The Dakine Halfside Tailgate Pad takes the simplicity and ease of a tailgate one step further in a 2 bike pad that is half the size of a normal pad and fits any ute or pickup. It features all the same padding, tie-down features and security grommet as the full-size pads while leaving your tailgate handle and backup cameras clear for use.

Who's this item for: Owners of a ute or pickup that only need to carry a couple of bikes and don't want to take up their whole tailgate with a pad.

How many bikes does it carry: This one carries 2 bikes and is half the physical size of a normal pad.

Tailgate handle cutout: Nope, it doesn't need one as it'll sit off to the side leaving the tailgate handle and reversing cameras free and unobstructed.

How much does it weigh / dimensions: The weight isn't listed by Dakine but the pad is 74cm (29" wide).

Materials: 1000D Recycled Polyester with UV/weather-resistant coating

Any Special Features: Cable lock compatible, two webbing cinch straps to secure 2 bikes. Reflective logo.

Pros: Works great on any size tailgate and has all the same great features as a full-sized pad.

Cons: It only carries 2 bikes so you'll need to get creative if you pick up a couple more friends for some shuttles.
