Q1Their foam is now £55, and I'm told it is of better quality. Can anyone verify this from personal experience?
Their words, which I have no reason not to believe, but is the foam £20 better, or just better?
not sure fuel prices have such an impact on it to warrant such a hike

But then I don't know the difference between 'better' and '£20 better' either. What is that you are expecting? A 57% increase in longevity to justify the increase in foam price from £35 to £55? Unlikely to see that from a few people's experiences.
Foam - is made from oil (or one of the products of the petrochemical industry) IIRC...
I guess so. Seems like a lot of things are going the 5.10/Sportiva way these days
