The JAKK Outdoors Ultimate Glassing Pad
“The JAKK of all Trades Pad”
For successful western hunters, long glassing sessions are the norm. Being comfortable while glassing is imperative, so that you can lock in, stay focused, and find more game. To that end, all the best hunter’s I know use a good glassing pad, but many of these guys, including myself, use something homemade because there isn’t anything ideal on the market. I’ve hunted with a glassing pad like the style of the JAKK Pad for over ten years. I spent years trying to make different off-the-shelf camping foams work for this glassing pad, but there was always some sort of problem with the foams. The problems mostly revolved around weight and durability (since hunters typically use a pad in rockier, rougher terrain than campers). Two years ago, I decided I had had enough with off-the-shelf foams. As a chemical engineer, I knew I could work with a foam supplier to formulate a premium foam with the exact properties that hunters need in a glassing pad used in rocky terrain. The proprietary formulation of the premium JAKK foam provides the best combination of durability, light weight, comfort, and waterproofness for hunters. I am really stoked about bringing this premium pad to the hunting industry because, through years of testing, I consider it a vital piece of gear that goes with me every single time I step into the backcountry. With more than 20 different uses for the avid hunter, it’ll easily earn a spot in your hunting kit too.
Thanks for purchasing a JAKK Pad!
