Considering redoing the cushion in the glider; can't decide on green/blue or blue/pink.
Flying in Eastern Washington for most of the season (temperature wise).

Any hands-on data points would be appreciated.

I've used blue over green for more than 20 years, with a zipper-equipped cover. Dale Thompson introduced me to this when I was having bad back pain flying XC -- the foam feels hard at first, then simply melts away. No ache, no pain.

I've used Jim and Janice Fix -- http://seatfoam.com/products.htm -- for custom sizes -- for my patients with wheelchairs, deformities, and those having to linger for hours in a dialysis unit.

For us longer-body types, I suspect that a single thickness of blue or green foam between the parachute and our body may be all that's possible. When I fly in an empty sky, I use the 2-thickness pad and leave the chute at home.
