Used the Big Pad and the extra padding and size make a significant difference to their confidence high up.
Their 5-inch Big Pad fits in their car only lengthwise or sideways with both seats folded.
Their go-to setup is one Big Pad and two Full Pads plus sliders, and they always enjoy having the Big Pad.
An Organic Big Pad fit in their friend's BMW, but very tightly.
Organic is the best pad for the price: their Big Pad has only softened a little since December after starting very stiff, outlasting Metolius and Mad Rock pads.
Bought Big, Full and Half pads and it was totally worth it; the Big folds to fit lengthwise behind one seat; Organics are stiff and hard to fit a backpack in at first.
Just got the Organic Big Pad as their first mat and it's huge, hard to fit in the car with a passenger.
No regrets after a year with the Big Pad: the foam is still stiff and coverage is great solo, though it's cumbersome in narrow spots.
Their Organic has lasted longer than Voodoo and the Big Pad worked great climbing alone.
Has a 5-inch Organic Big Pad plus a normal and briefcase pad; would choose the Big Pad alone over the smaller ones.
Regularly uses a Big Pad, Full Pad and scratch mat held together with a cam strap.
Their standard is the 5-inch Organic Big Pad: awesome and highly recommended, but too heavy for long alpine approaches.
Their 4-inch Big Pad plus blubber and sit pad let them comfortably protect many boulders solo.
Used the Big Pad setup before and wouldn't recommend it with others; carrying a Full Organic plus slider and blubber is way better.
Their Big Pad makes a better couch than crash pad; they usually bring three regular pads instead.
Has had their Organic Big Pad for almost 10 years with at least 10 more to go; big and heavy, and carrying other pads on top is miserable, but it lasts forever.
Had a 5-inch Organic Big Pad for years and it was fine, but annoyingly heavy compared with the 4-inch version, so they rarely took it out unless the landing was flat and open.
Has four Organic Big Pads sitting under their home wall after the corners and velcro blew out in just a few seasons.
Has owned Cordless, BD, Mad Rock and Organic pads, including three 5-inch Organic Big Pads; finds Organic's shells, foam and customer service consistently top tier.
Likes the Organic Big Pad with the good alpine straps for uneven talus landings.
A huge fan of the Organic Big Pad; has used it consistently for 4 years and plans to for many more.
Their Organic Big Pad is still going strong after 4 years of heavy use.
Their first pad was the Organic Big Pad; has gone out solo on it and taken some rough falls.
