GORUCK Sand Tombstones

No, the Sand Tombstone ships empty to save on shipping costs and allow you to customize the weight. You will need to purchase dry play sand separately to fill it to your desired capacity.

The bag uses a secure, multi-layered closure system featuring triple Velcro and paracord laces. This design eliminates the need for zippers, which are common failure points in heavy-duty gear, ensuring the sand stays contained even during intense drops.

The material is highly water-resistant and built to withstand extreme outdoor environments. While it is not fully submersible, it will easily handle rain, mud, and wet ground without compromising the integrity of the bag.

The unique, ergonomic shape is designed to be awkward and unstable, which forces your core to work harder to stabilize the weight during lifts and carries. It creates a more functional, real-world training stimulus compared to the balanced distribution of a traditional sandbag.

Yes, the Sand Tombstone is constructed with heavy-duty 1000D Cordura and reinforced stitching specifically to handle rigorous daily use, including drops and slams. However, as with all sand-filled gear, frequent high-impact slamming may accelerate wear over time.

The handles are reinforced and padded with neoprene to provide a comfortable, secure grip. They are designed to withstand the tension of heavy carries without digging into your hands, though they are intended for lifting and carrying rather than dragging.
