A certain N. Walean climber with a phd in all things ocean, tides and currents left a few pads in a safe stash on Anglesey. Obv they weren't safe and disappeared in a big sea.
You’re welcome to borrow my pads for the week. I’ll be abroad then.
I spotted one of the new Flashed pads in the Depot this morning; gave it a quick squeeze and I would be utterly amazed if they have any sort of longevity. I appreciate that's not much of a product test but, sometimes you just know.
For another view on the Alpkit Project, i've had mine for a few years and it's been used every time i've gone out on rock, typically once per week, and it's also lived under my board, which is used twice per week. It hasn't been particularly well looked after and is starting to soften a bit now but I'm still happy falling from 6m+ onto just this pad.
I think Bradders probably gives his pads more hammer than most on here, especially if they still live under your board Bradders? Have to say I've only noticed the softness of pads when they're completely ancient. Even then I would still happily land on them for everything except highball stuff. Obviously ymmv!
I'll be plumbing some money into one of the big Snap pads in the near future. Would be curious to hear some experience about the Grand Wrap vs Grand Guts. Part of me is very attracted by the foldability of the Guts but also not psyched about the idea of nailing the fold point from 5m+ on highballs. Also curious about the difference in storage of shoes etc because I imagine the taco design is better for that? Cheers

Anyone tried the new core pads? The other options are either the new dominator with the waist strap or a moon pad.Got a lot of love for my current dominator but feel obliged to explore the options now pads cost such a wedge.

I’d recommend something other than moon I think. Gonna be retiring mine to the board and getting something more sturdy like Organic
