Ocun - Paddy Kava V2 Bergfreunde Edition - Crash pad

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

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!

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.

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.
