Has anyone used these Evolv crash pads before? I'm in the market for a cheep crash pad and there is an Evolv outlet about an hour away. Was thinking about picking one up for cheep but didn't want to make the drive/buy it if they weren't any good.
it's a good size and 4" thick which is good, other than that there's not much to a good crash pad. throw an old car floor mat in there for wiping shoes. if you can get it for $100 or less go for it.
I looked at it in an REI. I've never used it, so take my opinion for whatever it's worth to you.
The thing is TINY. Like 2/3rds the size of a Met Stomp pad, which is already a tiny pad. Thickness wise I can't remember (I guess 4" from what the previous poster said, but somehow i don't remember it being quite that thick..). So as a supplement pad, maybe it might be good if you can get it for under 75 bucks or so, but as your only pad I'd get something bigger.
For the small one, I think they're selling it at the outlet for like $65. This was a few months ago though so maybe the price has changed. They also have a larger one with a bigger surface area, but I think the same thickness.
Will probably just skip out on this because of how thin it is, even considering the price. Thanks for the input guys.

Cheap foam means that in a few months, you've essentially got a couch cushion, good foam can take landings for a few years and not blow out or pack down. You can't quantify it with only size and thickness (that's what I told your mom).
OP said he was looking for a cheap crash pad. for the price he can get it for it's a good size, good thickness; if it doesn't have the greatest foam than it's still a good deal for under $100. if 4" isn't thick enough and 32x42 isn't large enough, than the word cheap needs to be removed from the equation. the mom comment was genius you're a really funny guy go f yourself.
