Default roll bar padding: FIA vs SFI

Pegasus sells FIA high density padding and SFI high density padding. Anyone know the difference?

Legal Padding is SFI 45.1 or FIA 8857-2001 Type A. Both specs are nearly the same for impact and flame resistance and non-melting in a fire. BSCI makes both specs. It does not matter which unless your sanctioning body specs out one type over the other. But you definitely want either spec and not home depot pipe wrap. Put the padding minimum 1 ft away from any tube your head could hit. I even put it where my body parts can hit. Most rule books are vague on how much to pad.
