Craft Chalk Bag – Perfekt för de höga väggarna

Letar du efter en kritpåse som gör jobbet utan att vara i vägen? Craft Chalk Bag levererar precis det den lovar.
​Varför den pallar trycket:
​Tät stängning: Det absolut bästa är dragskon. När du drar åt snöret så stannar ditt magball (och löskrita) faktiskt kvar i väskan. Inget spill på väg upp för väggen eller i träningsväskan.
​Smidig men rymlig: Designen är "low-profile", vilket betyder att den inte känns klumpig på ryggen när du klättrar. Trots det är den tillräckligt rymlig för att du lätt ska få i händerna när du behöver krita om mitt i ett crux.
​Schyssta detaljer: Insidan i fleece fördelar kritan bra på händerna, och den har en praktisk ögla för borsten.
​Domslut
​Den här påsen passar helt perfekt för de riktigt långa, uthålliga problemen – som till exempel 17-metersväggen på Gasverket där du absolut inte vill strula med kritan halvvägs upp. Prisvärd, pålitlig och funktionell!

Nice minimalistic look

Quality of materials and stitching is good.
It is slightly smaller then I thought, but it not necessary bad thing.
I like that the inside made from different materials: fleece for the main section and smooth for a drawstring closure, so I hope the string will operate smoothly.
There a few things to improve: it is quite hard to seal bag completely, the collar can use just a bit more material; I also would add a small pocket, as I often use it to store a key from a locker.

Hey Fedor, thanks a ton for the thoughtful review! We’re stoked you like the minimalist style and the build quality. We hear you on the sealing and the pocket idea—that’s awesome feedback we’ll keep in mind for future versions. We'll reach out to you separately to see how we can best support you. Enjoy crushing with your new chalk bag and thanks for helping us make our gear even better!

Not terrible, unfortunately not great either…

Man, I had SUCH high hopes for this chalk bag! It looked amazing online and I’ve loved my other Rúngne products. I’ll start with the good, which is that the materials feel super premium and the bag looks great!

Now onto the negatives… mainly that I think the closure system is just wrong all together. First of all, there doesn’t seem to be quite enough material for the “sphincter” of the bag, which means the bag doesn’t shut completely. If I *really* wrench on the draw cord, it will nearly close, but because there isn't enough material for the closure, it really scrunches/collapses the bag in a weird way. This might be normal, but none of my other chalk bags have this problem. Because it collapses so much, I effectively can only put about half the amount of chalk I'd like in the bag because the structure collapsing obviously reduces the volume a bunch. Making the issue even worse, the cord used for the closure is very slick and so the lock has a hard time catching and locking the bag in its closed position. This has (several times) resulted in the bag opening back up again and leaking my chalk all over my car. Arguably the only purpose of a chalk bag is to hold chalk, which this has sort of failed at in my experience :/

Maybe I got a dud unit, but if not I feel like these design issues should be reasonably easy to fix. The closure could be improved by making the "sphincter" fabric thinner and extending it out a bit, and then adding a tiny bit more structure around the opening ring of the bag to keep it from collapsing so much. Bring the drawcord a bit closer to the opening, and then I think it should close no problem. Switch to some grippier cord (like 275 lb paracord) and then it should stay closed a lot better.

I have a couple of other small gripes lsuch as the brush holder being way too big/loose to securely hold any of my brushes, and (way less importantly) a bit of loose stitching on the front that I really don't care about.

At the end of the day, for the price, this chalk bag is unfortunately just way less practical than even my $15 bag that actually stays closed. I'll give it one star for Magnus and one star for the great aesthetics, but have to take three off for it not doing what a chalk bag should do :(

Hey Jack, thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We're sorry to hear the chalk bag didn’t meet your expectations, especially since you’ve had good experiences with our other gear. This isn’t the experience we want anyone to have, and we’re taking your input seriously as we look at ways to improve the design of our bags. We’ll be reaching out to you directly to make things right. Really appreciate you sharing your feedback.

I'm sure it's great

I'm sure it's great though I never received it because FedEx Mexico shitty customer service and the corrupt local regulations. We should ask the custom agent that will keep it.

Very nice bag, stays tight and closed when climbing and holds quite a bit of chalk. It’s been roughly 10 sessions since my purchase and it’s still holding up very well. Good product

Great quality, looks great, and has a larger diameter making it easier to reach for chalk (especially those with larger hands)!

Love that its a bit bigger than other chalk bags so finally my hands fit in it really well. Looks a bit goofy when closed

Unfortunately dissapointing

I just got my chalkbag and I really like the colour and material of it but I just really dislike the way the bags closes. It deforms and tightens up the whole bag and the design is just very bad. I would say there are better chalk bags out there for cheaper.

Hey Tobias, thanks a lot for sharing your feedback! Our chalk bag uses a drawstring closure to help keep chalk secure and prevent spills, while still being lightweight and easy to carry. That said, we totally hear your point and will raise this with our product development team as we’re always looking for ways to improve future designs. We really appreciate your support and honest input, it helps us get better!

Awesome Product!

The chalk bag was for my boyfriend and he loves the color and like how the opening is wider than other chalk bags. It’s really annoying when you’re in desperate need of chalk but you’re struggling to fit your hand in the bag. So having the wider opening is nice. He like the simple design. Neutral to pair with different outfits

Great.

My old chalkbag wasn't large enough for my big hands to fit in it and take chalk. This one is way better, I don't have this problem at all and its design is really nice.
Love it.

Best MagBag

I truly feel the power of this bag when it is on my waist. With this power alone, I went from a V7 climber to, only days later, sending V9 climbs without my shirt which magically disappeared once I started the send. Beautiful bag, great quality, ample handspace for chalk efficiency, and overall quality bag.
