Gets the job done

By Ranked #300 - Climbing Ropes and Bouldering Pads December 22, 2008

Well I originally purchased this pad as a secondary for my trip to Bishop and was aware of the no-frills, simple design (which I was completely fine with for the price). The pad performed well and kept me from bottoming out numerous times but the poor construction started to show after a few months. The top strap loop broke off while fastening it down so I had to fix it with gorilla tape, which fells even sturdier than the flimsy webbing before! The foam is also starting to break down and crease pretty badly down the center even though I store the pad unfolded.If i had known what I know now, I would have just ordered my organic pad sooner and splurged for better quality.
