Edelrid Chalk Pot – your ultimate boulder buddy

Your answer to a reliable, functional, stylish and featured boulder bag.

A reliably freestanding no-spill chalk pot with bluesign (environmental standard) materials for bouldering? “Sign me up,” said our tester, who has made the Herkules his go-to board climbing and gym pot. This wide-mouth (19cm diameter) bag has a bomber dual closure, with a Velcro sleeve plus roll-top/buckle you can cinch tight. When it’s time to climb, the sleeve rolls down easily to access the 21cm-deep reservoir – plenty deep to coat your mitts.

Other winning features are the paired drag/carry handles, zippered stash pocket, and five vari-sized brush holders, with a stealthy mesh pouch below to anchor them.
