There are lots of options for covering foam, what you use will be more a matter of preference and a tradeoff between different factors than anything.

Some of the options include:

- Ripstop Nylon (RSN) and Water Based Polyurathane (WBP)
- Bi-directional packing tape (bi-di)
- colored packing tape
- Icrex (might have the spelling wrong)
- ultracoke or other low-temp covering.

They all have advantages and disadvantages. RSN and Icrex are going to be the strongest, heatshrink is generally the weakest. RSN can be heavy and a bit messy to apply. Icrex is expensive stuff.
