Great liquid chalk - 8BPLUS Premium Climbing Liquid Chalk 125ML

I've used several different liquid chalks and this is by far my favorite.
Out of the tube it has a very creamy and spreadable texture. I prefer this to the more pasty chalks—it has a more spreadable consistency to it that lays down a more even and consistent layer of chalk. During application it has a feel more like a lotion.
The chalk doesn't have a strong alcohol odor like most other liquid chalk does. If i had to describe it, it has a vaguely latex paint smell that reminds me of a recently painted house. It's not offensive or overpowering. It still dries pretty quickly.
What I really appreciate about this chalk is its staying power. It goes on and turns to a smooth, dry, even coat of chalk that feels durable. Compared to the FrictionLabs Secret Stuff (my go-to prior to discovering this chalk) it lasts longer. It goes on and remains on as a durable base-coat. It also doesn't dry out my skin the same way that other liquid chalks have. It provides a really nice dry, solid, lasting, grippy chalk.
I find that I use slightly more of this chalk than I do others; part of that may be that it's more "liquid-y" coming out of the tube which may prompt you to squeeze a little more than you might intend. Or, it may be that it has a lotion-like feel going on that subconsciously encourages a more generous squeeze.
