neoprene
Synthetic diving material
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber resistant to oil, heat, and weathering.
It's used in wetsuits, laptop sleeves, gaskets, and industrial hoses—anywhere flexibility and durability matter.
The material has a distinctive smooth, slightly stretchy feel: a neoprene knee brace, neoprene gloves for diving.
