Currently sorting out a trip to font and considering buy some inflatable roofbars to put the bouldering mats on.

I've used normal roof bars with bouldering mats before and know about the fuel hit.

Has anyone done this with inflatable roof bars? Would you do it again? What would you do differently?

Thanks

I've used them for surf boards before and we're OK, they move about a little bit.

Why not just get 2 long ratchet straps to directly attach 2 pads onto the roof?  The inflatable roof bar straps go through the car anyway so no difference really!?

What kind of Car do you have?

I've always assumed it'd be much better to have them on a bike rack on the back, a towbar mounted one being the best option. Definitely more aero.
