The Black Diamond Impact is one of the lightest and best crashpads on the market. It’s so light that it even makes sense to carry two of them. This is my go-to pad for international trips, but when it comes to high-ball projects, I’d much rather have a Mondo (or three) beneath me.
This pad is great for someone who does not need a larger size pad but does want a quality product with handy features and really likes the flat folding benefits of the hinge design. It could also be good simply as an extra pad since this pad is just smaller than average size and weight, and folds up so well. The dual carry handles on the top side makes it very streamlined and easy to transport and carry. This would be a great pad to use in conjunction with a larger-sized pad and/or a few other small-to-medium size pads to cover larger landing zones for more intense bouldering, but not used by itself, since the dimensions are not large enough to catch both your butt and your head in a fall. Unless you're very short (under 5') then it's only big enough when used alone for either padding your head area or your butt area if you don't land on your feet in a fall. So, that said, this pad is not meant to be used by itself for extreme bouldering falls but is a great pad for average falls on your feet and to be used in conjunction with another pad or pads for bigger or harder on-your-back type falls.
