Can it hold sand bags which are used in other weight vests instead of metal plates?

It can hold really small sand bags if you want. The pockets are rather small. I use small diving weights in mine because I had some laying around but if instead of buying something, I would recommend loading up a cloth pouch with a bunch of pennies. It's a great vest.

Yes...but check my review to read what the actual dimensions and volume of the pockets are?my guess is that it can hold bags but you won't be able to add much weight that way..sand is not a good choice for this vest.....if you want to add 50 lbs or anything close to thatagain read my review

It will hold the sand bags but you'll be lucky to cram 25 pounds of sand bags in it much less 50. If you want a 50 pound vest this one is a bad choice. MIR sells a 60 pound vest on amazon that comes with the weights. I just went with that one. Its a bit pricey but it's worth it.

I've never tried it but I don't think so - I went to Discount Tire and purchased their throwaway lead weights - works well.

I've been using sandbags from ankle weights like stated by other, as well as two dive weights. Each of those is a four lb square about 3x3 inches.....It's a tight fit but works.The vest is sturdy enough to handle 50 lbs but I haven't gone above 40 with mine.

I actually bought a set of ankle weights and used those, but could barely get 15 pounds in.

The vest has a zippered front and back compartment which I use to carry my wallet, iPhone and keys as well as metal rods from ankle weights and rolled quarters for weights. It should be able to carry sand bags no larger than the size of a fist. Probably 2 front n 2 back will fit. You can also use ziploc freezer bags n fill'em with sand to form-fit into the zippered compartment. The MIR vest is very sturdy n well made. Hope this helps.

If you can secure the tent to the weights it should work if you fill them with sand or gravel.

An alternative to a belt is to purchase a weighted vest or, more cheaply, use a sturdy (i.e., appropriately weight-rated) backpack and load it with weight plates or some heavy object(s).

It does have sandbags and anchors which would probably hold it. I don't know for sure

It should be possible but you have to keep two things in mind. 1) Proper support as the cart is made of aluminum. You would have to add some additional support perpendicular to the "bracket". 2) You do not want the bracket to protrude from the cart when you are on the beach or you will be busting up your legs. This company also makes an assembly that does what you want already. Sorry but cannot find the web site info right now.Even a baggage carrier that is readily available would work.Good luck.Good luck

I've never tried, but I wouldn't see why not, I think they use artificial "sand" as weights in there.

it should fit almost any plate carrier/vest. and even if it doesn't fit perfectly, it has two sets of MOLLE straps, one pair on top and one pair on the bottom, so that even if it just hung by the top pair it should be on there well enough and you could put a belt through the bottom pair if that'd be more comfortable/secure.

Yes, they will, but I would not buy them. I am not happy with mine. The first couple times I used them I thought I liked them, but the sides don't fit over them well at all, and I pot one set on top of the other one day (while they had water in them) and the top one fell over and the joining screw broke off. Unrepairable or useable. They also leak if you use water and they tip over. All in all, my weight lifting weights worked better. I bought sand bags for half the price to replace them.

I would think you could, but beware, as the quality is lacking...these bags are made out of very fine, very thin mesh.

Yes, you HAVE to fill it with one or the other. Sand is going to be heavier. If you buy the bags at Home Depot or somewhere, have them sit out in the sun for a day to dry out. Mine were slightly damp, and it took about 2 hours to fill the damn thing!!! Even with all this weight, it still practically falls over if you're doing a push kick or side kick or something. Punches, no problem though.

I bought a bade from Home Depot to hold it. It's basically weight. You can always use sand bags

the holes are for standard plates not olympic size. i think it would be awkward to use with the 25lb standard weight plate because of the diameter of it.

It wil hold other 1/4" mats. The bottom holder is too small for 2 mats rolled together and probably too small for the thicker mats.

Probably would work, just remember that the bracket the bags attach to provide stabilization as well as support for the bags and if I recall the assembly process, connect the top and bottom poles. So you will have that middle section on your assembled piece with or without the bags attached.

There is a hole at the end of the pole for a hook & bag (not provided). But for a 43" reflector, I don't believe you need to worry about a sandbag or counterweight.

any sporting goods outlet, no special "weights" are required. You can use standard plates (1") or small Olympic weights (2") even tried the square shaped lead weights for SCBA diving belts. The weights are secured with several velcro straps so you can adjust the total weight and configuration as you wish, just be careful as mentioned because the weights need to be secured tightly or it will damage the vest. There are four separate placement location, two on the front and two on the back. It is a good idea to take the vest with you to the store. Hope this helps

Whatever sand does get into the bag will fall out through the mesh. I find it easier to shake the sand out of the mesh bag than to empty your cloth bag and then shake it out. The only downside of this bag is that it is heavier than I thought it would be and the material is a little rough on your shoulder and arm if you're not wearing a cover up.
