SURVIVOR Chalk Bag + Chalk Ball + Liquid Grip - Iconic Topographical Map, Draw String Closure, 2 Zippered Pockets, & Brush Holder - Bag for Rock Climbing, Bouldering, Weightlifting, Gymnastics & More

So I got this chalk bag today in the mail which first of all is 4 full days earlier than its supposed to be here so very pleased with the very fast delivery! Ill update this post on Friday as I'll be taking it with me to the gym and I'll let you know how well the liquid chalk and chalk ball are and for the purpose of this review I'll be comparing the Survivor Toto Bag with my Athletrek Chalk Bag. So for starts this in my opinion is a great deal, a chalk bag, chalk bag that's already pre filled by the way, and a nice tube of liquid chalk for under $25, I think it's a great deal esspecially for someone looking for a nice little starter kit for chalk and a chalk bag. The chalk bag itself is and feels very sturdy. I personally love the exterior design and that it has 2 zippered pockets and a brush holder! The pull cord to close the bag works just as expected and shuts very nicely to avoid spills and by far my favorite part of this bag is how big it is, although I love my Athletrek chalk bag and it's a great bag, this chalk bag pulls ahead a bit because the opening is a bit bigger and allows me to easily reach behind me and dump my hands in the bag. The only real "problem" that could be found is that I couldn't fit my phone(Samsung Galaxy S8) in the large zippered pocket but for me personally that's not a problem since I don't take my phone with me on my person when I climb but just for those wondering about the zippered pockets they are pretty large, my phone was just a bit to big so itd be nice to see the same bag revisioned to be say half an inch taller to comfortably be able to fit most phones in its zippered pockets but for me it's not a nessacary feature. Overall, I think this bag has a lot of really good things going for it and as a small company I'm very very satisfied with this bag and I hope they continue to keep doing great work in the future, I'll definitely be looking out for new products from these guys later on, great job overall on a first product!

The chalk bag feels nice and sturdy, and I like the topographic design. My phone doesn't quite fit in the side pockets, but it's not an issue for me. The waist strap is easily adjustable and has a little band to keep the end of the strap from hanging loose. I love that it comes with both a pre-filled chalk ball and liquid chalk, since I've wanted to try those. The chalk ball doesn't give as much coverage as I'd like, but I also have very sweaty hands, so I generally prefer pretty much full coverage. The chalk itself also only sticks to my hands in a thin layer, but there's a decent amount of it, so I'll probably apply generously and refill with my usual chalk brand once it's gone. I like that the liquid chalk dries really fast and is a lot less messy. Once I apply it, I just shake out my hands a little, and voila, dry, chalky hands. The downside is it doesn't stay on long, possibly due to all the sweat, so I often have to reapply between climbs. And the bottle's pretty small, so even though I only need a little each time, it's probably not going to last long. It's nice to chalk up without getting it everywhere for a change though.

Love my new bag! The material is durable enough to withstand scrapes against the ground that happen when your outdoor climbing. The strap fits and adjusts well and there is a band that help prevent the excess strap from getting in the way (something that my previous bag didn't have). The drawstring pulls tight to prevent chalk from falling out, I haven't seen any chalk spill out in my car or in my house. I can feel the liquid chalk bottle in the front pocket while reaching for the dry chalk. Kinda feels like a hindrance, but I just put it in the side pocket since my phone isn't close to fitting in the side pocket anyways. I would use the front pocket for chapstick, small sets of keys, cards, etc. After a couple mutipitches, crackclimbing, and probably me sitting and sliding on it to down climb some boulders for an approach, I dont see any wear or tear on my bag. While doing long multipitches where I carried up a backpack with me, I noticed the chalk bag kept sliding to the front, which was annoying, but I fixed this using a small carabiner (one is included on the liquid chalk bottle) and clipping it to the brush loop and the backpack. This kept the bag exactly where I wanted it for the rest of the climb. The chalk sock comes filled with chalk. It feels like a finecoursed-sandfilled stress ball. When new it doesnt give a lot of chalk, but after massaging it for a little it does great with covering your hands with the appropriate amount of chalk. The dry chalk it comes with feels fine! Good chalk, no complaints can't wait to see how it does in a climbing gym to get a good comparison between this chalk and others

First, the design on the bag makes me feel like I'm someone who climbs mountains legitimately. Love the design. The 2 zippered pockets were things I didn't know I wanted; the one towards the back is pretty large, and can fit multiple everyday things, like keys, wallets, cards no problem! In terms of ease of use; this is a pretty decent, probaly a 6.5-7/10. The drawstring is a bit stiffer, and requires some force to tighten or loosen the main compartment. The outside material is also a bit stiffer, not made from cloth. I think this does contribute to some difficulty in fully extending the drawstring and allowing ease of putting both hands into the chalk bag. Most definitely a minor nitpick. The other thing is that the price of the bag is okay; with the chalk bag, and the liquid chalk price taken out, I think it would be tough to choose this from the other bags on the market. The construction of the bag is great; this is something that I could use for months and years. The strap seems okay and responsive to touch as well. I really like that the zippers are easy to grasp and move as well. Overall, would be able to use this bag for months to years, and pockets are great.

