The Permobil Corpus seating system is greatly improved over the previous versions. More customizable, more comfortable, greatly improved overall and it is available in a light gray material on the seat, back and arms! Received my C500 last winter and now that summer and heat are here I love it even more. The lighter color has made all the difference. No more burnt arms when setting them down on a black armrest. Permobil has made a lot of improvements in their in line-up of chairs. Nice to see a company still coming up with new ideas and using innovation.

Light grey is best I think. Like you say black can burn you in summer heat especially when you are numb and don't relize you are being burned. White would be best but it would be impossible to keep looking clean. Somebody should come up with coverlets in white to fit most models. They would be removeable and washable in the washer. Maybe a good idea for someone wanting to design a product and sell it.
