Black Diamond reintroduces the Satellite Crash Pad, formerly sold under the Franklin Climbing Equipment name, with the same burly padding and construction that defined this small circuit pad to boulderers around the world. One solid inch of closed-cell foam caps two inches of open-cell foam for a heel-saving three-inch deep landing. This pad is the perfect lightweight supplement to another pad, or it stands alone as a cushy circuit pad. A unique hybrid-hinge design combines one continuous foam top sheet with a hinged bottom section, yielding a pad that folds as easily and compactly as a hinged pad but without the dangerous hinge gap. Black Diamond designed the Satellite specifically for small European cars, so if space is a concern, this is the pad to use. Aluminum buckles, reinforced corners, and double-stitched seams add years to the life of a pad that's meant to get a beat down.
Bottom Line: Orbit the bouldering circuit with the Satellite.
