BlastSax
In action

BlastSax are an innovative sandless sandbag designed for armed forces and specialist police units worldwide.

They are heat-sealed for space-saving storage and rapid deployment so can be taken to the scene very quickly. Once immersed in water they absorb up to 20 litres and retain it to become an instant alternative sandbag.

BlastSax have undergone tough and demanding tests to prove they are effective at mitigating damage to people and property caused by IEDs, other explosive devices and bullets.

In short, BlastSax have become essential equipment in the battle against international terrorism and for any other military and police tasks where sandbags are needed.
