You really only need to pad where arms, legs/knees, head and shoulders would
contact the bar.
I use the SFI rated 1/2 round with adhesive backing. It's clean looking and low
profile because of the density.
On the subject of padding, most people overlook the foot wells. If you ever
roll or cartwheel a car your legs & knees will find every single sharp or hard
edge in the footwell. You can do permanent damage to a knee(s)
with a single ungaurded edge or corner. I won't go into how I know that.

Subject: [Fot] Roll Cage padding
Quick question...
I'm going to run my racer as an occasional track day and autox car
from time to time with a 2nd seat.
Should I just pad the whole cage?
I figure its a good idea to 1 protect a potential passenger and 2nd I
keep smacking my own head by accident when ducking in through the
passenger side.
