Review on πŸ§— Noborou Multipurpose Chalk Bag for Rock Climbing, Crossfit, Weightlifting, and Bouldering - Wide Opening, Large Pocket, Adjustable Belt by Bart Elbrink

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good size for big hands

I have been using a Noborou chalk bag for 3 months for bouldering and indoor climbing. I'm 6ft 2" so naturally I have big hands and the hole size for this bag is pretty decent, I don't have to awkwardly move around to write with chalk. a bit claustrophobic. At this point I would recommend just a chalk bucket. The material on the outside seems good enough for indoor use, but I wouldn't take it outside too often in harsh conditions. My last chalk bag was the Metolius Comp Chalk Bag. I got it from REI but the tip snapped and came out after a month of use. So far, Noborou is doing well. I don't like using the chalk bag strap that comes with it so I just use a small carabiner for the brush.. Another review said it wasn't very stiff and I agree. I agree it can stand on its own, as long as you don't have a bunch of things hanging from its hinges, and I don't mind if I'm chalked. It can leak a bit in my bag with my boots, but it's a bit better than my old chalk bag. Also, there is a limit to the drawstring closure mechanisms, so I don't mind Noborou myself, just thought it was worth mentioning. The photos show the LG G8 with a slim body for size reference. It just doesn't fit in the back pocket.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
