Don’t worry Doug, Phuds going no-where soon. In fact once we get all the feedback on Woomf we are hoping to add a few upgrades to him. Even without the upgrades he’ll have to rise in price though. Foam..oil..bucks!!

Have had your Phud pad for a couple of weeks and it has done brilliantly saving my lardy arse on leaps from Dumbarton boulders. Well done, I wish your company every success.

Any news on the other Phud designs (El’Phud, Phudsac) you refer to above, and what sort of timescale before they may be available. These alternative designs may be more what I’m after, but if it’s going to be a while, I may just go for the standard Phud.

When is the small single version going to become available, what size and what price please?

Thanks it does help it sounds ideal for a climber just starting out. My hubby & sprog will I’m sure enjoy. It will do as a starter and if we like we’ll buy another later. I’ve placed my order!!

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?

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.
