crash pads

Boulder nation rise up! Been doing some outdoor stuff and it's time to get one of these wild pads. What would you recommend for a not to expensive decent size taco fold over style pad?

What are your verterbral discs worth to ya?

If ya got cheap cartilage, buy a cheap pad. Foam is the chief difference determining quality of pads. Of the foam pads I've used, Organic has the best foam.

I've used Metolius, BD, BBZ, Cordless, Snap and Misty. And that suitcase of carpet and ensolite Neal Kaptain built way back in the 1980s.

Most folks I know who have tried Organics, switch.

I have a friend who never used a pad. When he started to fall, he would push himself from the rock and arch his back, always landing on his feet.

And today he has terrible back problems.

Cool. I've been told Organic's are the best, but are pricy. Heard revolution was having a sale and still need to look into Misty. I was told to stay away from pads by mad rock even though they are affordable.
