Veloce: Shoe Bag

The shoebag has a "clean" outer layer that is made from a 20 denier ripstock nylon material that keeps odors and loose chalk from escaping the shoebag and contaminating other gear when stored or transported. The "clean" outer layer can be stored inside of a zippered pocket also made from the same material to keep it clean when the shoes are being carried around the gym. This reveals a "working" layer made from a mesh material to prevent chalk buildup in the working layer. A nylon carrying loop also also makes the shoes easier to carry, requiring the climber only one finger instead of two to carry the shoes. The drawstring design allows climbers to easily access their shoes during their sessions without having to deal with zippers that may get stuck if chalk collects in the zipper teeth.

The nylon carrying loop makes the shoebag easy to hang up for storage while the mesh layer prevents the shoes from falling out when the bag is unzipped to prevent odors.

Veloce: Chalk Brush

To eliminate the need to carry two brushes around in the climbing gym, the small brush is imbedded inside of the large brush. Magnetic Fidlock hardware is also incorporated into the design to replace the brush holder of traditional chalk bags to make attaching and removing the chalk brush an easier experience.

The Veloce Chalk Brush has five unique features that improves the climbing hold cleaning experience:

1. Small brush integration into the large brush.

2. Angled brush head and tapered and offset handles keep the climber's fingers away from the wall.

3. Unique handle allows for multiple grip types to maneuver around climbing holds.

4. Longer bristles at the tip of the brush to account for uneven wearing to elongate brush lifespan.

5. Magnetic Fidlock hardware to make attaching and removing the chalk brush easier.

Veloce: Chalk Bag

Similar to the Veloce Shoe Bag, the Veloce Chalk Bag features a "clean" layer that prevents chalk from contaminating other gear when stored. The chalk bag unzips and folds its outer layer away to reveal a "working" layer that is also made from 20 denier ripstock nylon for ease of cleaning. Attached to the "working" layer are multiple gear organization methods, including a large folded zipper pocket, a water bottle holder, a gear loop, and a Fidlock female component to attach the chalk brush.

The Veloce Chalk Bag is capable of storing all the gear necessary during a climbing session. The diagram below shows it housing the Veloce Chalk Brush, a water bottle, a phone, two rolls of climbing tape, lip balm, and a laser pointer on its gear loop.

The Veloce Chalk Bag is made of 20 denier ripstock nylon, making it easy to clean while being able to contain chalk and prevent other gear from getting chalky. Its multiple gear storage methods keeps all the gear organized and accessible during a climbing session. The felt lining even distributes chalk while chalking up, preventing excessive chalk usage and spillage.
