BOULDERING SHOULDER BAG

This great-looking shoulder bag can also be carried as a backpack. The main compartment has enough space to store all your bouldering essentials and then some... yet is not over-sized. It has closed-cell foam built into the back to save your bones. An internal pocket stashes dirty climbing shoes away from your clean clothes; there's a mesh zip pocket, and a row of finger-sized keepers for pen, toothbrush, nail clippers, etc. Outside, a Velcroed roll-closure pouch wraps up your chalk-bag and spare chalk, so you can toss the bag around dust-free. Not forgotten is one last zip pocket at the front to keep your cell phone, wallet, or other sundries handy.

These bags proved very popular when we launched them a few years ago, and we recently made minor tweaks, strengthening both the fabric and the carrying system, then added some trick zip-pulls, which I can assure you you'll love -- even if you're too pumped to make a fist, these are a cinch to pull! Unchanged are the functional design and the great price.
