I personally love the aesthetic of this Andean style, unique chalk bag from Evolv. It’s a smaller sized, simple polyester/nylon bag that comes in several different color schematics. We find this option to be a great value buy based on the low price tag and customer satisfaction.
There is no pocket with this chalk bag, so it’s more of a minimalist option if that’s your thing. There is however a quality nylon belt included so you’re ready to climb! The texture of these bags is almost corduroy in nature, and Evolv has them hand woven in the Andes themselves – neat!
