Wing Inflatable Foam Hybrid Collars combine the toughness and durability of a polyurethane sheath and the pneumatic shock absorption of an air bladder.

A 100% coated polyurethane sheath with a denier rating of over 4,000 yields four times the abrasion resistance, and two and a half times the tear resistance, of Hypalon and neoprene fabrics.

The Polyurethane sheath is of thermo-welded construction with all seams fully taped both inside and outside.

The Foam structure is Dow 2.2 ethafoam which is dense, closed cell, resilient and shock absorbing.
