Metolius Fat Bastard Crash Pad - 2007
Long-time dominator of the crash pad market, Metolius has no intention of idling away their leadership in the bouldering scene. One of Metolius' newest offerings, the Fat Bastard Crash Pad has not only a great name, but also some excellent features to protect your butt from sketchy landings. Three inches of open-cell foam topped by one inch of high-density closed-cell foam create four whopping inches of impact diffusion and absorption. Metolius' trademark 45-degree center hinge allows this pad to fold flat and still avoid the center gutter that occurs on most hinged crash pads; land dead center on the hinge, and it won't feel any different than straddling the hinge. Laminated die-cut shoulder straps, a waist-belt and a briefcase handle turn the heinous trek to the Druids into a pleasant morning stroll. Seal the deal with custom Metolius aluminum buckles. Metolius stamps these buckles with a slight curve for superior holding power and unbreakable strength.
Bottom Line: When your ankles and your spine depend on a crash pad, why choose anything less?
