Drawcord
Advertised as durable, but the drawcord begs to differ. You’d expect a reputable climbing brand like Arc’teryx to nail something as basic as a chalk bag, yet this one falls short. After less than a year of regular use (strictly in a climbing gym), the drawcord snapped, leaving the bag unable to close at all. The bag itself is fine, but a failure in such a critical and simple component really undermines the “durable” branding. For the price and reputation, this kind of premature wear is disappointing.
Great Bag
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] works great, no problems yet, there’s sometimes a little spilling but great size and extremely light
Best chalk bag I've used so far
Best chalk bag I've used. Use it for sport climbing and bouldering. The rigid ring around the opening is super functional and access to chalk is smooth and comfortable. The additional loop by the rear belt loops make it easy to use a carabiner with your harness. I have fairly large hands and went with the large. Something to note: The "Solitude" color is more of a light grey than a white.
Great chalk bag
Love this chalk bag. Bought a medium and large but kept the medium. Medium was the perfect size for me and I didn’t feel like I needed the large. The materials are nice , the drawstring closure is great quality and the belt is comfortable. Has a nice brush loop and looks great overall.
Great For Alpine Climbing
I love this chalk bag for big days in the mountains. Holds a small volume of chalk, Keeps it from spilling when not in use, and has a pretty small profile. The mouth is a little small, so not my go to for gym or cragging sessions.
Good but missing previous version's back pocket
Lightweight and with a simplified closure system. Really missing the back pocket that the previous version had - won't be getting much use outdoors because of the missing functionality.
Need to improve the relaiability
I purchase this chalk bag less than a year and love the shape and the weight but the closure broke less than 10 uses. I still have the old chalk bag and this one is not reliable.
Simple Chalk Bag
Standard chalk bag, good size. I do miss having a small zippered pocket on the chalk bag for finger balms or tape. The strap is much more compassing of different waist sizes.
Great drawcord and perfect size
Interesting update of the Ion Chalk Bag. I like it a lot, just wished they kept the pocket an adjustable brush holder.
Great fit
Great shirt, nice length, beautiful colors. Feels very comfortable
