The pockets are rather small. I use small diving weights in mine because I had some laying around but if instead of buying something, I would recommend loading up a cloth pouch with a bunch of pennies. It's a great vest.

Okay, I just got some table salt and put it in one hand. Then my husband and I went into the backyard, opened up the sandbox, put some sand in the other hand and looked. We both agree that the sand particles are slightly smaller than the salt. We've used this sand for several years now, without problems, and will continue to order it when we run low. We keep it in an above-ground sand table, with a sturdy cover, so it's always clean. I hope this helps.

I wish I knew the answer for that one, but I don't. I will tell you that it's not messy- free. After a week of walking in my house feeling the sand in my feet, bed everywhere- I threw it out

The sand is quite fine, it may fog the aquarium, or get into the filter. I see where it would look nice if it worked.

Sand yes, leaves no. The new model Tigershark QC is not as good as the older model either. I have both and have been very disappointed with the new model.

If I remember correctly the answer is in the description on the bag. It is not sand it is stuffed with rags. We have had ours for over a year & it is used at lest every other day. Still looks and feels like new-great bag at a great price.

This was for my husband but I dont think it uses filters. The sand is the filter. You "back wash" it once in a while and sand is clean. Never change it.

The sand does have a nice, smooth texture when dry. I've never used this sand wet. It does have some dust when children pour from a foot above the sand tray

It's fairly dusty, and you would spend a LOT of $ to get enough for a sandbox. So, no. Check at Home Depot or look up play sand in a search engine.

Not on the vest. I used the vest on safari in South Africa, and was very happy with it. No problems!

It will get sand on it. The camera is pretty well sealed and it likely won't get sand inside.
