FAQs
What type of chalk is recommended for this bag?
This bag is designed for standard climbing chalk (magnesium carbonate). It works effectively with both loose chalk and chalk balls.
How do I clean the fleece lining?
Turn the bag inside out and use a soft brush to remove chalk. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.
What are the dimensions of the opening?
The bag features a 12.5 cm wide opening.
Can I wear the bag with or without the belt?
Yes, you can use the included carabiner to clip it onto your harness or climbing gear, or use the belt loops with the provided belt for a secure waist fit.
Is the bag suitable for children?
While sized for adults, the ease of use and secure closure can make it manageable for older children or teens learning to climb.
What is the material of the bag?
The bag features a soft pile fleece lining and a durable exterior, handcrafted for climbing.
Does it come with chalk?
No, the chalk is not included with the bag.
Troubleshooting
Chalk is not distributing evenly.
Ensure the fleece lining is clean and free of excessive buildup. Gently agitate the chalk inside the bag before use.
Drawstring is difficult to close.
Check for any debris or chalk obstructing the drawstring channel. Smooth out the fabric around the opening before tightening.
Bag feels too stiff around the opening.
The stiffened rim is designed for stability. With regular use, it will conform slightly to your preference while retaining its structure.
Brush holders are too tight or loose.
The holders are designed to fit most standard brushes. If too tight, gently stretch the fabric. If too loose, consider using a smaller brush or adding a small loop of tape to the brush handle.

Care: To maintain the bag's performance and hygiene:
