Product Information
Full details
The Black Diamond Circuit Crash Pad is designed for budget-conscious boulderers seeking a reliable daily workhorse. Its key benefit is providing solid impact protection with a lightweight, easily transportable design. A potential caveat is its 10cm padding thickness, which may be less substantial for very high falls compared to thicker pads. This crash pad features a closed-cell PE foam layup bonded to high compression PU foam, a PU-coated 900D nylon face, and a hinge-style fold for compact transport. It also includes an integrated multi-pad carry system and square corners for better coverage when combined with other pads.

Can this pad be used for very high bouldering falls?
The Circuit Crash Pad is designed for daily bouldering and moderate falls. While it provides good protection, climbers attempting very high falls may prefer pads with greater thickness and higher density foam.
How does the integrated multi-pad system work?
The system is designed to allow you to easily attach and carry multiple crash pads together, often utilizing the existing straps and buckles.
Troubleshooting
Pad feels stiff or less cushioned after storage.
This can happen if the foam has been compressed for a long time. Unfold the pad completely and allow it to sit in a warm environment for a few hours to regain its loft and cushioning.
Buckles are difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure there is no dirt or debris obstructing the buckles. Clean them gently with a dry brush. If stiffness persists, a very small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied sparingly to the buckle mechanism.
Carrying straps feel uncomfortable or dig in.
Adjust the shoulder straps and waist belt to distribute the weight evenly. Ensure the pad is not over-packed, which can add unnecessary bulk and discomfort.
Fabric shows signs of wear or small tears.
For minor abrasions, consider using fabric repair tape designed for outdoor gear. For larger tears, consult a professional gear repair service to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the pad are maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unfold the crash pad. Adjust the shoulder straps and waist belt for a comfortable fit when carrying. Secure the easy hook metal buckles to ensure the pad remains closed during transport.
Compatibility:
The Circuit Crash Pad is designed to be compatible with other crash pads. Its square corners allow for seamless placement alongside other pads to create a larger, continuous landing zone. The integrated multi-pad carry system is intended to facilitate the transport of multiple pads together.
Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the pad with a damp cloth to remove dirt and chalk. Avoid harsh detergents or solvents.
- Drying: If the pad becomes wet, allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store the pad in a cool, dry place. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight can degrade the foam and fabric. It is recommended to store it flat or folded loosely.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the pad for any tears, significant wear, or damage to the foam or stitching. Address any issues promptly to maintain its protective qualities.
