This was actually incredibly helpful to me. Particularly the notes about storage of a taco style mat and the longevity of the wedge angle. Do you have any insights of different foam types, like PE or PU? Most manufacturers seem to stay silent on this, but I read PU is longer lasting and pricey. Background stuff: I'm looking to buy my first mat and being a student there are definitely some serious price and storage room limitations at play. Still of course my main concern is safety and I'd like to have something that lasts. Unfortunately my two local climbing shops stopped carrying crashpads, because they just don't sell and take up so much room. So I am stuck buying something online without getting a feel for it and mostly I see sponsored advertisement instead of honest advice.
Great video with good info! I always recommend friends to look for good carrying system (both for keeping stuff in the "pad/fold" and comfortable straps for their first pad. Also with taking size in consideration. And then if they feel like a 2nd pad get one that "fixes" all things you feel like you've lacked! wether it be a thinner one for sitstart og a tri-fold for area if you find yourself working longer problems etc! Have you guys tried burrito pads? They roll up instead of folding, you can easily fit backpacks or heck, even a small fridge inside!
👍 Thanks :) Not tried a burrito style pad before - although Soph tried rolling one up in a shop once and got pinged off 😆 they do look very roomy and would make a spacious landing area :)
It took me a minute to figure out why I was getting an uncanny feeling from this video and I finally figured it out. Bouldering, where I live, is a sport for grungy dirtbags and stoners. Your voice is so posh and classy that I feel like I am watching a BBC presenter talk to me about fisting. Excellent video! Really thorough and super helpful.
Nice video! My biggest concern is: is a pad enough or I need more than one? Because they are very expensive.. what do you think is the minimum? Is a 2x1m enough? Thanks
Only one big problem with bouldering mats ,,,, the price !!!! Eeeeckkkk!! , cost more than my car ( £200 lol ) going back to using bits of old carpet and grass .Good advice as ever hope you get commission on sales or at least a good discount in the future.
That clip of your fitting through the gate was hilarious hahaha
😂 yep, but if a squeeze!

You're welcome
Im stuck between the metolius magnum and the organic full , the organic is supposed to be more popular but the magnum is bigger
What is the difference between a launch pad and a crash pad ,
Bad ass video. I love bouldering.
Thank you 😊
Nice video! My biggest concern is: is a pad enough or I need more than one? Because they are very expensive.. what do you think is the minimum? Is a 2x1m enough? Thanks
one and maybe a friend to move it around if you’re traversing is enough, but if you have more than one under you its definitely a lot better
@@juliedaluz8853 thanks
Hey, how is the SNAP pad holding up after all this time (especially the foam and the velcro straps)? Would you generally recommend it? Thanks!
It's good. Still holding up well 👍
was going to buy snap guts then found out they dont ship to the usa
That’s a shame it’s a great pad.
Thanks for watching
