good for the price
It doesn’t fold in the middle, which makes packing it up and transporting it really difficult. You’re still supposed to fold it in half, but it doesn’t have a crease like most crash pads. Hoping that once it breaks in it’ll be easier to fold - I can’t fold it up by myself.
No center fold and padding problems
Overall, I would not recommend this pad. Unfortunately, I’ve found that this pad not having a center fold makes it a total nuisance. The pad tends to stay folded like a taco even when you unfold it. Also, carrying it from place to place at the crag while grabbing it at both ends makes your forearms pumped before you even start the next climb. Finally, the padding for this pad is just too little. Landing on it alone from over 10 feet sketches me out.
Awesome pad but too thin to stand alone
I bought this 2 months ago and began my outdoor bouldering experience. I love the extra surface area that this pad holds over almost every other mid sized pad. At 3.5 inches of foam, I would not want to fall from much more than 10 feet onto this pad alone. But it is amazing as a secondary pad that covers a lot of surface area and is super light to haul along. So if that is what you’re looking for, this is perfect! Also taco fold is awesome!
It's a Crash Pad
This thing does what it needs to do and nothing more. It's a crash pad, it doesn't suck to fall on, it doesn't weigh a ton and it fits in just about every cars trunk. Won't be disappointed but also won't be blown away.
This pad is great. The straps make it super convenient to pack in, and the mesh works well as make-shift pockets. I've taken this on all kinds of terrain, and it makes for a great landing.
Great crash pad option
Very easy to carry, provides confidence when bouldering. Highly recommend for any beginner or advanced boulderer.
Looking sleek
The crashpad it just perfect, nothing to say more. However folding it for the first time was quite heavy.
Supper functional
I got this about a month ago and it is a great grab and go crash pad.
