I bought the same stuff off Amazon a few years ago that George referenced above. It was such a nice change and from a grip, comfort, and cooling standpoint. I will say that the grey layer on top is thin and became unbonded to the black substrate below, eventually falling off completely. This may have been from sun/rain exposure over the two years. The black substrate makes up the bulk of the thickness and is the EVA foam I believe. While it is still comfortable and slip resistant, the aesthetics are not ideal. I rubbed off what grey was left and now the aesthetic is a uniform black. I have considered re-applying with a solid color grey or similar and not the faux weathered teak. I can not justify at this time the Raptor Deck expense, but would say that it is a superior product. I do think this budget material would work great down below and would have many benefits. The only caveat being that dust and grit obviously will seek the low point in the profile and so you will probably need a dustbuster handy in lieu of the standard dust pan. KD
