Description
Hug it, stand up, walk
The Husafell Stone is a 186 kg (410 lb) block of basalt in Iceland – and the reason this one has its name. The bag takes the idea along, including the detail that makes the lift what it is: it has no handles. You squat down, wrap both arms around it, pull it into your chest and stand up. From there, your hug is the only thing holding it. Every metre runs through core, back and forearms – let the tension go and the bag slides, and the set is over. The shape plays along: wider at the top with a slight indent, tapering towards the bottom, modelled on the stone. For strongman training, for competition, and for any box that wants one station in the WOD where nobody can talk their way out.
Khaki, zip, hook-and-loop
The shell is hard-wearing fabric in khaki olive, with black binding along every edge. A zip runs right around the top, and over it sits a strap with a hook-and-loop closure that covers the zip and holds the bag shut on top of it. The size is printed large on the side panel, the cross equip logo in dark grey on the front – so you don't have to read a label to know which bag you just pulled out of the corner. Empty, the shell weighs less than a kilo: tip it out, fold it up, take it along. If you haul equipment to events, fill it on site.
Five sizes, two filler materials
The bag ships empty – what goes in is your call. Filled with Sand 25 kg washed, every size reaches its rated weight; with 25kg Rubber Crumbs - Gummi Granulat you land at a good 40 per cent of that, but nothing dusts while you fill. So the same shell gives you two weights: the 200 lbs comes in at 90 kg with sand and around 37 kg with crumbs. We weighed the figures in the table, we didn't calculate them.

If you want the Husafell carry, take the bag – the shape leaves you no other position, and you can drop it without damage. If you want the all-rounder for cleans, ground-to-shoulder and throws, the Strongman Sandbag is the tool for the job. Plenty of gyms have both.

Customer reviews
No handles – that's the whole point. On a Husafell carry there is nothing to compensate with: arms around the bag, core tight, walk. We kitted out the Swiss Throwdown with them, and it was the station people talked about afterwards. If you're starting out, don't take the biggest size. Take the one you can carry twenty metres – and then twenty more.
