I was worried about the sturdiness as some of the stitching didn't hit the reinforcement patches on the inside. But so far so good. I'm not throwing it to the floor or snatching on it roughly.I was worried about the way the inner pouches were made with the closures, both getting sand permanently in the velcro and poking me through the outter carrier. I discovered that if I roll down the lip of the pouch, it makes it easier to keep the sand out of the velcro. What little I did get on it brushed off. I weighed the pouches as I filled them, and at about 75% full, I got a gross weight of 8 lbs. I think they recommend only 75% filled to keep the pouches pliable. Then I alternated the pouches in the carrier with the "tops" towards the center. They overlap at the center. I reached in and pulled the bottom of the pouches to ends of the carrier. This filled out the carrier well while leaving the carrier somewhere pliable. So far, so good. A total weight i have in there is a tadThere are plenty of handles for a variety of positioning. I use it mainly for lunges and one-hand farmer's carries.100% recommended. Good value for the money.

Good commercial quality canvas bag with inserts gives good variable weight easily adjusted with inserts. Made to be filled with sand but other fill could be used I'd recommend if using sand you get sand to be used for sandblasting as it has no moisture. Handles are good diameter and there's plenty of reinforcement for heavy handed use. For the small investment it gives a good variation to multi position lifts and multiple hand positions

Do not buy these. They are cheap for a reason. Much better off buying an old duffle bag and using that. The handle stitching came apart immediately after filling. Just from picking it up. The stitching is awful. This is not a good deal

So, I recently got the ViBelle sandbag, and I was really excited to add it to my workouts. I've been wanting to incorporate more functional training, and a sandbag seemed like a great way to do it. Unfortunately, it hasn't been all sunshine and roses.Right off the bat, the thing that bugs me is the durability. They advertise it as heavy-duty nylon with double stitching, which sounds great, right? But after only a handful of workouts, I'm already a little worried about the stitching holding up. I'm not exactly going easy on it, but I also wouldn't say I'm abusing it. It just doesn't feel as bombproof as I was expecting, and honestly, I'm questioning if it's going to last.Another thing that was kind of annoying is the inner filler bags. They don't really tell you how much weight each can comfortably hold. I tried filling them to around 10 pounds each, about 80% full,, and then struggled to fit them back into the main sandbag. It looked bigger in the pictures online and it definitely added to my overall disappointment.Look, the ViBelle sandbag isn't terrible. I like the idea of the different grip options, and the versatility is there. But with the concerns about durability and the slightly cramped design, I'm just not sure it's the best option out there. If you're looking for a sandbag that can really take a beating and give you a hassle-free experience, you might want to keep searching especially if they keep the price at $50.

This review is for the ViBelle Heavy Duty Training Sandbags.I ordered this training sandbag because I wanted an easy to grip exercise bag. I have several Sandbells, but they require a grip that aggravates the arthritis in my hands. The multiple handles all over the ViBelle bag allows me great flexibility in grip placement. There are no less than eight handles on this bag.One design element that is frequently overlooked is reinforcement at the handle anchor points. ViBelle HAS put an additional layer of fabric at the anchor points, and has overstitched the attachment. The handles seem very secure after using it daily for 5 days.The interior sand bags are well thought out. As the Amazon listing states, there is a double layer of hook & loop to ensure the sand does not escape. I especially appreciated that design element.Main zipper is beefy, and is reasonably well anchored in the bag fabric with 8 stitches per inch, double stitched. While this is adequate, I would have liked to see a little more dense stitching to tolerate the abuse the bag will take over time.This is a flexible exercise bag that I believe will take a fair amoput of abuse. If you are in the market for an excercise bag, try this one.
