Any worthy alternatives to Organic pads?

Go with the 5" organic big pad, plus a half pad to stuff inside. Well worth it IMO. The 1/2 pad fills holes, and little stuff so well. Opens way more problems than you would think.

I've really been impressed with the Asaan KJ Highball pad. Solid simple design and I've beat the crap out of mine for 2 years and it's still great. My standard set up is the KJ plus the pro-spotter.

I've got a Metolius Boss Hog and Sketch, also have the Mad rock R3. Out of the three I like the R3 the most. It conforms to landings really well, and I like landing on it. I have used an Organic and probably dig them the most.

I have an Organic 5" Big Pad and LOVE it. It's by far the BEST pad I or my friends have used. Granted we haven't tried all the brands, mostly just the bigger companies (Black Diamond, Mad Rock, etc), but the Organic rocks. Customer service is EXCELLENT, craftsmanship and quality is very high, and it's cool that my design is one of a kind. If anyone ever steals my pad, I'll know!

Before deciding on the Organic Big Pad, I really wanted the Edelrid Crux II (HUGE surface area for landing and amazing reviews) but they are near impossible to find in the states. If you could find one, I think it would be awesome (I'll probably purchase one if I ever get so lucky to come across one), but otherwise I'd go Organic hands down.

reboot I use a big organic and a smaller mad rock pad (could have been an organic just isn't) and a slider pad. The combo is pretty nice for irregular surfaces. Slider pad is good for sit starts and to place where two pads meet or just toss over a random little boulder as a "better than nothing" measure.

I just ordered the Dead Point 2. Says the dimensions are 54.6 x 44.9 inches + sit start pad. this website is having a 20% off sale so I got it for $174!

Just go with Organic. I have a Full pad, which is still one of my favorite pads. I've used others, but nothing comes close to the catch on the Organic. Customer service is top notch, and Josh is an awesome guy to boot. The craftsmanship truly shows through on his pads.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
