One of the best bouldering mats for the price!

The cost and diversity of this bouldering mat made it an easy choice. The adaptability to be used in different configurations and the zip means that you can potentially have 3 different mats in one package and easy to store unit.

Great buy

This is the second one I have order due to the fact that for the price you won't find a better boulder pad anywhere. It's real comfortable yet hard enough that you know your not going to roll an ankle or wrist on impact. The first pad I order has taken some serious abuse and only has a small punch hole to show for this but due to the nature of the sport this was always likely to happen. Delivery was prompt but have to say that the uk delivery company need to seriously work on their tracking system as when I received the pad the tracking service said it was still in koln.

Cheap, not hardwaring

Wore through the side stitching fairly quickly compared to other pads. Pretty thin, but does the job. Good closure system. Doesn't have the attachment system that the dominators have for carrying multiple pads. Sad about the lesser quality of material joining, so depends on what you're looking for out of your pad

Good Matt, does the job!

It's much stiffer than most matts, but I quite prefer that - particularly when you have a particularly rocky landing. It's quite small compared to other matts also - which can be good or bad. Pair it with a big cushiony moon matt and you're good!

Cheap and cheerful

It is decent size and while the cushioning is very stiff and takes a while to break in, it does the job very well. Took two on recent trip to Font and they were perfect.

And sleep pad.. ?

I'm not much of a boulderer so haven't used it much as a crash pad. I bought it because of the price and the 2 ways it can be zipped. I have slept on it several times. It needs a soft topper to make it comfortable unless you like a super firm matress.
I haven't managed to use the straps to make an easy chair that doesn't roll back yet ;o)

Bought for my two sons as Parkour mats... very well tested and haven’t put a foot wrong. Padding is excellent and just firm enough.... strongly recommend as a portable mat/crash pad

Great Buy

For the price and performance, you won't find better. Stacks up favourably against my high baller. The sideways zip out traverse feature is a great idea.

Worth the money but you get what you pay for

The pad is alright, frustratingly the first time I took it out bouldering the stitching popped down longest side of the zip. Have since taped it up but not yet used it so hope it'll hold out when I do.

Nice mat

My first mat. I'd recommend it to others. I've had the mat around 10 months, and I've just returned from a week long climbing trip. It's held up very well.. and saved my ankles from a couple of high falls :o

Not quite the same bomb proof stitching as it's competitors but an unbeatable pad for the money.

Great value pad

After much searching, I finally came across this pad. One of the greatest pad area/cost of all the pads I could find. Plastic backing means you don't end up with a wet back if the pads been used on damp ground. The long zip around the pad edge keeps gear in when walking in. Good padding, able to cover a good range of boulders with the ability to open out. Only way it could be better would be if the two pads could fully separate!

Great buy

I searched for a long time to find the right pad at the right price. This stacks up well against all the big brands. Really light to carry, comfortable straps, fantastic price. Used a few times, the pad provides good protection.

Question from Dan

Hi, does the pad completely separate into two individual pieces?

Hi Dan,

Yes. The pads can be seperate , zipped together length ways or zipped together side ways.

Dan

Thanks. Could it be 2 individual 60x100x9 pieces to use as 2 separate half pads without zipping them together?

Adrian (Community) | Customer Service

Correct.

Can they be connected

OCUN Paddy Kava V2 Bergfreunde Edition - Crash pad

I have one of these and would like to buy a second one and connect them together to make a larger mat. Is that possible? Thanks

Hi Nicola, It's not possible to couple two of these pads together.

Question from Sharon
14.12.2019
What are the dimensions? What is the foam quality? Please

Erik

Hi Sharon,
depending on how you zip it the dimensions are 120 x 100 x 9 cm or 60 x 200 x 9 cm.
The foam consists of two layers: 4 cm of PE foam + 5 cm of PUR foam.
Best, Erik
