Does anyone remember from PW traffic last Winter/Spring (or do you know
of) a high abrasion resistant material to glue down over the cockpit
foam in some of the high wear foam areas, esp. under heel if I glue down
some 1/4" foam.

I know GRO sells neoprene which can be glued either sticky (raw) side
out or slick (finished) side out, but am not too sure of its durability.

Has anyone tried lycra or lycra faced neoprene?
