Yea how can i get an edelrid Crux 2 crash pad in the US? ive been searching and cant find one that would be shipped within the US. any ideas?!

Im going with with voodoo because this topic has been raised from the grave!

Organic. Not cheap, but well worth the extra $$$. Organic makes one of, if not the absolute best crash pads on the market, and customer service is excellent. I can't recommend them enough.

Btw, if you are really concerned about price, realize the quality foam and craftsmanship of the Organic pads will have them lasting you far longer than cheaper pads and will cost you less over time.

I'll toss another vote in the ring for the edelrids as being a screaming deal, that said i think it's a little misleading not to include revolution in the "best foam" category, they compete with if not exceed performance of the organic pads (in my experience) not to mention they have a pretty good pad sale at the moment.

I was looking for a crash pad recently and based on reports on here and supertopo review, I was going to get the organic. Problem was I wanted to get one for bouldering the same day. The rei and sport chalet in Phoenix only had Metolious pads. I got the Recon. I've used it a couple times so don't know about durability, but Meolious usually makes bomber shit. It has performed well after a few uses. Foam was soft enough for a short fall onto your back and didn't bottom out after a fall onto my feet from 12 feet. The thing seems pretty bomber and has Velcro to prevent pad from bending if you fall on the angled cut crease where it folds. It's 42x60x4" and with a trifold it packs pretty small to 20" wide. It carries well. Only down side is it has very little room in pocket to carry shit. It cost me $260. No place online had any on sale so I'll get my 10% rebate from REI next year. Overall happy with purchase. The pad barely fits in the back of my SUV with back seat up. Any bigger and I'd have to strap it on outside of vehicle if I had passengers in the back. If I get another I'm gonna get an organic online

I've got a Mad Pad, my buddy has got an R3. His pad feels a lot softer, but I feel a lot more comfortable coming down from any kind of height onto mine- the R3 just doesn't feel like it's going to catch me. People call the Mad Pad hard, but I think I like it. I don't want falling to feel nice, I want it to feel secure and safe- and on my Mad Pad, it does. I haven't got experience with other pads so I can't comment.

As a side note, his R3 is also a lot better at holding stuff inside of it. I can get my shoes and a few small items, and that's it. Having a flap to hold the bottom together would be nice.
