Confor energy absorbing foam is the best available for protecting your spine during heavy landings or accidents.
There are two densities of foam available:
- CF45AC - this is a blue medium density foam, which is softer and provides more comfort.
- CF47AC - this is green firm density foam, this provides the best energy absorption protection.
- Dynafoam - a softer foam - best for providing comfort with some energy absorption
See specifications tab for research and publications on the use of energy absorbing foam in gliders.
Due to the cost of this foam, we recommend protecting it with a protective case to maximise its life. See our protective case here.
