This is a good deal for the average climber. You get what you pay for -- the fabric and foam aren't as tough as more expensive mats -- but unless you boulder every day, I think this mat will last you a long time. You'll probably enjoy spending the extra $30-50 on something else :)

So if you are looking for a good crash pad this is perfect. It is by far on of the better ones I have used thus far. They also offer it in a bigger size which is even better two of these together you have yourself a bomb landing zone for those high ballers out there

For how much coverage you get with this pad and at the incredible price theres no reason not to get this great pad. The different folding configurations and burly straps are some other features you get with this pad. Makes one of the best bivy pads at the end of the day as well.

Works just as good as other pads a lot more expensive and never had any trouble with the cushion. Plus it makes a good chair in a jam.

This pad gets the job done ! The padding is great for bouldering and folds up if you need to fit it through a tight spot. It has three straps when it is folded up and closed so that your gear is not going to fall out of the bottom. Also the fabric is not going to tear while rubbing against granite during your approach and trees pretty much move out of the way when this pad is on your back. I like it so much I'm buying another one.

Great thickness, support, easy to carry. Backpack straps are comfy. Can be set up as a chair style when not needed to catch ya! Love it!

Have been using the Mad Rock Mad Pad Crash Pad for about 3 years now and it's still going strong. Originally I bought the Mad Pad crash pad because it's one of the most inexpensive pads I could find, and yet one of the biggest. I still haven't seen a crash pad this size for less. Not even close! Aside from the Mad Rock Mad Pad's obvious economical advantages, it's also tough as nails. It's been my main crash pad for 3 years and still doesn't show any real signs of wear & tear. The little carpet square it comes with, the "Madgic Carpet," is a nice bonus. I won't boulder w/o one now because wiping your feet before sending is just so damn helpful!

Great size, cushioning and nice backstraps. I use it as a make-shift chair in my room, plus you cant beat the price.
