🏅 Coach Cappos Recommends

"The extra height of the G series matters as your vaulters get bigger and faster. The G1 is a good fit for a high school with serious vaulters or a smaller college that needs an NCAA legal pit in a tighter space."

Coach Scott Cappos Big Ten Coach for 25 Years University of Iowa University of Nebraska

Top Pad Construction

• Edge-to-edge top pad: Covers the full surface so spikes never hit the base units and there is no uneven lip at the edges. Longer pit life and safer landings near the sides.
• Tufmesh Plus casing: 17 x 11, 1000 denier mesh that stands up to daily spike traffic.
• 2" Duralife foam: Soft, durable landing surface.
• V-Loop vinyl straps: Spread the landing force evenly so seams are not torn apart over time.
• Reversible: Flip the top pad to extend its life.
• Side carabiner connection: The top pad clips to the base on the sides, so there are no buckles or straps on the landing surface.

Vinyl Base Units

• All vinyl base: Keeps water out of the foam far better than old mesh top bases.
• Interchangeable, reversible sections: Rotate units to spread wear and add years to the pit.
• Quadruple layer Duralife foam: 25% softer than competing pits while keeping the firmness a safe landing needs.
• Dual coated vinyl: 1000 x 1000 denier polyester bonded on both sides with 18 oz knife-coated PVC. Resists delamination and weighs less than other casings.
• Triple stitched: 210 bonded polyester thread built for high volume practice.
• Optimal pit entry angle: Designed around an ASTM approved vault box collar so the front slant stays vaulter friendly.
• Grip Strip fastening: Keeps the base sections working as one unit season after season.
• Compress-Pack shipping: Ships compressed to cut freight volume and cost, then restores to full size after unpacking.
