There are a ton of crashpads on the market now, but I have had two Metolius crashpads over the past 15 or so years . I like the simple build and burly materials along with the carpet in the middle for cleaning your shoes.
Anyhow the Metolius crashpad is an affordable crashpad for those folks bouldering outside. There are other brands that cost more and accomplish the same thing.

Two new drag handles make it easier to position while open. This versatile, do-it-all crash pad has burly 900d poly outer fabric that protects your pad from abrasion. Cross-clipper logo rug for cleaning shoes, padded shoulder straps, a waist belt, and suitcase-style carry handles. 4″ sandwich foam design for maximum impact absorption, and angled hinges eliminate the gutter. Innovative speed-hook aluminum buckles are guaranteed for life.
