What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This version of the Mad Pad is a serious upgrade. The carry system is way more comfortable now, and the newer hook-and-loop layout makes it super easy to link pads for bigger fall zones. The included Madgic Carpet is a game changer-great for cleaning shoes before a crux start or just having a comfy spot to sit between burns." We rely on the Mad Pad when we're gearing up for long bouldering days and need dependable cushioning beneath every move. Mad Rock's updated 2024 design keeps all the durability and value climbers love while adding recycled materials and an improved carry system that feels noticeably plush on the hike in. With its 1-3-1 sandwiched foam construction, the pad delivers firm response when we're topping out and soft support for repeated falls during session after session. Hook-and-loop strips around the pad make it easy to connect multiple pads for bigger landing zones, giving us confidence on everything from lowball traverses to highball projects. The included Madgic Carpet is a thoughtful addition-ideal for brushing off rubber before pulling onto polished starts or for lounging while scouting beta. Whether we're warming up on gymnastic overhangs or working a proud line outdoors, this pad remains one of the most reliable crash pads in our kit.
