Built Like a Tool, Not a Promo Item
Every saddle sandbag is manufactured in-house using a Cordura® outer shell, double-stitched seams with A&E® thread, and heavy USA webbing. Internal liners are heat-sealed and sewn into each saddle pocket to maintain shape, protect fill, and keep workspaces clean. The result: a professional weight that won’t weep dust, split apart, or otherwise fail.
