Super Chalk is like a government genetically engineered towel.

"What it would feel like to be way, way too dry? I'll tell you something: You don't want to know." -South Park

That's it. I'm off the sauce. Super Chalk dries out my skin too much. If I use it outside during the summer, my skin starts to hurt before I'm even tired. If I use it inside the gym during the winter - Game Over. My skin will hurt, I'll get splits in the joints of my fingers and I'm much more likely to split a cuticle on the side of my thumbnails.

I ended up giving my bag of super chalk to a friend because I just couldn't use it without skin pain. He does things with this chalk that I can't even get into in a website review, with no ill effects. Proud.

I'll give this chalk 5 stars because it does what climbing chalk is supposed to do: keeps your hands dry. I'm docking it 1 star because the drying chemical they use irritates the shit out of my skin and that makes me sad.

Try it. I seem to be in the minority with my delicate constitution.
