Default Aftermarket roll bar padding

I'm having a synergy DIY age welded in this coming week and need an idea or thoughts on adding aftermarket padding on vulnerable areas of the cage.

I don't want myself or any passengers risking a head injury with the bare metal. I know it won't prevent an entire injury but it sure would be better to hit your head on padded surface than full on tubing.

Anyone running anything it can steal an idea off?

There are a 100 places that sell "roll bar padding"

I think the bigger issue is making it look good. I imagine it would be fairly expensive to have an upholstery shop sew up something professional looking as covers, as it seems pretty detailed custom work to get all the bends and openings.

For sure. I wouldn't be interested in the bar wrap similar to the factory zipper stuff though. Just looking to pad the areas close to people's heads.

Perfect that's what I'm thinking of.
