Why We Like The Petzl Alto Crash Pad
When we go pebble wrestling, Petzl's Alto Crash Pad totes our gear and cushions our falls. The multiple handles make it easy for our crew to slide it into our fall zone, while the triple density foam softens the blow without bottoming out. When it's time to head home, we fold our sending shoes and chalk bucket inside and zip the outer edges to make sure they don't slip out on our way back to the car.

Great padding. Straps need a bit of love

The size and weight of this pad is fantastic. Additionally the foam is one of the more comfortable to fall on. The pain point with this pad is the shoulder straps. Understand there is no padding on them what so ever. You'll be going through a break in period and they will dig into your collarbone. The zipper closure works well but overall its over designed. Its trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Can't really recommend this for the price point.

Gucci crashpad

This crashpad has tons of awesome features on it (as mentioned in the description)!! I really like how simple and comfy it is to carry around from boulder to boulder or from trails back to the car. The seat option is pretty cool too for a nice rest. It?s for sure pricey for a crashpad this size, but worth it, and especially since it?s well-padded for even a high fall.
