Title: Moon Pluto inside a Moon Saturn?
Post by: xelaxela on April 18, 2019, 11:58:55 am: Hi,

I'm looking to get a Moon Saturn soon and ideally would like to accompany this with some sore of satellite pad. I was going to get a thin satellite pads to accompany it, but then saw the price of the Moon Pluto. Does anyone have both and know if the Pluto fits inside the Saturn?

Thanks Alex

I use them to carry a DMM highball on the back of an Organic Full Pad, so think they would work quite well strapping a Pluto to a Saturn

Most I've done like this is an Organic Big Pad and Moon Warrior attached to the Saturn, and as long as you're not walking too far and don't topple over backwards it's fine. A Moon Pluto should be easy.

And I believe slightly bigger than a pluto pad) Inside my Saturn pad along with a sit start pad and my backpack at the top. Is a bit of a squeeze and involves folding the strap where rather than using velcro. Might be more difficult when the pad is very new though!

If I need more like bradders I use a rachet, although I have recently considered using bungies instead as they seem less fiddly (and I broke one of my ratchets recently which was a pain)

That's good to know, I've recently started bouldering a lot more on my own so want as much coverage as I can get.

I might get a warrior as my second pad then. Any chance you have a picture of the Warrior inside the Saturn?
