    Where can I see a topper? I'm on the central coast....think Pismo Dunes. Which direction and how far do I have to go with my long bed Taco?

    I'm not sure about structure but it aparently uses the same "drop stitch" technology that newer high performance whitewater rafts and whitewater paddleboards use. Once those paddleboards are pumped up to recommended psi (usually around 15) they are super rigid. I know its not going to be the same as stapping a paddleboard on racks and going down the highway due airflow and structure but I'm curious as to how the air topper would do. I didn't find much info on the website about using on the road but I just skimmed over it. my paddleboards don't flap or flutter at all.

    I know this is different but I'd like to see it in action going 70mph

    Address what? I like the product but not for me. All I was saying is that apparently they are using the same new drop sticth technology which is great.. I breezed through the video but didn't see it in action. As in going down the highway, maybe I missed it. If I did let me know. I'm actually excited about the air topper, hope they do well

    So far, 2 kids' booster seats and 1 infant seat all on the rear seat. Right now, running stock. Planning to take my time with the modding to see what I really need.
    So has anyone tried this yet?

    Bump.

    Just saw this on Shark Tank and my interest was piqued. Just wondering if any Taco Bros tried this out yet? A bit pricey when you can get a soft topper for less... But the portability of this thing is a pretty impressive. Looks kinda cool too.

    At least the newer versions are getting slightly better looking than the original but they need to tone down all the logos everywhere, it's over the top.

    I just ordered mine today, hopefully I can clean off some of the branding, it is a bit too much for my taste

    I pulled the trigger and got the topper, I wasn't thrilled with the straps holding it on, I didn't feel like I could get enough tension on them, but they did well driving around yesterday in 40-50 MPH winds headwinds and crosswinds at faster than the posted speed limit. The wind gusts were a lot higher.
    Although I did stop and get a couple turnbuckles for the rear attachment points, I have bed stiffeners and the straps were rubbing against the top of them. I'm getting turnbuckles for the front as well, I do intend to invert the turnbuckles and carabiners on the back
