Alpine Chalk Bag

Good product - just strap problems

Overall it’s a pretty good product. For my use case it works quite well just the strap that it comes the strap locks but the tends to loosen over time. But I really enjoy all the extra pockets and the set of bungee straps on the bottom. Overall I think that for a more advanced climber this would be a great product. It’s also really helpful as a tool pouch which is why I ended up with 2!

Great bag and love the extra pocket for small items, wish the opening was a little bigger because I sometimes struggle to get my hands in and my hands aren’t even that big. If you have big hands I would definitely recommend something else.

Snacks, keys, phone

This chalk bag is great for reducing the need to carry a backpack or awkwardly overstuffing your pockets. The chalk reservoir doesn't get compressed as bad as my other pocketed chalk bag when the pockets are full. The mesh pocket on the side is only mildly useful though. It would carry a standard sized disposable water bottle, but definitely not a Nalgene. Really it seems best suited to carrying a 12 oz canned beverage if you don't mind cracking a warm one at the summit.

Love this chalk bag. It fits the essentials for grade III rock climbs.

My favorite chalk bag for outdoor climbing especially in alpine terrain. Front zipper pocket easily fits emergency kit: headlamp, knife, friction hitch with carabiner, and mechanical rope clamp (microtrax). Back pocket for wallet and car keys. Size mesh pocket is great for phone (fits regular iPhone, not iPhone max). Basically, I do not use any other chalk outside.

Great Design, But Strap Loosens

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I love this chalkbag - so many pockets and features! It's amazing how many snacks I can pack into the outside pocket, and the inside pocket always holds a little knife and lighter. Sunglasses in the stretchy side pocket, and a layer and/or hat secured to the bottom. Just remember, the more you pack in, the smaller the chalkbag opening becomes, but it's not too bad. I've been glad to have the double-closure buckle a few times, usually when I go to unclip the hip strap on my backpack on a climb... oops wrong buckle, whew. The one downside is the fact that the webbing strap is slippery enough to loosen while climbing. I will be replacing it with an adjustable loop of 6mm cord (probably a good idea anyway, for security and emergency purposes), which renders the safety buckle useless. If this strap material was changed to fix this issue, it would get 5 stars from me.

Didn't know I needed extra storage in my chalk bag until now.

Having a cell phone and snack pockets on your chalk bag is super handy for both lazy gym sessions when you don't want to bring a lot of stuff as well as a short multi-pitch where you know you're going to want a snack and a picture at the top. My go to bag for everything now.

good format

nice format for little multi-pitch . enough storage for snack cellphone keys and water. the only thing a would change is the size adjustable buckle who as a tendency to slip whan the bag is full

Best above the rest

You will see when you start using this little bad boy :)

Using for Treat Bag for pup Training

I use this as a treat bag when training my 2 puppies for Search and Rescue. Perfect size, we have over 500 miles of training with this chalk bag and it seems well made and indestructible!
