Today, it is an activity that takes place both outdoors and indoors, constantly setting and surpassing new limits. A new community of urban climbers and environmentalists has emerged. They are passionate, enthusiastic and immersed in their discipline. Further reading: snap climbing.

Snap 2013 construction tournedos 2

CONSTRUCTION TOURNEDOS

This is an exclusive construction method. It is a one-piece reinforcement made of ballistic polyester (1680 denier) that runs the entire length of the crash pad, over, over and under, without any seams on the edges. Try to find a more durable crash pad! For more information, see Holds.

WRAP ORIGINAL1

THE WRAP CRASH PAD

This is a patented model with variable hardness that makes the scarf relatively flexible and comfortable for seated departures, but the higher you go and the longer the descent, the more the crash pad becomes reinforced.
The PU foam is separated into 24 individual cells, each of which is covered by a taffeta envelope, which is slightly perforated. During a small fall, air is expelled through these holes, which results in a softer landing, but this is not the case during a more significant fall. In this case, the air is retained by the envelope because the impact speed is much higher and the air has no time to be expelled. The net result is a firmer crash pad for a high-impact fall – simple but effective. To learn more: Clothing.

SNAPBOARD

An innovative wooden beam where the different holds are placed symmetrically with respect to their respective grips, and not with respect to the center of the board. This means that the width of the shoulders remains constant. Further reading: Shoes.

PLV Magnesie V1

MAGNESIUM CREAM

The first magnesium cream that is thicker than liquid magnesium. It is water-based and can be used frequently because it is less aggressive on the skin. It prioritizes comfort over performance and is easy to clean.

Snap 2003 crash pad quarterpounder

QUARTERPOUNDER CRASH-PAD

Another patented model that folds in four. When unfolded, its landing surface compared to its folded volume is unique. This makes it easy to transport and ideal for block circuits.

SNAP GEAR SNAPACK ORIGINAL 40 OUTDOOR BACK3 scaled 1 scaled

SNAPACK

The first backpack to have a zippered opening between the carrying straps. It is easy to open and gives direct access to all your gear, which, like the straps, remains clean and dry because it never comes into contact with the ground.

CLOTHES WITH DIGITAL RESISTANCE

The logo-shaped seams, sewn by an automatic machine and replacing the traditional straight seams sewn by hand, are used in express lashing and the rappel ring on harnesses.

This is a patented model with variable hardness that makes the scarf relatively flexible and comfortable for seated departures, but the higher you go and the longer the descent, the more the crash pad becomes reinforced.
The PU foam is separated into 24 individual cells, each of which is covered by a taffeta envelope, which is slightly perforated. During a small fall, air is expelled through these holes, which results in a softer landing, but this is not the case during a more significant fall. In this case, the air is retained by the envelope because the impact speed is much higher and the air has no time to be expelled. The net result is a firmer crash pad for a high-impact fall – simple but effective.

SNAPBOARD

An innovative wooden beam where the different holds are placed symmetrically with respect to their respective notches, and not with respect to the center of the board. This means that the width of the shoulders remains constant.
