REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

Of all the brands I have tried, I like this chalk the best. It's fine consistency is lump-free; so I just pour it into my chalk bag and go.

The first time I used it, it felt so soft that I thought it might not be as absorbent, but by the end of my climb, I found I preferred it.

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

Chalk sticks well and it's not grainy, so you can use less at a time. Bought this about 8 months ago and I still have a little more than half the container left. I use it indoors and out. Only bad thing is because its so sticky it gets on your clothes easily, but it causes no harm.

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

I live in Dallas, TX, which means that I am climbing indoors for all but a half dozen or so trips a year. That said, I have been climbing 3+ days a week for 2 years now and would consider myself a very experienced climber. I previously used the standard Metolius Super Chalk, although after going through 2 bags where they messed up the formula and made the chalk almost unusable I vowed to no longer give them my business. Enter: Bison chalk. First of all, the container design makes it MUCH easier to pour into a chalk pot/bag, and as a result less chalk (if any) is spilled in the process. The chalk itself has a consistency similar to flour. Compared to Metolius, it sticks to my hands much better and I don't have to re chalk nearly as often (perhaps 2-3 times as long between chalking.) I'd say you're crazy if you think one chalk will help you perform better than another, but for my money this chalk is a much better value.

Service and delivery comments:

No complaints, picked up at REI store along with other items.

Good finely ground chalk

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

Bought this chalk based on the few reviews here and I haven't been disappointed. It is finely ground which I find works well for me. It is a little messier but I'm not really concerned with having a little bit of chalk on my clothes, it dusts right off.

On the wall it's kept my fingers nice and dry and unless the humidity is outrageous I can chalk up at the bottom of the route and be good to go all the way to the top.

Overall I'm pleased with this chalk and thanks to the amount you get, I should have enough to last me for quite a while!

Comments about Bison Designs Competition Chalk:

Iv used a number of chalks and i find this to work the best. Iv used it indoors/outdoors for bouldering sport and top roping as well as on my fingerboard. I feel like i dont have to use as much chalk as i do with other types of chalk
