This type of Ordnungsmasken is named after the bulging bags (Sack) which they are swinging in their hands, while they are scurrying along the front of the spectators. The bag, fitted with solid handle, is used to drive the spectators to the side of the streets to make room for the circle of Roller and Scheller. Traditionally the bags are filled with dried corn leaves so as not to hurt anyone. There are three varieties of Sackner:
He wears the mask of an old, emaciated peasant woman. On his head he wears a white or black Fatzelkappe (cap) traditional for the Oberinntal region. The pointed cap is made of innumerable twisted fringes. The name of the figure is derived from Wiflig, a traditional skirt which is made of up to 16 meters of cloth arranged in countless pleats. In the procession the Wifligsackner goes into a spin if the crowd permits it, so that his skirt rises up horizontally offering a glimpse of his lace underbreeches.
He is the male counterpart of the Wiflig. His dress is that of a peasant boy, short leather trousers, a loden jacket, a Tyrolean hat with feather. A real eye catcher are his white underbreeches.
He wears a grand, pointed hat, looking like a tower (Ture in the local dialect). His billowing harem pants, with their colorful stripes in complementary colors (eg red and green or black and white) remind of a harlequin. The cloth he wears over his shoulder is of the same color, underneath it he wears a loden jacket, called Tuxer.
