Consumer Reports

The Mad Rock Duo earns our highest recommendation for its innovative strap system that enables you to carry a second pad easily &#40;and even a third, with some difficulty&#41;. If you need to carry an extra pad, the Duo makes this a non-issue. This pad also boasts an impressively thick foam. It is loaded with extra features, such as an excellent suspension system with a sternum strap, convenient handles, strap keeper pockets, a pad to wipe off your shoes, and the ability to turn it into a couch. It's large enough to be used as a standalone pad and combines well with an extra pad for more coverage, particularly with other Mad Rock pads that include the Velcro closure strips to keep them together. For those who boulder alone or want to maximize ground coverage, it's a fantastic option. Its price is also very fair compared to many of the higher-priced options available, increasing the appeal of this great pad to a larger audience.
Like other pads with Mad Rock's 5-inch foam, the Duo is relatively stiff for low falls and awkward landings, where softer foam tends to provide a gentler impact. Though the pad softens up over time, we found it to be relatively firm through the break-in process. While feature-laden products can sometimes seem like a gimmick, our testers were surprised by just how much they came to love the useful additions on this pad, which became our overall favorite in a short time. 

Switchback Travel

Carrying two crash pads can be cumbersome, and sometimes the setup is so insecure that you drop one halfway through the approach. But with a simple flap that extends over a second pad of any size, the Mad Rock Duo makes carrying multiple pads a non-issue. It’s a small feature, but enough to make the Mad Rock one of our favorites. It doesn’t hurt that the Duo is well-cushioned with a beefy and adjustable suspension and weather-resistant fabric. And like most Mad Rock designs, it’s a thick 5 inches and has Velcro strips to connect to other pads for continuous flooring.

The Duo’s strong suit also creates one of its downsides. Once unpacked, a mess of straps and flaps hang off the pad. In addition, the padding is cushier than the Organic Big Pad or Black Diamond Mondo above, with a tendency to grow softer over time. And finally, the nylon face fabric is much less durable than the competition, and the Duo is heavy for a full pad (although its beefy suspension is what makes for comfortable carrying). But we love the generous 5-inch dose of foam, and if you’re routinely toting multiple pads to boulder fields, the Mad Rock is a top performer. The Duo is in short supply at the time of publishing, but another option in this category is Organic’s Backfourty ($399), which is made in collaboration with Mystery Ranch Backpacks.See the Mad Rock Duo

Best Bouldering Crash Pad of 2022 - GearLab

 Mad rock crash pads are generally top of the line, but for some reason the Duo seems to have missed the quality check. Poor stitching in multiple places that just does not live up to bar, unnaceptable for something that's going to be thrown through the ringer.

. except for the build quality. Mad rock crash pads are generally top of the line, but for some reason the Duo seems to have missed the quality check. Poor stitching in multiple places that just does not live up to bar, unnaceptable for something that's going to be thrown through the ringer

Great features, great pad, poor stitching.

This pad doesn’t have any nice bells or whistles, but it’s thicker than most and an amazing price. If you buy things because they get the job done and do it well, this this is the pad for you.

Perfect Pad

Great bang for the buck compared to other pads at this size. Has solid build quality and the best carrying system for additional pads and gear. The only question is if the foam is a durable as the competition. Only time will tell! No regrets on my purchase!

Great pad! One question remains though!

Haven't quite put it through the wringer yet but for the size and price you cannot go wrong. Well build and the strap holds additional pads well.

Nice size and versatility for the price

This pad ticks the specific boxes that I was looking for. It is a larger pad but easily fits in the back of my car (Subaru Forester) without having the drop the seats, and it has a means of attaching a second pad. I go bouldering alone pretty often and being able to easily carry out more padding is a big consideration. Alternatively, when I go bouldering with others this pad fits nicely in the car packed with other pads, friends, and the dog

Overall this pad isn't my perfect pad, but the price was right and it fit what I wanted better than other pads on the market.

Good pad

I love the size, the plethora of straps makes it easy to turn into a couch and attach extra pads to the back. Seems like great quality so far. Very pleased.

Great bonus features

Best for Most

Our testers all enjoy bouldering with the Organic Simple. It has a hybrid suitcase-style closure that combines the traditional suitcase design's packability with the benefits of protection from a taco-style closure. The Simple has handles on both sides of the pad when folded, giving you multiple carrying options while moving between boulders. It's made of the most durable nylon in our test, and its metal closure buckles are our favorite. The backpack system is among the most comfortable out of all the crash pads we tested. 
The Simple might not be for you if you are looking for a crash pad loaded with features. It's on the opposite end of the spectrum from the Duo in this regard, but that's not necessarily a terrible thing. Our testers could carry everything they needed; however, if you like to pack lots of gear, the Simple does not hold much more than a small daypack. It's also on the smaller side of the surface area spectrum, which may be an issue for some. If you are not concerned with these drawbacks, then the Simple might be that durable daily driver pad you have been searching for.

The Organic Simple Pad is relatively light at 11 pounds. With three grab handles and no extra flap to contend with, it was one of the easiest pads to move or throw into small spaces in boulder talus fields. Continue Reading

The Organic Simple Pad uses 1050d Cordura nylon for the outer shell and 1000d Cordura for the landing surface. Although it was not the highest denier nylon in our test, the Organic pad showed very little wear and tear to the shell. It is also worthy to note that the Organic Simple Pad was the only pad in our test to use the Cordura brand ballistic nylon which is manufactured in the US.

Review: Organic Simple Pad

 So this is the foam of a one of our competitors, scratched bed and, as you can see, it's giving a little bit more. I'M not quite hitting the ground, but it's giving a lot more, and this is the foam from a budget crash pad um, the cheapest ones you can get and, as you can see, you're hitting the ground bottoming out. This earnest effort to make every possible improvement applies to even the smallest things: the closed cell foam. We use it's in a closed cell foam at all

 This earnest effort to make every possible improvement applies to even the smallest things: the closed cell foam. We use it's in a closed cell foam at all. It'S actually a kind of a proprietary product that it doesn't break down over time. So what that means is, as you're falling on your crash bed for you know months on end, it's not gon na the foam isn't gon na flatten out um you're, not gon na have a pancake you're still gon na have a good support to fall on the Reason that's important is because, as people are climbing higher and higher they're, putting a lot more stress on their crash pads and this bouldering is becoming, you know more and more popular there's, there's more people out there doing it and in terms of a environmental impact, we Don'T need that question following being thrown away into landfills or even being made for that matter

America, Industrial miracle of the century, from all the states flow bounteous Li, the products of forest mine, Enfield, hey, I'm Josh Halki. I own organic, climbing and we're here to show you how we make a bouldering paths once we get in order and we bring it here to the shop. We start from scratch with fabric on huge bolts. We don't have anything made outside of our shop

Organic Climbing Crash Pad Overview

 So, if you're on a problem where there's like an overhang you can have, this is your main pad in the back and start in the foreground as a sit pad. So when you're coming back and you get higher, you'll have more of a landing area here. So in these pads there's an inch of high density, foam and three inches of regular foam. I can show you here so if you open this here, see what's going on there, you have an inch of high density stuff, and then you have the regular foam underneath

 These pads out make another video and update you guys on how good they actually are so stay tuned. 

 Everyone loves them. They'Re super responsive got the pads here i mean within a week uh, which i was really surprised about because they use custom.
