Title: Black Diamond Butler....
Post by: JamesPullan on May 05, 2010, 02:11:55 pm

..... On eBay for £44.95 + £3 p&p

Are they any good?

never used one but googled the dimensions as they look to be pretty small and thin. Which is fine if that's what you want. Ideal for walking or cycling with perhaps. not really a proper bouldering mat in terms of size and thickness.

I have a mate that has one. They are OK for sit starts and stuff.

I wouldn't buy one, especially for 45 quid.

Anyone know why they dropped the snap bun from the range?

I wanted to buy one of those at the end of this month!

I bought one 5-10 days ago, from the snap.co.uk website. Should still be there...??

Great mat. Thick and hard. Shame they're now £145 rather than £105 they were earlier in the year  :(

Why not wait till the euro really nosedives then take your holidays in France?
