Pros | Huge surface area, narrow carrying profile, excellent features | Straps to attach a second pad, plush suspension, sturdy foam for high falls | High-quality foam, great storage capabilities, durable | Super durable, amazing foam, lightweight, affordable | Great foam, large surface area, lots of grab loops |
Cons | Can't pack as much as a taco-style pad | Foam is hard for low falls, stiff for uneven landings | Lacks a convenient way to attach to other pads in a landing zone | Lack of features, doesn't pack gear well | No sternum strap, outdated hinge closure |
Bottom Line | This tester favorite provides loads of coverage without feeling too cumbersome while hiking | A great crash pad distinguished by its innovative strap system for carrying a second pad and many other features that other pads lack | Built to be long-lasting and equipped with just the right amount of features, this is an excellent choice for a mid-sized bouldering crash pad | A fantastic mid-sized pad with our favorite foam composition, offered at a great price | An excellent large pad with an equally big price tag |
