Vehicle-specific aluminum roof platform for overlanding builds
Last reviewed: April 2026

Why this product
Sherpa's Little Bear is a compact 18 lb aluminum rack with vehicle-specific fitment — designed for smaller SUVs and crossovers that can't handle full-size expedition racks. Direct-mount keeps the profile low. The downside? Sherpa is a smaller brand with limited dealer support, and the compact size means less accessory mounting space than full-size platforms.
