too small

this chalk bag seemed to have a solid construction however it was really small it would hardly hold the chalk ball so I got a Petzl Koda instead and that bag is nice and big

I really like the material of this bag and the size. Colors are bright and the belt works great. The pull cord is a little weak and it is hard to get the bag to close all the way, you really have to crank on it if you don't want chalk all over in your gear bag.
Nice bag for big hands

Love the solid top ring to keep the bag nice and open... and the cinch pulls down nice and tight so I don't have chalk all over the inside of my backpack.
I prefer this bag over my Prana chalk bag because the Dead Bird bag fits my large hands well.
Great Feel!

Okay, I've had this chalk bag for a few months now, and I have really enjoyed it. This chalk bag fits my hands perfectly, but remember that I'm only fourteen years old. It looks nice on the outside, and on the inside it feels really nice. All of the Black Diamond and Organic chalk bags that I've used have a really weird feeling on the inside. On those, it feels like a wool blanket on the inside. But with this one, it has none of that and fells very smooth on the inside of it. The belt is very nice and fits even around my tiny waist. The only complaint that I have is that clipping it to your haul loop with a non-locker is a little awkward, but that doesn't affect me because I don't do that. I really think this is a great purchase if you're going to get serious about climbing like I have.
OK

It's too small for my liking and I have tiny hands. So i turned into my gym bag. It's a nice looking bag though.

Great for chalking up your fingertips, pretty useless if you need chalk anywhere past the second knuckle.
If the belt is cut off, can the bag still...

If the belt is cut off, can the bag still attach nicely to the haul loop?
sam addington
Member since
not particularly, see when the webbing is gone all you have is the plastic ring, my best idea is a small biner through the plastic loop then the haul loop, but because of the angle the loop on the bag is at the bag will be turned in a weird way. the webbing runs through the loop parallel to your body whereas a carabiner would be perpendicular, making the bag turn sideways. so id say to just use the belt or be creative to keep that bag facing the right way, theres no shame with modifying some of your gear, just be careful if you want your warranty
Awesome chalk bag

Not Durable, Doesn't Close all the Way
TNFGUY

This bag serves its purpose well. I don't have very large hands, so it does fit me fine.
This bag does not close well. I really have to pull on the draw string in order to prevent chalk from spilling out. After about a month of use, that lead to the grommet that the drawstring goes through breaking off. There is a plastic piece inside of the bag that the drawstring is fed through that came out as well. Now, in order to close it, I have to push this piece back through the hole, and pull on one side of the drawstring to tighten it.
All of the Arc'teryx bags look like they have the same design for the drawstring closure.
I plan on replacing this and going with a different brand bag in the future.

Good chalk bag, looks flashy

In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this is a great little chalk bag. I have pretty small hands though, so for the average sized guy I would agree with the other comments and say go a size up. The plastic ring at the top gives it some nice support and helps keep it open, and the draw string closes it nice and tight so you wont be getting chalk all over your bag or whatever. My only complaint seems to coincide with everybody elses the end of the strap must be cut to remove the belt. Other than that, awesome.
I like it, even for fat hands

This is a big improvement over my initial floppy starter chalk bag. The ring on the the top gives it enough structure to leave it open while climbing and not have to worry about dumping. It is a bit snug, but I have pretty wide hands its no more than a very minor problem.
Fine bag

This thing gets the job done. Tough material with sturdy ring to keep it open. Mine is the older version without the belt loop problem mentioned in previous comments, which from the looks of it and review of comments is better than the current design. Anyway, it's a chalk bag. It holds chalk, you can get your hand into it while it's held open, it closes to prevent spillage, and it looks cool with the arc'teryx skeleton logo. If the price were half, it would be perfect.
good stuff

nice lil chalk bag if you got small hands. it's very durable and definately the best looking one on the market in my opinion. But I do wish the belt could be taken off with something other than scissors:( and for that reason I give it only 4 stars.

Oh and there's a lil loop on the back that can hold a pencil or whatever your heart desires
Pretty Good

I love the arc'teryx bags overall. They have great designs and actually look good unlike many chalk bags. The c40 is a pretty good size, I probably should have gone with a c50p, but the c40 was all that was in stock so I just went with it. I definitely recommend that if you use a chalk sock, use a small one, if you use a larger design it can be a little tighter than ideal for the bag. Overall, this bag is perfect for people with small to medium hands and want a smaller bag for bouldering or sport climbing.
