Title: Flashed Pads
Post by: andy moles on April 23, 2023, 08:11:43 am

I've not been in the market for a new pad for a while, but now that my DMM Highballs no longer feel reassuring on lowballs...

I think I'm right in thinking that Flashed pads haven't been on the market long, at least in the UK, so there's possibly going to be limited feedback on their longevity, but has anyone got one, and if so what's your take? I'm considering a Drifter or maybe even a very badly named Big Squishy...

Did ukc do a review for them? They're quite prominent in their recent bouldering guide vids so am presuming so.

I can only see a press release as opposed to a proper review.

There's a mention in Gear of the Year review where Rob G says he likes them and will do a review at some point. Always good to get a second opinion though, especially from someone who hasn't got them for free  :P

No doubts cast on the thorough excellence of Rob's forthcoming review, of course (hi Rob  :wave:)
