Can be used in combination with chalk. Eliminating moisture is the most desirable effect.

That can happen with any product.
Our testimony is that it is used in 18 countries world-wide for all sports where moisture is a problemIn reply to: with the hands and or feet.

Good inquiry! I missed those sports. Must have had another senior moment.
No just for sweaty hands or to repel rain.

i love your website: "Tite-Grip, Loved by Pole Dancing Experts around the world"
this is probably an important use - the last time i was as a titty bar there was a woman who came out after each dancer finished her routine to give the pole a quick treatment with spray n wipe. this could well make the pole a bit slippy. definite health and safety issue.

Try "Dri-Off" Gel. Advertised to dry off your hands, feet, underarms, and skinfolds. You are better off not thinking about the last area..... but it really does work.
There is a feature in the current Dead Point Magazine (deadpointmag.com) about a climber-Nick Duttle?-who has Hypohidrotic Ectodermal dysplasia-he has no sweat glands and has to spray his hands with water to get friction.

That would have to be a terrible condition to have and I can relate to his problem. Probably has to keep is skin well with moisturizing lotions.
I'll check out the Dri Gel.

Mammut doesn't specify that it eliminates perspiration, so I'm not sure of their ingredients.
Our product has 18 FDA approved ingredients and it blocks the sweat pores so it practically eliminates the need for chalk, if that is what you use chalk for is sweaty hands.
Their product is more expensive and doesn't list the amount of each tube so I can't compare the cost per oz.

Some of the ingredients: Aluminum chlorohydrate, silica, talc, kaolin, just to name a few of the 18.
The aluminum is found in almost all deodorants and has been used for decades and I haven't seen any one develope cancer from it.
Now for the air we breathe and cigarettes and plastic from drinking water bottles, benzene inside our hot cars is another story and all are carcinogenic.
We all have a choice in products we use and that is our decision. Choose wisely.

uhh, i'll just stick with magnesium carbonate. at least i know what's in it. plus i can dip the old boulder brush in the bag and dry off those lil' nubs when i need it. putting handwarmers in the chalk bag when bouldering or climbing in the cold... yea, just so many uses. so i'll have to opt out

You have taken the myth that aluminum causes Alzheimer's (which has been well studied and shown with little doubt to be nothing more than a myth) and transposed it to causing cancer.
This is an impressive level of idiocy.
I can't say anything about the other ingredients in this product, but aluminum is not one you need worry about.

My fault. I did conflate cancer with Alzheimer's; perhaps the better question would have been to ask if aluminum type products were used at all. I have personal concerns about using it.
The causal link between Alzheimer's and aluminum is controversial. I'm wary of your statement that it is simply a myth and well-proven to be a myth. But, to explain my stance, I also avoid BPA and other, 'questionable products' even though the causal link there is not definitive either.
PS. You're an ill-mannered douchebag. I was going to PM that to you, but I changed my mind. Sorry about the thread drift.

Next time I'm on a project of mine, 60 ft up on one of the many crux moves, hanging from a mono and barely a smear, I'm gonna reach behind and dig for my tube of grip rite, and then attempt to apply it on both hands somehow. A little research into climbing, and the practical uses of your product for the sport would make more sense. Through that research you will quickly learn that you probably wasted your time here. It might not be your fault, the evening community college you hail from probably doesn't teach proper market research.

I hate to inject some seriousness into this hilarious thread, but tite-grip is meant to be used differently, not like chalk: you put it on your hands at the beginning of the day, rub it in, let it dry, and it is good for several hours. You do not put it on your hands mid-climb.
I have been using it for couple years, and it completely substitutes for chalk in my case. I still have chalk in my chalkbag, but most of the times I don't even bother to open up my chalkbag for the entire day, it's more of a back-up for my partners who run out sometimes... Titegrip works for me pretty well, except on 90F days when nothing keeps your hands dry, you need a towel...
A disclaimer though, it doesn't seem to completely eliminate the need for chalk for other people I know. maybe I just don't sweat that much... or maybe chalk is psychological.

I stand corrected and am thankful for insight from an experienced climber, not some dude arbitrarily pushing a product. Personally I'll stick to the chalk, it's how I shake it out anyway.

Hi Carvel
I think your product could be very good, especially since Magnesium carbonate is so dangerous for your lungs.
Here is a link to a very interesting study about the dangers of chalk.
http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org...ent/full/101/19/1330
THis might help alot with advertising your product.

Tite-Grip in all sports, is applied before engaging in the sport. It eliminates the moisture in 30 seconds and keeps your hands dry for up to 4 hours.
Several Rock Climbing Companies distribute Tite-Grip so our company knows pretty well how to market.
If you are such a hotshot about marketing, maybe you would like to become a distributor. It is used in all sports world-wide, so you could test the market and make a fortune.
Not bragging, but I was fortunate to have the opportunity to have six more years of college beyond community college and am proud to have a professional degree.
I'm sorry for all these negative replies received about our product.
Seems like some people just don't appreciate someone trying to give them new information to enhance their sport.
Without trying something new, how can you judge the results?

