The R3 is an eco - friendly bouldering pad designed for those tricky landings. The baffles of this new pad are filled with recycled EVA foam, which would otherwise be collected and sent for disposal. This not only helps protect the environment but also reduces manufacturing costs. Thanks to these savings, we've covered the pad with a 1680 denier shell, the most durable in the industry, and it has a UV - resistant treatment. The ground shield unfolds to keep dirt and moisture away from the suspension system.Features include a recycled foam design that safeguards both the planet and your ankles. It comes with a backpack - style carrying system for easy transport. The packed dimensions are 90 x 67 x 30 cm, and when unfolded, it measures 130 x 90 x 12 cm, weighing 7.8 kg. A tester from Climbing.com said, 'When I needed this pad, I really needed it.' After using it for a month in Hueco Tanks, Texas, they noted that the separated foam tubes protected hard - to - reach obstacles in the landing zone, keeping ankles and backsides safe. Despite weighing 18 lbs, it covers 55” x 35” x 4” (about half a foot longer than other mid - sized pads), and its weight helps it stay in place on angled landings. The fully padded shoulder straps and waistbelt make carrying the weight a breeze. The R3's baffled construction is filled with inexpensive, recycled EVA foam instead of costly open and closed - cell foam sheets, saving on manufacturing costs and passing those savings on to you. Bonus: One user even found it as comfortable as their home bed when sleeping on it in Hueco.NOTE: This item cannot be shipped to Australia.
Using the Mad Rock R3 Boulder Mat is straightforward. First, unfold the mat at your desired bouldering spot. Make sure to open the ground shield to protect the suspension system from dirt and moisture. When you're done climbing, fold it back up and use the backpack - style carrying system to take it with you. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe off any dirt or debris. If it gets wet, let it dry completely before packing it away. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for long periods to prevent damage to the UV - resistant 1680 denier shell. Remember, this item cannot be shipped to Australia, so keep that in mind when making your purchase.
