Can anyone explain how the sand goes in (is it just a giant "pillow" or is there an inner compartment) and how it stays sealed (zipper, velcro)?

It kind of has a woopie cushion type neck that comes out, you tie it off with a rubber band. The end then tucks into the small whole (break in the colored piping). I thought it wouldn't work well, but mine had held up well. There are some small sand particles that will slip through the bag, but nothing too crazy.

There is a bladder inside that gets folded over... Nothing leaks out, and you can fill it light if you want.

There's an inner rubber bladder that you fill with a funnel then fold the opening over & wrap the rubber band around the bladder neck to prevent sand from coming out. I use mine in my Crossfit program....overhead lunges, turkish getups, wallballs and even ball-slams. I've got 10 & 15lb sandbells...never have any problems with leaking sand.

There is a little neck that pops out for filling. Then it's tied off with a rubber band and pushed back inside the bag. I have never had a problem with mine and I've had it about six months.

The front pouch is permanently sewn on. It is lined in a vinyl like material but the zipper and the drainage grommet on the bottom of the pouch render it not waterproof. There is a dry pocket inside the main bag that runs the length from top to bottom. I have not tested it's dryness yet but other reviews say it is a real dry pocket.

The bag is mesh, so it probably couldn't hold sand. You could try to find a tighter mesh bag.

Hi Kate, I believe the sand comes in a bag and the bag is in the box. I purchased it last spring and my memory isnt as good as it used to be, but i do remember that i was pleased with the way the sand was bagged and the quality of it. A year later and the sand is still white and perfect and my grandaughter is still enjoying it. i hope this helps.

It is totally enclosed when you do up the zipper !!! Our two puppies love it !! They stand at the stroller and cry to go in it!! We take them everyday for a `walk `!!

Yes, the inside is a removable, hard compartment that has no seams and is completely waterproof. The only time water leaks out is if you tip it upside down and some water will creep out the zipper.

its more like a cloth mesh bag...not very protective but will keep the dirt off and keep scratches at a minimum or sand out at the beach.

I tried putting it in the tent & the zipper broke & I had to exchange the tent. The pad doesnt fit inside & doesnt seem to be designed to fit inside the tent. I read other reviews that said heavy rain will flow water down the tent & undernieth. The Pad cover seems moderetly water-resistant but to avoid getting the foam wet Im putting a rain tarp over the whole set-up when I go camping. I think the inadequate coverage of the Quick Tent`s rainfly over the cot/pad is what makes it so cheap. I dont mind since I plan on sleeping in it w/out the rainfly under a raintarp this Summer. Hope this helps

I gave the sand and the box to my husband at Christmas. He's put a plastic top on it but I'm sure it wasn't necessary. It's not air tight and the sand is just like new. Hope you enjoy it.

This item has no zipper, but it has a fold/flap/don't know what to call it so you can tuck the pillow inside and not have it fall out.

This box does not come with a lid, but the container that the sand came in does have a lid. There is more then one company that sells the sand, I bought the one that comes in a plastic cylinder shaped container. It has a screw on lid and that's how we store it. Zip lock bag would work too. Now that I think about it though, I don't think that it needs an air tight container. A cashier at a store I was at said that they'd had their sample of sand out for months and never put it away and it was still nice and squishy. So maybe you don't really need a lid at all??

It is a small wallet. It has two zipper compartments.One on both side and its kind of nice to have if your going to beach.And don't want to take to much stuff with you.And you can have your keys attached. And I use it went I go out to the store. I hope this answered your question if not let me know.

Most definitely!! It closes securely, so there is no way for sand to get in. However, be careful where you put it down. The velcro closure is on the bottom when the bag is filled and upright (don't know why the manufacturer put it there), so don't put it on anything that may snag. For example, when I fill it with groceries and place it in the trunk upright, it stays and doesn't move while I'm driving, but when I pick it up, it does pull on the rug in my trunk. Other than that, it is a great bag to store stuff in! Hope this helps!

The curtains are inside to zip up and so far so good hold up to weather.. so no leaks when it rains! and works great on the beach too even when it's windy and Looks great!! have fun! ;)

The inner tent is all mesh as you see in the photo. I have not had the tent in an extreme rainfall yet, but it has worked well in moderate rainfalls. However I did seam seal the entire "flat area" on the top of the tent. This "flat area" is my only concern with this tent. But the seam seal did appear to work. In addition I always spray all my tent flys with Camp Dry or similar product.

Hi Richard! Yes, the main compartment is sealed by a zipper that goes all around, then the buckles hook it shut. Between these two, it keeps this bag locked up tight. I hope that helps you out! Thanks for your question! :)

It is zippered on the sides but not the bottom. The bottom does have enough of a flap at the bottom that it seals against the ground or floor pretty well.