Ok, now you have done it. You are shamelessly advertising your product illegally on this website. You are not a member of our community. You are being a dick to members of this community, and you are now bragging about your credentials. It is a shame that the six years of college you had after community college didn't teach you to write, spell, or be professional.

Just a side note. Research has shown a few things...
Aluminium IS a neurotoxin effecting the blood brain barrier, and some studies have pointed out that it may cause numerous other health problems including renal failure and anemia.
Aluminium levels have been found to be higher in some Alzheimers patients, though this is currently thought to be an effect of the disease rather then a casual cause.
Studies have shown that aluminium absorption across the epidermis is negligible, and aluminium containing antiperspirants do not increase aluminium levels enough to induce any level of toxicity.
This is based on my very limited research into the subject, and I recommend you ignore it completely and treat it as made up garbage.
I am in no way recommending the use of Tite-Grip or any other powerful antiperspirant on the market (eg. antihydral), I'm just putting in what limited information I have on the aluminium debate.
And for the record - Magnesium Carbonate's "International Occupational Safety and Health Information Centre (CIS)" saftey card states that the only risk from inhalation is "nuisance-causing" unless it has a >1% crystalline silica concentration, in which case it may have "effects on the lungs" but these are not implied to be major.
Happy hunting.

OH, we missed the occasional chalk (magnesium carbonate) handprint on another climbers dark clothing "preferably the butt, thigh, back, shoulders and on the rare occasion the lung cans". let's see ya do that with Tite-Grip.... SHA-BAM!

Your product is not "used the world over in rock climbing." In fact, in 30 years of climbing "the world over," I have never known anyone to use this product--until Lena posted above.

I love blowing huge chalk clouds out through my fists. No other climbing product gives me such satisfaction.

In reply to: Tite-Grip in all sports, is applied before engaging in the sport. It eliminates the moisture in 30 seconds and keeps your hands dry for up to 4 hours.
Waterproofing my hands isn't necessary for me.
In reply to: Several Rock Climbing Companies distribute Tite-Grip so our company knows pretty well how to market.
The company you work for may know how to market. You do not.
In reply to: If you are such a hotshot about marketing, maybe you would like to become a distributor. It is used in all sports world-wide, so you could test the market and make a fortune.
I am not a hot shot at any such thing and don't proclaim to be. I have a day job, thanks for the offer. I know it is used in many sports, I have not tested it myself, and do not plan to as the mere thought of it makes me sick.
In reply to: Not bragging, but I was fortunate to have the opportunity to have six more years of college beyond community college and am proud to have a professional degree.
Go back to that school and get your money back.
In reply to: I'm sorry for all these negative replies received about our product. Seems like some people just don't appreciate someone trying to give them new information to enhance their sport. Without trying something new, how can you judge the results?
Not apologizing for negative reviews is a good first step to marketing something BTW. I stood corrected when someone with experience let me know. When it comes to you, Mr. Senior Moment, I don't appreciate the arbitrary approach to selling this product. It's simple and MHO.
At this point, I won't try it simply because their salespeople are incompetent.

Interesting there has been a review of the product on the site for years.
http://www.rockclimbing.com/gear/Archive/Tite-Grip_3422.html
Seems that several people think that it is a good product. I have no bias either way. Just wanted to point it out.
Cheers

Here is a link to a very interesting study about the dangers of chalk. http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org...ent/full/101/19/1330 THis might help alot with advertising your product.
Well played good sir, well played!

My brother ordered some and I used it several times. It does work well but I like my chalks so it's basically overkill during all but the summer months. When it's hot and humid out, using them both goes a long way towards keeping the hands dry.
That said, he ran out awhile back and neither of us have ordered more so it's obviously not a "must have".

Thanks for the information.
Maybe it will allay some misconceptions about Tite-Grip and nice to show the various Mountain Climbing Suppliers that distribute it.
I'm sure they will gladly give testimonials for any doubters.
Thanks for the time on the forum and I've enjoyed all the positive and negative feedback.

Just for the record, you've still being a jerk-off using underhand advertisement tactics. If you're going to come into an online community (and this one is pretty close as far as online communities go) and pretty to be all paly-pal discussing some "new product you've heard of" is pretty lame. To then go ahead and lie about the product is also very lame.
If you've going to come in here and be like that you might as well actually read the articles linked and the other peoples posts. You're just another internet spammer asswhipe coming in spewing your shit over our forums.
Is it just me, or does anyone else here feel like buying some antihydral?
