The crash pad is very durable also more comfortable which provides a soft landing.
This reduction in manufacturing costs and use of environmental waste enables mad rock to provide a high quality 1680 denier nylon shell that they say is the most durable in the industry.
It s durable enough to last for well over a year of climbing but when it s time for new foam mad rock will refill your existing pad.

The r3 reduce reuse recycle uses recycled eva pu foam that according to mad rock would normally be collected and shipped for disposal.
The mad rock r3 is less expensive than the mad rock duo with less of the multi pad bells and whistles but it comes with plenty of space for packing additional gear.
For its size it is relatively light and compact.
