Chalk bags are pretty straight forward, as the purpose of them is to hold…chalk. Whether it’s a chalk ball, sock, or loose chalk that you are reaching for, chalk bag openings should be the size of your hand allowing easy access in and out whenever you need it. Nobody likes sweaty palms, especially rock climbers. Sweaty hands can mean the difference of peeling off the crux of your current project, and slicking that sloper like you mean business. The opening of the chalk bag should be controlled by draw strings preventing the escape of your chalk. The lining material is usually made out of fleece, which allows the chalk to be trapped and not fly everywhere every time you use it. The fleece also allows you to wipe your hands to get an even layer of chalk before you crush that next crimp.
The cool thing about chalk bags is the customization. There are so many different types of chalk bags it is overwhelming to choose just one. Some climbers have multiple chalk bags for that reason. If you’re an eccentric wild climber, a faux leopard print chalk bag might be the right choice for you. Crave the flavor of the East Indies while climbing?
