Features
A budget pad for those wanting to get out on the rock without breaking the bank.The Black Diamond Impact is as large as a Drop Zone but doesn't have the pockets or flaps.
It's made from
64mm open cell foam and
25mm of force dissipating closed cell foam for those harder falls.
The Imact
folds up like a taco and is strapped via
stainless steel buckles and has
padded shoulder pads for easy carying to and from the boulders.

Impact vs dropzone, 16 February 2010
By Matt
I brought this as i had been dissapointed with how long the foam lasted on some other pads.. this is my third pad and probably will be my last. The foam is superbly hard wearing, Gives you great confidence to land on it. Only minor gripe compared with the dropzone the material used on the surface is slippy and not great for landings when on a slope as you slide off it (also not as good for cleaning boots) . But at 25-30quid cheaper than the dropzone all i can see is a different material and no flaps.. 5* for value.. Although if i had a few more quid i'd go for the dropzone.
