Anyone ever use one of those Flashed Ronin air pads? I've never really heard anything about them, good or bad. I've seen a couple used ones for sale lately, and it got me thinking...but my guess is you're better off with a MOndo.

Need to buy a Mondo.

Wonder if I can get some stimulus money from Obama to buy one? I bet ACORN will help me out, or maybe La Raza.

Whats that WB? IGNORE!

I have been having this debate lately too. People keep recommending Organic, citing their durability. Their big pad is like 70 bucks cheaper than a mondo too. I am still debating for another couple of paychecks.

Wanted one of these bad boys but the damn things cost nearly 500 bucks with shipping.

Organic may be the trendy blah blah blah, but their pads are solid and the biggest one only runs you ~$350 with shipping. They also fit into the back seat of most cars. Ended up buying one a few months ago due to revolution being so damn expensive, been happy with it.

Now where's the shoe thread?

i like the moons pads .. no one mentioned that .. so here i am. they feel rigid like the organic. tougher than the mondo. a little hard to un-taco, but you can lay em upside down and use that handy strap flap.

voodoo has caught my fat-filled body a few times with no ill effects, but the carpet is thin. also, the older fastening system (quick release buckles) is lame. have they changed that yet?

You are jealous of my dueling magnum 2x 12 Gauge PAD QUIVER bitch! With Mondo for backup and 4 smaller pads for other coverage. Now all I gotta do is go climbing again.
