Very strong weight bag. Quality, durable stitching, and I love the dual zipper to prevent sand/lead shot spillage. As a practice, I still put the sand in gallon zip lock bags and placed them in the weight bag.

These sand bags have 2 big industrial like zippers as a added measure to keep the sand in. It is also fairly easy to fill and the loops make it very versatile.

I've bought two of these and will probably add a third because I've since bought more lights. Very sturdy and each side has two zippers, so none of the sand has leaked out. The carrying handle is thick enough so it doesn't feel like the stitching will rip when carrying the bag. They're very reasonably priced and I'm quite pleased with their durability.

Ordered twice. both times the bag had the same problem. The zipper was sewn incorrectly. You couldn't open the bag to add sand or whatever. Perhaps it was just a bad lot.

I purchased this product after using another brand that tore. This sandbag is very durable and appears that it will last for several seasons. I mainly use these bags on location to support a softbox and strobe in light winds. Thank you Photoflex for making a very durable product.

I lay the bags across the base of my light stands and they do the job for me. No movement of the stands no blow overs.

The bag is sturdy and well made. Does the job as expected. The steel rings are useful in keeping the bags secured in place.

This is a great product period. The price in right, the quality superior. If you work with children this is a must have to secure no debacles while you're trying to photograph.I shopped around and am glad I chose these bags.

Good heavy sandbags, made well with double zippers. I hate the giant logo on these.
