Anybody got one of those triple fold jobbies? Have seen them in decathalon before but no dice last trip, also had a quick cruise round barbizon as I think the site said you could pick them up there, but just found a load of arty shops.
Any knowledge on how to get my mits on one this trip??

Aye, you can get them from Trois Pigeons car park on a weekend. Great idea, and great pads, but they cost around £160! Nealry doubled in price since when they were first made

they always looked wack to me.

You're not wrong they've gone up a bit £160!!! :shock: that's a bit cheeky for a smallish pad. Guess I'll have to get a roofrack for the porsche then

Thing is, they arent that small... They are really quite big when unfolded out. If iam thinking of the same pads. The purple ones?

Erm...remember seeing them a in a couple of colours, folded out to roughly the size of your standad metolius mat (which are cack in case you're wondering) This was a bit ago mind you, I think they worked out at £100 ish?
I can but check out the resoling bloke and see what's up, I expect as you say they are now purple and pricey!

i've got a triple pad.  best pad i've used.  

why? well:
- the foam is great.  much denser and longer lasting than my old cordless.  never mind that old wet newspaper, the original S7.  i've had mine for 2 years now and seh's still trucking
- casing is super durable despite it having a lot of corners!
- i haven't bottomed out on the joins yet - the design seems to actually push the joins together when you land
- the size is good.  bigger than the pod/s7/moon pads
- the folded shape is ideal. that's a real 'personal preference' comment but i rate for the suitcase style transportability which also comes with a shoulder strap and pack straps.

downsides?  
- the cost.  pretty steep really.  
- the colours.  typically french!  i managed to source a black however.
- the fact that you can only get em in france!

if you can swallow the cost then i'd say run with it.  you wont be disappointed.

oh yeah - just call or email Jo when you're next in font.  he has a whole garage full of them:
