Best for strong crossbar base for softshells.
Load Rating Plate · RigFitment
Key facts
- A strong two-bar base at half the cost of a full platform — the pragmatic softshell mount
- Light crossbars (~15–20 lbs) leave more of your roof rating for the tent itself
- Check the bar spread your tent maker requires before committing to fixed mounting points
Fitment: the rack IS the rating
A rack purchase sets the ceiling for everything above it. Two numbers matter: the rack’s dynamic rating (what it may carry while driving — the figure you enter in our load checker) and its static capacity (parked; commonly cited as ~3× the dynamic figure for quality racks, but verify the published number with the maker). Remember the rack’s own weight — 18 lbs (crossbar pair (~15–20 lbs)) here — counts against your vehicle’s roof-load figure before any tent goes on.
Who it’s for
Strong crossbar base for softshells. At $600 typical street price and 18 lbs (crossbar pair (~15–20 lbs)), it earns RigScore 80 on our documented weights — weight honesty included. Cross-shop the rivals on the right before committing.
