layton Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Well it finally turned the damn thing into tatters. I'd have more insulation from laying a paper towel (or two) down right now.. ...so! It's time to get myself a new one. I got mine at MEC a long time ago, do those bastards still not ship to the us anymore? Where can I get one in the united states? http://www.mec.ca/Products/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442094583&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302701645&bmUID=1266988094351 Edited February 24, 2010 by layton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Doesn't everyone in utah use bouldering pads? I think everyone there prefers blow-up dolls. Mike, sometimes you can get those things are military surplus or general outdoor stores for just a few bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_H Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Get one of the down-filled inflatable jobs. Being a hardman is overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Get one of the down-filled inflatable jobs. Being a hardman is overrated. Wait, they make down-filled blow up dolls now? What? Won't the down get compromised? Are they 900-fill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete_H Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Not dolls but inflatable sheep for real alpine comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Piston Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 My partner has one, but I doubt he'd part with it. He still uses an MSR helmet and has fleece from climbing Denali a few decades ago. It is a bit smelly and tattered, with lots of duct tape (see picture) I like the Z-rest myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackers Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Mike, I think you might know somebody who has nefarious sources of the stuff. edit: also, I'm pretty sure that MEC will send those pads to us yanks...did you actually talk to anybody and try to get it shipped to you? or did watching ice dancing with brit turn you into a canada hater?

ericb Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Got myself a gray one (Evazote) at Gossamer Gear a couple years back...looks like they are out of the 3/8" right now though http://www.gossamergear.com/cgi-bin/gossamergear/thinlight.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 cool I picked up the 1/4" - it's ~1mm thicker than the MEC model so I won't be a as hard of a hardman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 uh huh huh...uh huh huh...he said "hard". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Piston Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I dropped by Pro Mountain Sports yesterday, and Mr. Nelson said he was sold out and not sure if he would reorder. Sorry Layton...at least Yellow Hardman gave you good service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael_H Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 cool I picked up the 1/4" - it's ~1mm thicker than the MEC model so I won't be a as hard of a hardman Mike, how do you like the Gossamer pad? I ordered 2 1/8-s, got them but they look and feel just like a blue pad. Now, I never touched a yellow pad, but my understanding of Evasote is that it is quite stiff, denser than the blue and the surface is not bubbly and hence smother to touch, kinda velvety. Will you please let me know if your grey is just like the yellow? Thank you in advance! Rafael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genepires Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Rafael, I thought you were a ultra hardman who would have slept on flaked out climbing rope. Isn't that what the usual old eastern block thing way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layton Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 it feels the same to me, maybe a little stickier surface. I already spent several nights on the snow with it and was fine with the 1/4" size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafael_H Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Aha, great, thank you very much Mike! Gene, funny that you'd mention it but I did sleep on ropes just once, not of my choosing by any means. And where the heck are you anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
