Looking for a used crash mat or recommendations on a new one -- best bang for the buck.

I'd go for a Flashed pad for sure. We use the Squamish boulders as our main testing ground because the landings are notoriusly hard on pads and the stacked boulders and thick forest environment point out problems with carrying system set ups. We feel that if our pads can hold up in Squish and let our climbers confidently negotiate the terrain here, they'll hold up and allow freedom of movement anywhere. Flashed pads are super solid and made here in Canada by climbers for climbers. But, don't take my word for it go check one out at Climb On, Valhalla Pure, or MEC. You'll be glad you did.

Wow. Now there's a plug if I've ever seen one...
