Subject says it all. Who makes a bag into which you can fit your whole hand? Who makes a bag that will hold an entire block (or two) of chalk?

I have an Asana chalk bag, but I'm not sure which, it's either this or the standard, either way it's big enough for a full block and my xxl large hands-as in my glove size is xxl for mountain biking, which matches my size 14 feet. . .

I second the Asana Biggie my friend has it and you could easily fit 2 blocks of chalk in it. It's almost like a small chalk bucket with a waist strap.

Old revolution bags were big, they probably still have a pretty sizable option. Some of the metolius bags are a good size for a fistin'

Ikea. For off widths, you can just roll around in it before you start.

I've been climbing with a VLINE chalk bag and have been happy with its size.

But we're not talking the Metolius-sized chalk buckets.

I've got a Prana chalk bag that seems pretty massive to me.

Umm,

YOU DO!

That way you can make it perfect!

You know how to sew, right? It's just like climbing!

AND you can pick your favorite theme! (seam?)

Is this now the Mini Bucket?  https://asanaclimbing.com/collections/chalk-bags/products/mini-bucket  Any thoughts on how obnoxious it would be for sport climbing?  I'm not quite a Magnus Mitbø level chalk user, but in the gym I've been liking my routine of using a chalk bucket for pre-chalking before setting off and a chalk bag (DMM trad chalkbag) while on route.  It just would be nice to reduce 2 bags down to 1.  Also - do you happen to know of any Denver retailers that carry it so I can check it out?  Many thanks for your help/advice.

DMM makes a big one I believe they call it the Trad chalk bag. Or marmot makes a multi pitch chalk bag that I’ve heard good things about.

Seriously… up to 5 blocks if you are a hard core abuser.

You wanna go big? I've seen lots of these bags at the crags lately. Fill this with chalk and it will last you at least a week.

I have a giant- ass Voodoo Chalk bag I don't want or need I can sell you cheap.  Definitely would fit two hands and a block or two of chalk.

Thanks all - the answer to this is yes!  Just got it in the mail and I'm loving it.  Definitely big (maybe a little too big) but isn't too too obnoxious. Perfect for what I needed with sport climbing.
