Product Information
Full details
The Black Diamond Circuit Crash Pad is designed for budget-conscious boulderers seeking a reliable and straightforward crash pad. Its primary benefit is solid impact protection through a combination of closed-cell PE foam and EVA, making it a dependable choice for daily use. A potential consideration is its hinge-style fold, which, while convenient for transport, might offer slightly less continuous coverage than some other folding styles when placed adjacent to other pads.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of the Circuit Crash Pad when folded?
When folded, the Circuit Crash Pad measures approximately 60 x 90 cm.
What is the weight of the crash pad?
The crash pad weighs 3.775 kg (8 lbs 5 oz).
What is the warranty period for this crash pad?
The Black Diamond Circuit Crash Pad comes with a 2-year warranty period.
Can I use this pad for highball bouldering problems?
While it offers good protection, for very high falls, a thicker or multi-pad setup is generally recommended for maximum safety.
How does the foam construction work?
It uses a closed-cell PE foam layup bonded to high compression PU foam, designed to absorb and disperse impact energy effectively.
Is the face fabric waterproof?
The face fabric is PU coated 900D Nylon, which provides water resistance but is not fully waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Pad feels stiff or less cushioned after first use.
The foam may require a few 'bounces' to break in. Use the pad for several sessions to allow the foam to reach optimal cushioning.
Straps are uncomfortable or dig in.
Adjust the shoulder straps and waistbelt for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the weight is distributed evenly.
Pad does not lie flat when unfolded.
Ensure the pad is fully unfolded and has been used a few times. Minor creases from storage will typically reduce with use.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides reliable impact protection for bouldering.
- Lightweight design makes it easier to carry.
- Comfortable suspension system for transport.
- Square corners improve coverage when used with other pads.

- Hinge-style fold may create small gaps when combined with other pads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unfold the crash pad.
- Adjust the shoulder straps and waistbelt for a secure and comfortable fit before carrying.
- When setting up a landing zone, position the pad(s) to cover the area below the climb, ensuring minimal gaps.
Compatibility:
The Circuit Crash Pad is designed to be compatible with other standard crash pads, particularly benefiting from its square corners to create better coverage when placed side-by-side. The integrated multi-pad carry system allows for secure attachment to other Black Diamond pads or similar systems.
Care:
- Cleaning: Spot clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as this can damage the foam and fabric.
- Drying: Allow the pad to air dry completely after use, especially if it has become wet from dew or rain. Do not expose to direct, prolonged sunlight for extended periods, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store the pad in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing it under heavy objects that could deform the foam.
