Launch Pad

Confidence boosting thickness with a pretty sick design

Good Pad

Used this pad for bouldering. It's a nice sized large pad and provided enough landing space when falling/jumping off the rock. It is pretty large so that makes it hard to fit in the trunk of my car without folding down the seats. Great for all levels of climbers, whether you're just getting into it or well experienced. I like the closure system.

My favorite!

I've put it through the wringer

This pad is unbelievably handy. I now own three of these. Two of my climbing partners have also purchased one after seeing them in action. The carrying system makes it stupid easy to carry additional pads and gear, and it's pretty comfy for longer approaches. I really can't recommend this thing enough.

Confidence-inspiring pad

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

Nice, big pad; makes me feel more confident as I push myself. A little firm, like a previous review mentioned, but seems to have softened already after just a few sessions. Pretty happy with my purchase and I'm excited to see how it performs all winter long

Great crash pad

I love the crash pad but wish I had bought the smaller size. I’m 5’4” & it’s a bit big for my frame to get it out to the crag. I should have researched sizes more. Overall great pad though.

Great product

Big ol foam boy catch fall gud

Large lightweight pad, great buckles and features. Pretty design.

Great crash pad: safe and robust but lacks features

I’ve used this crash pad for about 3 trips worth of bouldering. I can fit two of them in my Subaru Impreza which is amazing. The foam is superb and provides a great landing. The Joshua tree color looks sweet but stains easily, which is not an issue for me. The built in shoe-wipe mat seems gimmicky but is actually really nice when the ground is a bit muddy. These pads are quite large, if you boulder solo I might recommend getting two smaller pads instead of one of these. For large groups with multiple pads, though, these are great central pads! My only issue with these pads is the fastening system. The straps are a little small and hard to work with, especially with two pads stacked on each other. It would also be nice to have some gear loops, but this is pretty easy to get around with a carabiner and a daisy chain.

Great pad

Really solid pad. Easy to carry and great size. Only downside is it does not easily become a couch, but I will be adding straps for that
