Chalkbags? 8-Aug-2006 At 2:27:03 AM shaft

Message

I recently found myself cursing my one year old chalkbag because it wouldn't open anymore without a little bit of dissection. I looked through all the climbing porn I could get my hands on and came upon this question.

Why is it that no one has every done a review of chalkbags?

I'm sure all of us have gone through a few bags in our time. Is it not a piece of gear? What other gear can you get in so many different styles and sizes? The chalkbag is a bold fashion statement.

The chalkbag is the unsung gear hero. What do you do when your at a crux or your freaking out a little bit? You go straight for the white courage. And what holds that white courage?

Can I get a bag with the draw string on the right, one with a pocket? Are there rain proof ones? What are the different linings about; which one is better for loose chalk? What outside material holds up longer from the dreaded descent scrapes? Which bag(s) allow me to chalk the back of my hand without using the two hand method. What bags are good for people with huge hands? Maybe people want a small bag just for their tips and are concerned about the weight. If I'm a boulderer which bag holds the most chalk without tipping over and has space for multiple toothbrushes and/or broom?

Please Help!
