bouldering pad |
This pads are revolution bouldering, greatly increasing the comfort and safety of this age old art. The outer layer is designed to be abrasion resistant free from rips and tears on impact. The inner is created from one layer of density foam which can cope with impact, which is moulded to a medium density foam to take the full force of your fall. The foam thickness varies between sizes and designs, but is usually around 8-10 cm thick. For severe landings, you can also double up on pads, although this may affect the stability of the pad when impact hits, so make sure they are fully secured. This pads come in a variety of sizes, usually around 1-1,5 when unfolded. Smaller pads can be purchased as subsidiary pads for use when the landing zone includes protruding and tufts of grass. Although this pads are designed to protect you in a fall, you should be aiming to fall in a controlled fashion to avoid damage to both yourself and your pad. Because safety is not guaranteed by using this pads, so you should rely on spotters as you boulder for your safety, as well as common sense. You can buy this pad at the stores or check at the shops online like amazon.com.
