There are too many to choose from and I can no longer find the energy to thumb gear catalogs (that's either a real good sign, or a real bad one...).
I am picky about my chalkbags, which is the reason I need help. I need ALL of the following characteristics:
1. Big opening and bog body (large hands). I don't want to have to force my hand into the bag. I have x-large hands, can't even fit a large glove on (its WAY OJ!)
2. Deep - with my hand in the bottom of the bag I want my wrist bones down in there too.
3. Zipper pouch/compartment on the bottom.
4. Decent draw string closure.
5. Price - middle to lower tier.
That's it! Color, fabric, make - all secondary.
But I'd buy American if given the choice!

ps. Pictures of recommends are appreciated, as are links to a catalog.

Spin-off site for Fish. Russ makes AWESOME stuff. Not sure about the zipper closure.

Funky stuff. I have one and my wife has one. Well built, not sure if it meets your size criteria but it is not small by any means. Also, no zipper on mine, but I get the idea that they will do custom stuff if you ask.
Good luck!

Thanks. Cool stuff, but not a zippered compartment amongst the lot, so far as I can tell.
That's the feature lacking from my current, otherwise acceptable, chalk bag.

LOl! That is a large mouth bass of a chalk bag. But it doesn't appear to have a zippered ass pouch.
Who's ass is that anyway?

This was all I wanted with mine too. I ended up just having to go to my gym, and scrounge in their old lost & found stuff. Guess what, it was the 15 year old chalk bag that was simple, had a pocket (big enough for a knife and rap rings), and didn't look like neon vomit.
Or you could just staple a sock to your ass every time you go out. This would be the funniest, and more satisfying for my personal amusement.

I like this one:
http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/climb/chalk/chalk-bag-with-zippered-pocket
only because the zipper is more robust than the zippers on the equivalent metolius/mad rock/verve ones. The mad rock and verve chalk bags have particularly flimsy zippers

I second the Metolius Stash Bag
although at $25, it might not meet your price criteria.
Another choice is the Black Diamond Chalk Bag. The pocket is on the back rather than the bottom and isn't quite as capacious, and I don't think the bag is as big either. It's about $2 less than the Metolius Stash.
In the smaller range, Verve makes a very nice chalkbag
with a zipper pocket which, at $17.50, is the cheapest alternative of these three. But the bag might be a bit small for big hands.

Actually (except for price) the $35 chalkbag you were making fun of in another thread--is perfect for you.
It's huge and has a zippered pocket.

$20.90 for the Kreig is the same as the Metolius here: http://www.altrec.com/...kbAlClfzltCgtzkLC_zT
$20.99
I'd go with Majid and ask Fish for a zippered one. Fish always sends me more shit than I order and pay for....Like you, a zipper is mandatory as I keep a mini-headlamp in the zippered flap.
The only advice I can offer is do NOT buy a Red Chili "cargo" chalk bag.
I bought one at an REI sale for like a ridiculous $3.83 or something. The opening is an awesome size as the zippered pocket shares space with the chalk and is separated by the liner, so it has all kinds of room if you keep the chalk size to a minimum. Yet the inner bag leaks chalk dust into the zippered opening, so pulling out anything is always a chalky affair. Bit smaller than you want, I'd give it a small/medium to medium size rating.

In fact - if you do go with the Fish option, I'll buy a zippered one off of him as well, all his shit is so well made. A good one of these should keep you happy for the rest of your life, I shouldn't have cheaped out. $20 is less than I spend on beer or porn some nights, it's nothing, but now I have to look at this damn red chili and shake my head every time I go out.

Evolve makes a nice bag. I have had mine for a couple years. It holds alot of chalk and there is no tring to stuff your hand in a tiny hole. That was a pet pieve of mine. Plenty of wrist coverage and a draw cord to pull it closed. No complaints from me on this 1. There is also a space for a brush I dont feel like down sizing the damn photo I took. Simple lazyness http://www.rei.com/product/751746

Sorry dude, but it's Lame lame Lame. "My biggest complaint is that since it's constructed of two layers of porous material, it will make big puffs of chalk if I don't handle it gently, even if it's closed, because the chalk has worked into the outer layer of fabric."

