Tokyo Powder's chunky RX chalk is another break through product to come out of Japan. Combining the best features from Tokyo Powder Industries' Black chalk and Boost range, the chalk experts have crafted an ultra high friction chalk which is designed to excel on polished rock with poor friction as well as indoor polyurethane holds.
The consistency of this chalk is chunky, perfect for those of you who like to feel the chalk crush up and blend into your hand whilst applying.
The most interesting aspect of the Tokyo Powder RX variant is that contrary to logic, it is made up of a high amount of water moisture that is trapped within each chunky piece. One would assume that would render the chalk redundant but the science behind it claims that in order to have good friction, you do need an element of moisture. World class Japanese climbers Miho Nonaka, Rei Sugimoto and Futaba Ito have been exclusively using the RX blend on the World Cup circuit since January 2018 and have achieved great results. They are proof that there is method to the madness.
The packaging of the RX chunky chalk comes vac-packed to ensure longevity of the clumps. It is recommended to only take out what you need into your chalk bag and reseal the bag. If the chalk begins to dry out it will be less effective, therefore, to extend the life of the opened bag, Tokyo Powder recommend putting in a humidity control sachet like "Boveda" directly into your pack and even in your chalk bag.
Climb harder with this secret in the palm of your hands.
