Best chalk bag for sending hard trad?
|
Now that I've gotten your click with an obvious bait title, I'm well aware chalk bags are a matter of personal preference. That said I'm in the market for a new one and if anyone would like to shill for their personal favorite I will now entertain opinions. My only notes on my current Organic bag are that I like that it is somewhat rigid, but don't like that it doesn't seal shut all that well. |

Crown royal chalk bag. Looking good is half the battle, I think gunkiemike has some. |
|
Sukoa chalk bag. One of the few large enough to hold My cellphone in one pocket and a protein bar in the other. |

It's pretty bad when you have to ask which chalk bag to buy. |

This ^^^^^^^ |

Hey, it’s never fun reaching into your chalk bag with your hand taped up and getting it stuck. Having a wide mouth bag is the only thing you need to worry about. |

The guy from Tufa recently shut down the shop for the foreseeable future due to some life changes if I recall correctly, super exciting for him, bummer for us. The mochila is such a slick little pack too. |

I can't speak to the trad bag other than to say one big enough to get your mitts in and out of in a hurry when you're sketching. Back in the day, when I was tough on pimpy routes, I had this black leather Metolius finger dipping sack that was oh-so-stylish but practical too. Quick in and out, only the tips were needed. In your case, same principal: you gotta get the full mitts in and out before you die! |

Stick with Organic. Made in USA. Buy local. No need to get your chalkbag shipped across the ocean wasting fuel and resources when you can support workers and companies stateside. |

Those 8BPLUS chalk bags that are shaped like furry monsters are my go to. They actually hold a good amount with a big enough opening that clinches closed completely. I bought one on a whim and ended up loving mine. I'm partial to the Lilly |
