North Carolina based Misty Mountain Threadworks has a reputation for producing high quality sewn gear. Misty has established this track record over the years by designing and manufacturing an array of climbing goods. Following the recent surge in the popularity of bouldering, Misty now offers a respectable line of crash pads and related gear, all built to take abuse.
Misty Mountain manufactures two bouldering pad models.
Both pads feature the hingeless or taco design. The shells of the pads are made of super strong 1050 denier ballistics nylon. All seams are double stitched, and all handles and straps are secured with stout triple bar tacking. The landing zone is auto carpet, which is plenty bombproof and perfect for wiping your feet before embarking on your vertical journeys. To fairly test the Misty Highlander pad, we requested one that had been used for some time.