For a while, Organic was making a chalk bag they'd dubbed the Bob bag, purpose built for Bob Scarpelli's hands. It didn't have a zippered pouch, unfortunately, but it fit 4.5-camalot-is-perfect-fists-sized hands up above the wrist.
You could always email Josh and see if he's still doing it. Or contact Russ with Fish. Either one would probably custom build it for a little extra.

Damn! That's a really nice chalk bag. I'd say I'm surprised by it but I'm not. It's the same one I have. Very nice product too.
Dingus I can't get the porno to fit in the zipper though. Cannibus is okay but it gets kind of crumbly. I once tried snorting but got the chalk confused with the other stuff...
Now I just put keys in there. I got tired of the keys jingling on my harness.
I think we should all suggest what goes in the zipper too. Since it's Dingus *wild* guesses are probably appropriate as well.
I'm betting on a rubber glove that he found in the library under the candlestick while playing clue with his first girlfriend.

I care. The crumblies loose their zest much faster then their non-crumbled cousins. Drying out degrades the contents as well. The stuff is fantastically expensive and must be handled with care. Until recently this stuff cost more than gold... literally.

Cammie I appreciate that but I already have one of those. Two of them actually. They were made for me personally, about 15 years ago. I put one away immediately and used the other one till I used it up. Then I remembered its mate so some 11 or 12 years later, about 8 years after my friend gave up the business and went to work for Home Depot, I started using my NEW 12-year old chalk bag.
Its the one I use right now.
It has no zipper. That's its one lack. Plus I'd like to keep this one as a a momento.
Anyway, I totally appreciate the offer, but its the zipper pouch that calls me!

Nope.
Ever since my jeep was broken into last spring and the contents cleared out (climb and back country ski gear) I have had a serious problem with completing a purchase.
I can't bring myself to thumb catalogs. And even though my insurance will make me whole with replacement cost, I have yet to replace all those stolen items,
It really took the wind out of my gear whore sails for some reason.
Maybe I'm depressed.
Self-medication.... WHERE'S MY MEDICINE!!??

I really hope there is a special place in hell for people who do stuff like that. Theft is the most cowardly act on earth.
Sorry, just a bit angry about that one... I hate thieves and for my own reasons. I used to have quite a bike, it was insured too but not at cost to replace. I lost out on a memorable bike, hand built frame just for me that I'd spent hours building, tweaking and tuning. That's lame.

Sorry to hear about the Jeep Dingus.
Can't bring yourself to buy new gear, huh. Sorry I have NO IDEA what that is like. Although I can understand being disheartened.
Best of luck with restocking. Take your medicine and go searching. In my experience I can stare at anything while on "medicine."

I'm in the same boat. I'm upgrading my bag with something that I can stash a couple of bits and pieces in. Knife (trango pirhana), maillon or rap ring (maybe, maybe not), and a bit o prussic cord.
Top ones on my list so far:
DMM Strone: I might be making a DMM order anyway. Could throw this on top
Petzl Kodapoche: Agree with Dingus about the logo. I can't think of a good way to write in the "R"
BD bag w/ pocket: I don't know why, but something about this bag irritates me. I think it's because it's pretty much the same bag that comes with intro packages, just with a pocket
Krieg bag: Interesting. I like the look of those. Anyone know how big the pockets are?
Arc'teryx c30p/c50p: It would match my harness. I can't decide whether or not that is actually a good thing. It's also irritating that there is no convenient way to attach the bag to the harness without getting creative
Verve bag: Same with the krieg bags. How big?

Dingus
You might try Ragged Mtn in NH ( 877-772-4433). Their web site shows only small ones now, but I have seen larger ones there in the past, and purchased one a couple of years ago.
Nylon (weight ~ light pack cloth), diameter almost 5", length ~9", pile in bottom half, zipper pocket on bottom.
I think I paid ~$10, probably on sale.

I have this theory that whenever anyone asks for the best of the best or exceptional examples or the most highly recommended things on any internet thread, the eventual result is a list of everything. So if you don't like flipping catalog pages, fer god's sake buy a damn chalk bag before every flippin' bag ever made shows up in this thread!
