Black Diamond Mojo Chalk Bag

Almost as essential to your climbing kit as harness and shoes is a chalk bag—without one, you’ll succumb to sweaty hands and suffer the consequences of missed holds. Whether you’re climbing at an air-conditioned gym or a sun-smeared desert crag, a chalk bag will allow you to climb to new heights. We’re big fans of Black Diamond’s Mojo Zip Chalk Bag, as it pairs simple yet bold dual colorways with a classic cinch design. Our testers loved the simplicity of the bag, and the lightweight, like-nothing’s-there feel of the thin waistbelt. The key element of the Mojo, however, is the bag’s zipper compartment—which, as it turns out, is perfect for stashing your key in. 

Bottom Line: A chalk bag is necessary, and the Mojo ticks all of the boxes while adding a touch of flair.
