Ordered my Phud yesterday & it arrived today,for £80.00 it is excellent value & a really solid piece of kit(have had the kids jumping off the couch on to it as a tester),so why are all the other bouldering mats on the market nearly double this price? Very impressed and will order from them again. Kev.

Hi chaps.


Got the two mat deal and love them! Very sturdy and great to fall on and you get two mats for the price of one from another manufacturer! Wonderful! Have had a couple of sessions on them already and they are fantastic. Great quick service and delivery.

I’ve had my Phud for five years now and love it.  The buckles were a pain as they kept unclipping and 1 broke after opening up. They have been replaced with small carabiners on clove hitches which is more reliable.  The stitching in the middle where the shoulder straps thread through ripped, so it can’t be backpacked any more, I would suggest reinforcing this area in future.  These are the only problems I’ve had and are minor, so well done!

Myself and a friend paid half each towards a Phud mat, and after using it at Stanage, The Roaches, and Robin Hood’s Stride, among other places, find that it does the job really well, seems just the right density/firmness to land on, a good size and thickness, It’s well put together,great for the price. definitely recommended!

Top notch all round !

My first bouldering mat, it seems to hold up well jumping on it from the bed, perhaps a little bit more solid than other ones; but overall it seems really good and can’t wait to try it out at the roaches this weekend. Truly exceptional service, the product is immaculate, the price is phenomenally good and the delivery actually was next working day (one of the few companies i have bought from that say this and actually manage it). Just want to say thanks and i will definitely be buying from here more often.

Ordered myself a Phud late Sunday evening…order processed yesterday (Monday) and it arrived today. Am so impressed with the speed, especially as you don’t charge extra for this!! Just wish it would stop raining so I can go use it. Will definately be using Alpkit again.

I’ve now got two of these mats, and they are both of amazing quality. the first one i have had for little over a year now and it is still an amazing bouldering mat as far as i am concerned. Although the carry straps are just starting to come off, i’m fairly certain from the way the mat is put together that i will be able to fix this myself without too much hastle!
Amazing quality of stuff for a really good price, can’t get much better than that!
