Pros:Durable, High Quality, Light Weight, Many Folding Options, Soft Landings, ThickCons:Could be larger, ExpensiveBest Uses:Bouldering, Landing on, SleepingBottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friendIncredible Crash pad. This is the Rolls Royce. You can tell the difference immediatly. it packs up much smaller than others. Its incredibly soft to land on, yet Ive never gone through the pad or felt the ground through it in a harsh way. The soft air cells and velcro design are simply superb at dispersing impact forces.The ONLY minor gripe i have is that it could be larger. You still need/want a good spotter to ensure you hit the pad. Average-ish size. Stacking with other pads is excellent.Incredible pad - incomparable really. Expensive.
