Great bag but won't last a long time

a year ago
Chalk bag is a nice size and I could pretty much just dump an entire pack of chalk in it and never have to worry about refilling. After six months though the closure at the top snapped and now the magnets don't line up so every time I put the bag down it spills chalk :/ probably wouldn't recommend for this reason
Q: Pros:
A: Big, nice pockets, pretty durable
Q: Cons:
A: Closure system, plastic rim

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great bag but magnetic closure might break

Pretty good and has a lot room for chalk and packs up nicely. Only problem is the magnetic closure thing broke into 3 pieces but it still closes. Other than that I like it.

not worth it

a year ago
always bought a lot of clothing from arcteryx. great bag but not worth it for the price. i got the black bag and it came with scratches. giving it 3/5 stars for the size of the bag and the magnetic closing system. customer service sucks at reaching back aswell so be aware of that when trying to exchange/refund.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Best Chalk Bucket Money Can Buy

a year ago
After a few months of use, I’m extremely satisfied with the quality and overall usability of this chalk bag. It was my first bucket-style bag and I wouldn’t buy any other one. The outer material is super tough, and I’ve never had any issues with the zippers or top clip. Looks awesome in black too.

Love the Magnetic Closure

This chalk bag is a gift sent from the heavens. The magnetic closure makes it stand out from all of the other brands. It has enough space to hold my phone, wallet, watch and keys. It latches together very well as well!!

Yes, I recommend this product.

Great product. Absolutely loved everything about it. Until after 6 months when the hardened magnetic piece at the top snapped and i feel it every time i grab chalk. Even tho it works still it is really unsatisfying.

Awesome!

a year ago
Chalk bucket? I saw the potential of this to become a crossbody bag. Long story short, I cut the ski loop off of my Quintic 28, cut in into two, and sewed them into the Ion bucket. I can now hook up whatever shoulder or waist strap I want. It’s now my favorite crossbody bag. I love the huge logo and all of the storage space. The zipper pull is about 2” long which makes it very easy to grab and pull.
Q: Pros:
A: Great size, huge logo
Q: Cons:
A: Where’s the carry handle or strap?
Q: Activity
A: Hiking

Yes, I recommend this product.

Luxurious

Excellent pot for those that just want something a little extra. Has all the essential bells and whistles, keeps chalk inside, and feels good to use. Added plus from the ageing that occurs to the canvas, which makes each bag unique. Reflective logo is a nice touch. Fleece lining works as intended, and is also nice to the touch. I will keep this one for the gym.

Great bucket

a year ago
Great bouldering bucket, was a lot bigger than what I imagined and bigger than most buckets I’ve seen other people use. Inside of the bucket is lined with soft material and I Love the magnetic closure, so far so good. Big fan of the zippered pockets in front to store phones and headphone. Wish there was a little strap or something on the side to attach brushes!!

Great Bouldering Bag

a year ago
Just got this in the Canvas colorway and it has been incredible so far. The bag can accommodate a large amount of chalk; I put 340 grams of FrictionLab'sGorilla Grip and there is a ton of space left. Both pockets can be filled with a lot of items (Zippered pouch could probably fit any smartphone), the magnetic closure is strong, and the clip that keeps the bag closed is surprisingly effective. If I could give it one and a half gripes it would be that it would be nice to have a handle to carry the bag while its fully closed and the canvas colorway is a little darker than the stock photos. Highly recommend!
Q: Pros:

the only chalk bucket you'll ever need

2 years ago
hands down the best chalk bucket i've ever used. love the huge capacity, and how it's fleece lined (for softness and to minimize clouds of chalk when opening). zip pocket on the front fits an iphone 13 pro in a case no problem, pocket on the back has multiple interior slots for chalk brushes or whatever else. padded base provides good structural integrity. magnetic closure is easy to operate and super satisfying. more expensive than other chalk bags, but for good reason - worth every penny.
