I went for a pod super crash pad in the end and i couldnt be happier with the purchase, its a little uncomfortable to carry in the backpack style but its absolutely brilliant to land on and the foam is ducktaped inside a plastic bag on the inside so no worries about it getting wet, something you have to think about in this country haha!

I hope this helps

It's a really nice line. If you are up in the county get Holly to let me know and I'll try and come out and meet you!

Sorry for highjacking this thread a bit!

Heard lots of people rave about these but somehow I don't think shipping something that big from America is going to be cheap eh?!

Post by: SteG on March 17, 2010, 12:51:03 pm: cheap enough I think, shipping for mine was around $40 (for a full pad + half pad) so worked out about the same-ish as buying in the UK. To echo cmerch they're very good pads, good design, good quality finish and great to land on, worth a look if you're in the market for a new pad.

Post by: fatdoc on March 17, 2010, 11:01:06 pm: 17% IIRC .. after chatting with customs we got the ronins in as a * climbers inflatable mattress*

you are better off speaking to them first.. not once they have the item.

Only HMG dept that welcome calls... they are truly keen to help!!
