Ok I've had the Mondo "one" for now a little under 3 years. Since that time I think its the best pad I have in my quiver, (And I've got a lot of freaking pads.) As far as falling out of the sky 35 feet up its nice to see that big red pad... BUT here is what makes the pad not so hot.

The straps suck and are meant of people taller and broader in the shoulders then myself. Mind you I'm 5'10", and my shoulders are not what I would call small. Also the padding or lack of padding makes this a real monster to haul around on long approaches.

The Fold design could have been better designed. Although I have no rolled my ankle on it I have friends that have and when your falling that high and that fast your often not going to think about your foot placement... if your happen to land feet first.

Also the foam now after three years of weekly use is starting to die (AKA I bottomed out the other say on a high ball). Now mind you this pad has not spent its weeks in a sun baking car or anything like that. So I'm a bit annoyed to say the least.

Finally stuffing gear in the middle. This pad is not meant to carry gear well or with any sense of security. so if you do carry gear in, shoes, water bottles, brushes, cameras, and snacks... throw them all in bags and beaner the hell out of them.

But if your going to work on highballs or your just scared of hitting the ground and you have the cash. This monster pad did me well for 3 years and I would not trade that time for anything.
