Crash pads
|
I know it's a matter of personal preference, but is there a specific brand of crash pads that stands out? |
|
The standout that I have always heard of/used was organic tho they are pricy |
|
Organic...and they are right on par as far as price goes. Some folks dont like the pricey shipping, but overall, these are BY FAR the best pads you can land on! |

This thing is so awesome as an extra little pad. |
|
I loved Revolution/Pusher/S7 back in the day when they used velcro closures, but Revolution's pads aren't great anymore. Black Diamond's pads are probably the all around best, I think, but Organic is right there for sure. I just got a new pad from Edelrid and love it. It is a monster, but you can check it out on my site. |
|
Oh and Moon Climbing has some pretty good pads as well. |
|
Love my old Misty Mountain - Have moved onto the Organic Big Pad. Amazing absorption of energy and Josh is great to work with! |
|
organic. The foam is way better. All other companies use the standard cheap foam. There is no middle man when buying organic so they are able to use a higher quality foam. Ask anyone with a 3+ year old organic and see how stiff/new the foam still feels. Now compare that with any 2 year old mondo... |
|
Organic +1. Custom Colors for no extra charge! |
|
+1 on Organic's Full Pad. Josh is awesome to work with and will make+ship your order very fast. |

I do love the BD Mondo, first because it's huge, which weeny boys like me appreciate when we get 3' off the ground, and second, I'm 5'10", and as long as I support my head w/ a rope / pack, it makes a great mattress. |
|
+1 for the Mondo.. |
|
Voodoo makes great pads as well. I think you can't go wrong with Voodoo, BD or Organic. After that there seems to be a steep drop off in quality (at least for the pads I've used). |
|
+1 for Stonelick...fantastic pads, made in the US and the best foam of any. Step hinge means no dead spot and no taco crease in the middle. |
|
-1 for the Mondo. Loved this pad when I got it. A year and a half later, with relatively high use, this pad is practically worthless. So if you don't climb a lot or just getting it to have sex on, then a Mondo may get you through. However, if you plan on using your pad a lot for bouldering, I would recommend the Organic. |
|
great deals on Moon Climbing pads at sierratradingpost.com - though the shipping is steep! |
|
My favorite pad is the Metolius Magnum. I believe it's the largest pad on the market currently. It's not as thick as the Mondo, but it's got an extra 4sq feet of coverage. I do most of my bouldering by myself so I like being able to cover as much area as possible with just one pad. Also the tri-fold is way sleek and makes navigating between boulders or trees much easier with it on your back. Also I think the MSRP is about 75 bones cheaper than the Mondo. |
|
Stonelick all the way! Made in VT, best foam on the market, best pad design, and great folks. |
|
Cordless hasn't been around for a while, maybe 10 years or more, but I still see some of their old pads around every now and then. They used to sponsor a bunch of great videos back in the day too. Have you seen new pad from Cordless? |
|
I have a cordless and i think it is one of the best pads i have had. if you can find one, get it |
