Phud Reviews

Hi Pauline, Make no mistake this is isn’t a DropZone. The foam is as good but the shell is much cheaper. The Dropzone is a taco hybrid, where as the Phud has hinge, both types have advantages and disadvantages. Phud comes guaranteed next working day if ordered before 2pm. Phud Pro’s: Cost, Lightweight, High Quality Foam, Postage included. Cons: Polyester shell, no rucksack straps, hinge design. Hope this helps.

Hi considering buying a Phud having read all the feedback sounds great.How does it compare to a Franklyn drop zone 2? That is the other one we were considering! How long does it take to arrive after ordering?

i definitely agree with martin!!! customer service at top!!! i had the pad at my place in italy three days after the order!!! keep it up!!!

Hi i used the phud in font and the mat was brilliant. I took a few falls on it and i bounce right back up for another go for the price it is a fantastic mat. i would certainly but another one and have been recommending it to all of my bouldering mates. The other thing i was really impressed at was the service i got from nick at alpkit best customer service i have experienced in a long time thank you nick and thank you alpkit.

Well I have been busy but people have run off with the prototypes before I had a chance to photograph them, Sorry :(. In reply to Jamie H, the bag will be water resistant but as with most rucksack it would be just too expensive to make it completely waterproof. The Phud is pretty waterproof anyway, the only way any water can enter its innerd’s would be through the stitching. As this is all located on the top you have a couple of inches of protection already. Ok, the velcro will let some water in aswell. Photos to come soon… I promise.

Will the bag for the Phud be waterproof possibly so you could leave it on the Phud whilst in use and therefore make the mat a bit more impervious to water or help keep it clean? I dont know how this would work in terms of the straps being underneath the mat as you fell on it and wether this owuld compromise its comfort/make it more prone to slip etc?  Just an idea!  J

Well i have been busy on Phud development and should have three new phud variations to put up for review early next week… the first is the phudsac, a heavy duty bag with a full rucksack harness to lug your phud about. and anything else you want to carry with it. The second offering is El’phud, a burrito style phud. And the third is the single phud mat but with a little twist!!! More next week.

Bought a Phud and been using it for a few weeks now. The quality is excellent at the price and it has saved me from a few high drops. Would definitely consider buying the half mat if it became available.

tried out my Phud this weekend and it was great. in fact better than great. i honestly like it as much as the crashpads ive tried that cost double what this one cost. The simple constriction makes it easier and simpler to use. 

The Phud is excellent value and performance. The one i bought is the earlier version supplied with the basic shoulder strap (not complaining!), but do you guys have plans to release a cover with rucksack style straps anytime soon? Even the latest version of the Phus has a slight upgrade with the handle able to go diagonally across the bag which would be easier to carry. Keep up the superb work J
