CURTIS REEDI haven't found any of the SFI spec to be easy to form to the roll cage and I have tried 3 different brands. If you do find some let us know on here.

I use the Allstar brand SFI padding. Take a heat gun and work it slowly into the bend.

Big SteveI have found JAZ roll bar padding to be fairly easy to form and also has a velcro strip in it so you can remove it. With any brand take a heat gun a warm it up a little helps allot

AlaskaracerAny sfi padding is going to be tough to bend...as mentioned a heat gun does wonders. I was able to do mine during the summer time and I just set it out in the sun for a while....bent easily without breaking

Curly1None, there is none I know of that conform well that are SFI approved and I have tried 4 brands. Worst was the Allstar and best I have found was Longacre. Heating them was a little help but still they crack and break.
The SFI stuff is very hard (Brittle) and I would think it should be softer to absorb shock better.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
