The fabric that Specialty Marine uses is a good imitation, but it is NOT the same. It is much softer and more pliable and VERY easily damaged.

Last summer I ordered an RPS cushion from Specialty Marine and when it arrived I was very disappointed. There were blemishes from where the seaming machine for the fabric appears to have funky rollers that left marks

The cooler cushion I ordered had tears in it within a week of being installed because the fabric was so soft.

But the most outrageous fault with the Specialty Marine RPS cushion is that they do not install the Tee nuts in the seat bottom so the only way to attach it to the Z-legs is to use sheet metal screws drilled and driven into the plywood base, and in the long run, they will tear out.
