Hi Rob,

FWIW, I've used 3M Filtrete (‎FAPF-UCTF2PAMZ) for this application on an 11/34.  It seems I tighter weave than the old foam, but is designed for pretty high airflow and seems to work well.

It's about 1/8" thick, slightly compressible, easily cut to size w/ scissors, and adheres well to velcro hook tape.

   cheers,
