Aero Rack Pads 44in - XL

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used these 44-inch Aero Pads for years on my SUV’s thicker factory crossbars. They stay put in high winds, and the padding protects my boards during long drives. Plus, the low-profile fit doesn’t whistle like some bulkier options—set it and forget it."

We count on our gear to make it to the coast intact, and the DAKINE Aero Rack Pads 44in XL are built for just that. Whether we’re hauling oversized longboards or loading up for a surf-heavy road trip, these extra-large pads keep our boards cushioned and secure—without disrupting airflow. Designed specifically for wider or thicker crossbars found on many stock roof racks, they offer a sleek, aerodynamic profile that cuts down on drag and noise.

Crafted with UV-resistant 600D polyester, these pads are made to endure sun, salt, and frequent use. A secure hook-and-loop closure system holds them tight even in strong winds, and at 44 inches long, they provide full coverage for wide loads. Sold in a set of two, they’re a dependable upgrade that makes board transport simpler and safer.
