Dan DaltonAn alright pad...

Voted 2/5

I won one of these in a competiton and was really excited. It is definately light, feels really good when carying around for a while on the shoulders, and is pretty cheap (although I guess mine was free.) What I didn't like was the realtively small area and thin-ness of the pad compared to my beloved Mad Pad. Yes, this is one of the cheapest pads out there, but NO it is not one of the best. Too thin and small for any serious bouldering and for the price, not the greatest. I would recomend another pad.

MikeSashI like it

Voted 3/5

Maybe its just cause I went so long without a pad that I really appreciate this one. It is small, but the construction is good. Some pretty useless straps...
