      Comments about Mad Rock Koala Chalk Bag:

      This is my first chalk bag. It closes very tightly, so it hasn't leaked. I haven't had any problems with it yet, but the other reviews make me wonder how long it will last.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Mad Rock Koala Chalk Bag:

      After 8 months of consistent climbing, the plastic clamp on the drawstring broke. Based on the rest of the reviews, this is not an individual issue. In addition, I have had several instances where the belt clip becomes undone during climbs. Once the chalk bag even landed on my belayer's head! Fortunately, this was in an indoor 40 ft wall, not an outdoor 100 ft sport climb. Do yourself a favor and go for the higher quality bags.

        Comments about Mad Rock Koala Chalk Bag:

        Great for the climber who knows that the expensive bags really don't offer that much more. It comes with the waistbelt for non-harnessed climbs. Has a brush holder. And is stylish

        When left un-tightened, it offers a little more chance for chalk spillage, but not much. Pulls and seals tight when moving from route to route to prevent any spills whatsoever.

        Great if you want to get a cheap one and keep it. Go for it!

        Comments about Mad Rock Koala Chalk Bag:

        Plastic part on drawstring broke after several weeks of almost daily use. I would recommend this bag for someone who goes climbing every once in a while. However, if you climb frequently get a better bag.

          Nice chalk bag for the price. No issues with it at all except maybe it could be slightly larger. Economical bag.

          Comments about Mad Rock Koala Chalk Bag:

          This product sells for less than other chalk bags for a reason. It is made of cheap equipment. The plastic piece that connects the ends of the drawstring broke after three weeks of climbing and the friction adapter on the drawstring broke on the fourth week. It fits my hand well, but chalk spills out all the time when doing aggressive, dynamic moves. I prefer a stiffer chalk bag, but this one is flimsy and unable to stand on its own. I am definitely returning it to REI and getting a better one. Thank God for REI's good customer care.