This chalk bag comes with a standard chalk bag, an adjustable webbing hipbelt, a small refillable chalk sock, a small 50mL squeeze bottle of liquid chalk, and a small non-weight bearing carabiner that could be used to attach the liquid chalk to the bag or the bag to a harness if desired. The bag seems to be well-made with no loose threads, busted seams, or obvious defect. It has two small zip-pockets on the front and back that I suppose you could put bandages, keys, some cash/cards, or a small snack bar in. It also has a small loop for a chalk brush. Overall I like the bag, the topo design is pretty cool (would definitely like to see it in a military green maybe). The bag is lined with a less fleecy felt than my Black Diamond chalk bag, which I like because it doesn't cake up as much. I'd say the only minor negative would be that I don't think the chalk sock that comes with the product dispenses a good amount of chalk by simply dipping- I would probably just carry loose chalk or use a different sock. Overall I'd say it's a pretty standard bag but you couldn't go wrong with it and the design is cool

I can’t yet speak for the longevity of this chalk bag, but I’ve used it quite a bit over a few months and for the price, I’m very happy with it. I’m not a serious climber; I climb exclusively indoors at my local climbing gym a couple times per week, although I may do a couple dozen routes per visit, so I would say I’ve already used the bag for a couple hundred routes. The buckle on the belt broke after just a few weeks BUT the seller promptly replaced it! I expected the belt to be low quality from the other reviews and I feel like I got what I expected, but the bag itself seems great. If I really feel like it I could buy just a higher quality belt or more likely I would make one my self for less by buying some better quality material and buckle separately. Although, by the time I spent the money on that perhaps I could have purchased a pricier chalk bag. I see the reviews that mention the drawstring malfunctioning after only a few months, so I have been careful with it because of that and it seems to be fine. The chalk ball wasn’t for me especially since I do routes one after the other and sweat a lot, so I just don’t get enough chalk from it. I honestly might try tying just the chalk ball to my harness just to see how how that works now that I think of it lol. The liquid chalk is great. I’ve been wanting to try some but also haven’t wanted to spend $8-10 on a tiny bottle. I like that it’s so small when climbing though and you can make your own liquid chalk to refill yourself by just mixing chalk and alcohol and that works fine, although liquid chalk manufactures do add one or two ingredients for a better consistency, but you only need a little bit to last a long time so it would probably be worth it to buy large refill bottles if I don’t want to take the time to make my own. Sometimes I just clip the liquid chalk on by itself to climb unencumbered, and sometimes I use both. In short: I feel like I got at least what I paid for, so it deserves five stars for the price. The buckle on the belt is a bit flimsy as expected but the seller promptly replaced it no questions asked. I like using the liquid chalk sometimes and wouldn’t have bought any separately if it weren’t included. I also wouldn’t have spent the money to buy a chalk ball separately, so I’m glad I got to see how I like it. It’s not for me but the quality is fine. I rarely take the time to leave reviews good or bad, but the seller replaced the strap, so I feel it deserves a few minutes of my time to leave a deserved good review. (I was not given a replacement strap for this review; I just felt like writing one. I’m happy with my purchase.

The bag itself feels pretty durable and functions perfectly. It’s lightweight and fits well around my waist when climbing. I like the little pockets that you can store whatever additional goodies you need in. The design on the bag is also really cool. The chalk works great and it’s really a good deal when you buy everything together. There was a mixup on Amazon’s part in which the liquid chalk didn’t arrive, but Survivor’s customer service was great and they quickly sent me the missing chalk!

First of all, great customer service - my first order, the package was ripped open when I got back home from work, and it got stolen... (I don't know this is attractive to package thieves..) I reached out to Survivor, they replied fast, and helped me get a replacement shipped. I got it around two days. Fast, responsive, and solved my problem, thank you! I've now used it for around a little over a month or so, it's a great starter kit because it has all you need, a pre-filled chalk bag, a small bottle of liquid chalk, and two pockets. I put another chalk bag from a friend to compare, it's a little shorter but I actually like it - not as deep to get the chalk, and I really like the design. It's also suitable for gifts to a friend that's thinking about climbing more often. The climbing gym I go to they also offers liquid chalk. Both works great, I usually starts with liquid and use the bag for easy access when I need it. The chalk ball's bag is pretty fine (and it's common) - I've seen a friend use a more net-like bag. You get more chalk at once but usually it's too much. You get a little bit at once for this bag. I have no specific preference. I have a small size phone. I can insert my phone but it won't fit into the whole pocket, I totally don't mind because I personally don't bring my phone with me.
