I have a large Cordless. It is killer! When shopping, look for burrito-style pads. It'll save your ankles. Good luck!

I have the basic metolious pad, and it's fine since I stretch on it then leave it while I boulder usually. The real trick is on climbing trips where I use it for sleeping. Put it upside down so you can sleep on the softer foam.

The Globe crash pad is pretty good, did well in the "climbing" review works well in life. It's also pretty cheap as these things go. Good luck, Sam

i agree with climbjs, I'm waiting for my cordless, and in Climbing I think they said it was one of the top three favs of the crash pads they reviewed

I have the Metolius XXL, it is huge and awesome. The Evil is good and anything by Zeolot...but be warned they are expensive.

That crash pad article is also available online: http://www.climbing.com/Pages/equipment/equipment-214.html You might also check the crash pad threads under Bouldering.
