Waterproof roll top closure chalk bag
I have a chalk bag. It’s made of nylon and has a draw elastic closure, and a loop for a karabiner or piece of string to tie around my waist. I have an Exped made little roll top canoe bag in black. I keep the chalk bag in the waterproof bag to stop the chalk getting wet, when its in my rucksack. I use chalk balls because loose stuff is for boulderers and rock ninjas. The outer bag also stops that plume or chalk covering clothes and people at the climbing wall when I push it into my sack.
So combine the two, have a seam sealed bag with a roll top closure and loop for clip/string. That way you get a much better air tight seal, and the chalk doesnt get soaked inside your rucksack. can attach it to your harness and when you put your gear down on wet moss, outside.

Hi, I have been climbing off and on for about 5 years. I also do a bit of mountain walking/scrambling, and can only lead Mods/ easy diffs. I go to the climbing wall when I can. I also mountain bike quite alot.

Yep, ideal for dws. Its one of my personal annoyances in indoor climbing gyms when theres sand pits of chalk all over the floor, what a waste, gets all over your shoes, messy. Tend to boulder aswell as lead, have a different bag for both for this reason, dont tend to take chalk up with me on a boulder problem much, depends on the length, mainly because i find if I crash out the chalk jumps out the bag (I use loose chalk most of the time but it happens with balls) I started thinking about some kind of valve system, hands can dip in but chalk cant fly out, your idea sounds like it would help reduce this problem. Think of how much chalk money you would save, quids in for pints later surely!
