Entry level crashpad

Looking for insight on purchasing an entry level chrashpad. Wanting the best bang for the buck (aren't we all). Any advice would be great...thanks!

Can't go wrong with the Mad Rock Mad Pad, the Organic Simple or Full Pad are also good

I bought an entry level pad. After a year (and I don't boulder that much) it was pretty soft. If you like to boulder get the Organic Full/Simple pad and enjoy much more for your money.

It's all going to depend on your price range.

Best for the money-Mad Rock Mad Pad, usually on sale places for about 100 bucks. Foam won't last as long as others, but it's not the soft piece of crap some people think it is.

If you can buck up a little more cash, I used to own a BD Mondo and currently own an Asana KB Highball, both of which get my vote. Asana makes some amazing pads, the mondo is pretty good too. You can't go wrong with Organic either.

Whatever you do, don't get the Metolius stomp. The price tag looks nice, but you'll find yourself wanting more after a few sessions, and it isn't very durable over rough terrain.

I disagree, I think the metolius stomp is a fine crashpad, mine still catches falls well after a year and a half, I do have to say that the nylon material on the backside isn't very durable though.
