Buying Guide: Choosing Your Climbing Crash Pad

When outdoor bouldering, you can rely on spotters to help break your fall, but investing in a good crash pad is a wise choice. This thick protective mat is made from materials such as high-density polyurethane foam and EVA foam, designed to dissipate the impact energy and prevent traumatic or dangerous ground falls from a few meters high.

Different models are available, varying in thickness, dimensions, and landing surfaces. You’ll find mini crash pads that are easy to carry, intermediate models, and maxi crash pads offering impressive cushioning but at a higher weight.

For example, Petzl offers the Alto model with 10 cm of foam and a 118x100 cm surface, while the Cirro model provides more generous cushioning with 12.5 cm of foam and a surface of 148x118 cm.

Snap makes the Hip model with 10 cm of foam, the Grand Rebound with 12 cm, and the Guts with 14 cm for premium impact absorption.

However, keep in mind that the bigger and thicker the crash pad, the heavier it is to carry. It's important to find a balance between cushioning and practicality.

Here’s a shortlist of the different crash pads available:

Brand Model Surface Area Thickness Weight
Snap One 1 m² 10 cm 3.5 kg
Snap Hip 1.2 m² 10 cm 3.9 kg
Snap Hop 1.2 m² 10 cm 4 kg
Snap Grand Stamina 1.5 m² 11 cm 7.5 kg
Snap Grand Rebound 1.7 m² 12 cm 8.6 kg
Snap Guts 1.5 m² 14 cm 8.5 kg
Petzl Alto 1.18 m² 10 cm 5.7 kg
Petzl Cirro 1.74 m² 12.5 cm 9.4 kg
Black Diamond Circuit 1.10 m² 10 cm 3.6 kg

Climbing Mat: Essential for Bouldering

By strategically placing the crash pad under the riskiest part of the boulder problem, you can prevent injuries and reduce risks. Combining multiple pads side by side increases the protection area, while stacking them enhances impact absorption.

Top Brand Crash Pads at the Best Price: Snap, Black Diamond, Beal, Petzl

Brands like Petzl, Beal, Black Diamond, and Snap Climbing offer a range of lightweight crash pads that deliver excellent performance. While the core cushioning principle remains the same, small design features can make a big difference—such as removable shoulder straps for backpack-style carrying, the ability to connect crash pads together, or multiple carrying systems that allow you to transport several pads comfortably.
