Hello,
Im new to the forum and i was wondering if any one could give me a review of the metolius Behemoth Crash Pad. I can get it for a very good price $188 rather than the retail $285. I know that metoluis makes good pads but i was wondering of the sheer size of this pad makes it to unweildy to consider. I havent been able to find any reviews on it so any help is greatly appreciated. I plan to use it at some highballs i just found near my house and probly stoney point

The thing is massive. If you have a car, it's probably not going to fit in the trunk. It's also really top-heavy, so when you're carrying it you'll have some balance issues. On the plus side, the pad is nice, keeps you safe, and covers a big area.

I find that I almost never bring it anywhere with me, because it's so large and unwieldy.

would you buy it instead of a fat bastard? if you could get the Behemoth for $188. Im only asking because i want a big pad and the the behemoth is the only one i can get cheap.

Buy it, and you can always resell it for more than you paid for it if you don't like it. It does the job, extremely well. It's just bulky.
