Review on Friction Labs Premium Sports Chalk: A Game-Changing Grip Enhancer Endorsed by 100+ Pro Athletes by Kendro Givens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Remains in your hands!

Climbed for about 5 months. I started with the cheap chalk that came with one of my chalk bags and it was fine. Cheap stuff certainly dries out your hands BUT I paint with chalk more often because either the chalk wears off or my hands get sweaty. In addition, I am a beginner with poor grip strength and end up writing too much. And I've found that if you write too much with chalk, everything you do makes everything slippery. Some of my buddies recommended Friction Labs Unicorn Dust and I bought some from Revain. In a nutshell: I love it! No amount of chalk can make up for poor grip strength or lack of stamina, but I think it improved my grip confidence significantly. This chalk is a very fine powder that seems to get into every crevice of your hands and even between your fingerprints, while cheaper crayons just seem to cling to your skin. In addition, the company claims that FL chalk is one of the cleanest, which contributes to its drying and binding properties; I have no reason not to believe it. On the wall I drew with chalk less often because I was sure that a thin layer of this chalk would stay on my hands longer than a few lags.
