Perfect for covering small areas

7 years ago

Used this short stop pad on a boulder problem last weekend and it fits perfect between any other boulder pad 48” wide. Works great to cover small rocks that are just out of the way for your main crash pad.

So many uses

6 years ago

I was skeptical at first, but I absolutely love this pad. It works great covering the gaps when using multiple pads or leaning against a tree or other rocks. Very useful as a start pad as well to keep your feet from getting dirty. I also use it all the time just to sit on to change shoes or just resting between attempts. The fact that the pad is 3/4 inch thick makes it easy to tuck inside another pad to carry it. Definitely going to get another one of these pads.

So many uses but your going to want more than one.

7 years ago

At first when I got mine I was alittle ehh... They look thin and they're are super stiff out of the box. Then I took them climbing. I love these little things! You can put them side by side on your regular 4" pads to make a thicker/ stiffer pad worthy of big falls. You can stack them on top one another to make a "half pad". Surprisingly that little ¾" of padding takes out a good bit of sting when you miss your main pads too. And of course they do all that stuff in the description too.

Great pad

3 years ago

I originally bought this as a pad for chilling while slackline ing and also as a start pad for bouldering. I’ve been using this a lot at the mountain bike trailhead for a quick change of cloths/shoes. It is really nice to have a clean & soft pad. Even if you don’t climb, this is a nice small pad to have if you spend time on the trail and camping. If you do climb or slackline, then you’ll use this all the time.

Must Have for your bouldering setup

2 weeks ago

This pad is a must have for your bouldering set up. We use it to fill gaps, sit starts, leaning up against trees/rocks, and coverage for seams between crash pads. Packs out easily inside our full sized pads so you don’t even notice it when hiking out to the boulders. In my opinion, it’s worth every penny. That being said, this is a supplemental crash pad, so if you are looking for for your first pad or for a “main” pad this isn’t the thing you are looking for.

No, I do not recommend this product

versatile little pad

1 year ago

Bought this for campus board for my home. I was little skeptical due to being pretty thin crash pad, but works good and cushion is nice than I expected. Also easy enough to carry outdoors due to compact size and light weight.
