you can save alot of money by finding your local heating and air distributor. The place where the heat /air contractors go to get material and supplys. They sell this stuff as pipe insulators, comes in 1/2 up to 6"dia. Tell them you want the close cell stuff. Exact same stuff and sells for Pennys on the dollar compared to the advertised "rollbar padding." 10 sectons @ 4'x1,1/4 inner dia sets me back about 8 bucks.
The only problem with any of this type of stuff is it isn't limb proof. running through woods will snag and tear it. I wrap it with black electrical tape to give an outer shell which affords protection against tears and snags. but at the price it's cheap enough to replace on occasion.
