The Ultimate GEKCO PACK: What’s Inside?
Just launched: The Ultimate GEKCO Pack. But what’s actually inside? Well, it contains our entire performance chalk range including the elusive GEKCO chalk bag seen exclusively on the backs of our pro athlete team and genuinely the best insulated flask in existence. Aside from being the perfect gift for all climbers, this pack truly is an everything-you-need, all-in-one box packed full of high-performance and environmentally-friendly products. But you don’t have to take our word for it! We asked 5 different athletes, made up of GB climbers and prominent outdoor figures, what they thought about each product…
CHALK BAG
A waist bag ideal for all climbers. Handmade in England by our team this has been designed to be ultra-durable and user friendly. Two brush loops of different sizes to aid projecting, bomb-proof toggles and waist belt buckles and a closure system designed to be well sealed whilst easy to operate. The external fabrics (sides and base) are waterproof, aiding with reducing and in most cases eliminating the effects of humidity and unexpected changes in conditions on your precious chalk held within.
“I love this chalk bag! It really shines on the lead wall because it’s got a nice wide opening to get your hand in, and two attachment points for the strap so it stays where you want and doesn’t slide round to the side. I’ve got a tendency to rag my chalk bags pretty hard, and they usually fall to bits, but this one hasn’t shown any signs of wear!” ~ Sam Butterworth
LOOSE chalk
Eco-friendly high performance fine loose chalk in a fully paper recyclable bag. No additives, fillers or nastiness - just the highest purity seawater processed magnesium carbonate. Better for you, better for your performance, and better for the planet. Our bags are fully paper recyclable so you can just pop them in your household paper recycling meaning anyone, anywhere can dispose of our bags correctly in the most environmentally friendly way possible.
“GEKCO is by far the best loose chalk for sweatier-handed folk like myself. The powdery feel really makes it feel like it gets into the skin to help stop sweat, rather than just sit on top of the sweat making a clammy paste like other chalks. It always amazes me how long a bag lasts as well, especially as I chuck my chalk bag around like I don’t pay for chalk!!” ~ Jen Wood
FLASK
A stainless-steel, vacuum insulated Kinto flask with Japanese design and build quality. With a dual lid system, you get spill proof drinking, mad heat retention and a hella durable exterior. This is made by Kinto, a highly-regarded Japanese brand within the coffee community and we can’t state enough how good it is. Perfect for long training sessions in a classically freezing climbing gym or weekends projecting at the crag where you enjoy looking like a steam train as you breathe.
“The new GEKCO flask is perfect for a cold winter day out on the grit. I always struggle to stay warm when the conditions are best but having a hot flask of coffee keeps me going on the coldest days!” ~ Gus Turner
COLD
COLD is our brand new world-first hybrid of loose and liquid chalk - it gives you the cooling and drying effect of a liquid chalk but in a loose format! This performance-focused product is like no other on the market, with only sustainably-derived ingredients that are good for you, your climbing, and the planet. Ideal for hot and sweaty conditions, COLD reduces sweating and improves friction.
“The key thing for me with COLD is that it cools the whole chalk bag down which means mid-route I can have nice cold skin!! It’s got the best application, it cools my skin down, and makes my skin nice and dry. It’s just the best!!” ~ Sam Butterworth
LIQUID CHALK
Eco-friendly, high-performance liquid chalk for climbing, weight lifting, cross-fit, gymnastics and grip sports. We do things differently here at GEKCO. Most liquid chalk brands are filled with more gunk than chalk. GEKCO is PURE. The purest magnesium carbonate and alcohol. Zero thickeners or resin. Engineered for the best friction with no detrimental effects to the environment. Designed ground up by climbers, prioritising friction and our planet before profit.
“I loveee it! It’s so different from other liquid chalks I’ve used in the past as it doesn’t leave the slimy residue that you get with other brands. I like to use it as a primer before using the standard chalk!” ~ Emma Futcher
CHALK BALLS
Eco-friendly chalk ball. 100% plant based, refillable & fully compostable - the world’s first! Our chalk balls are handmade in England using hemp material and cord with a bamboo toggle, making them fully compostable. Delivering just the right amount of chalk, perfect for routes, windy days and dustless bouldering. These beauties contribute positively to the earth in their production and will last you years.
“I love how the chalk balls are easy to use in the chalk bag and are environmentally-friendly! It’s brilliant being able to refill anytime with my favourite chalk!” ~ Hannah Kerr
STICKERS
Everybody loves stickers, so we made you some super nice aluminium stickers. These are ultra durable with a very strong glue. Stick it wherever (we are not liable for any vandalism)! They’re dishwasher safe so you can stick it to your Nalgenes and other bottles to your hearts content. The stickers measure roughly 7 × 6cm, so they fit nicely on all sorts of surfaces.
Who needs an athlete to tell you how cool these stickers are?! Here at Team GEKCO, we stick them on everything - water bottles, flasks, portable chargers, laptop cases… you name it, we’ve stuck one on it!
So there you have it… it’s the ultimate collection of must-have GEKCO products to take your climbing to the next level. For gifting, it’s the ideal bundle for every climber - from new climbers that have just caught the bug to seasoned pros spending every spare second training and projecting. If you like what we do and our approach to product design, you will love this signature pack…
