I've been trying to decide whether to go with the Metolius Magnum or to go with a few of the Organic pads (like the full pad and a half pad). So I want to get some opinions. Not necessarily which is a better brand but whether there are advantages in going with one large pad or multiple smaller pads. I already own a Metolius Fat Bastard so I'm just looking to get some more ground coverage for a variety of situations. Thanks
I think it depends on the terrain. Bouldering in talus fields, it can be good to have more pads, so that you can fill up holes, pad a dangerous nearby boulder, etc. The little organic briefcase pad is also nice to have around for cramped sit starts on low roofs. For high problems over good landings (pretty common in the south), I'd rather have at least one big pad.
