I just looked at the one I purchased and the tag says inner/outer 100% polyester foam: rubber. I hope this helps.

I'm not 100% certain, but it is a knitted material.....and doesn't appear to be neoprene. If you're asking because you're allergic.....I would contact the company directly. If you're asking to see if it's breathable....yes it is. I bought two for my husband and he uses them at work every day. I ordered as per the sizing chart and, yes, they are really tight to start out....but that's what you need for the support. They do eventually stretch out, but work great.

This is 100% polyester blend, high performance fabric. I can have SoFAB mail you a sample if you like, just let me know.

I wrote to the manufacturer and the response was, "This is not labeled for use on clothing." My question to them was, "Are there petroleum products in this formula?" There was no response to this specific question, so I presume that there ARE petroleum products included in this formula.

No leather, it's all synthetic stuff. The leathery-looking ends of the neoprene are actually rubber (or smell like rubber).

Brian I know nothing about the neoprene one. I would expect that it may be the same. I had asked around about kids life jackets / beginning to swim type and was told about the Speedo one. I am very please with this one and had no problems with my grandson wearing it. He had a different one that was bulky, like the life jackets you see on boats and hated wearing it as it rubbed him under his arms and on the side of his face as it rode up on him. Got him this one and absolutely NO COMPLAINTS about wearing it. I got the 30-50 lbs one and he is six years old. He is small for his age, but anything bigger would not have worked it would have had to be returned as it would have defeated the purpose because it would have been too big. He is still wearing it this year. Hope this helps.

There is no indication that they contain neoprene, hence no health warning. Since there is no stretching involved, there is no reason that neoprene would be used.

I would contact the company and ask. I'm guessing they are neoprene but that doesn't necessarily mean they are latex free. Contact the company to be sure.

Since I returned it, I can't look to tell you. But it is 100% polyester. And that's why I returned it.

The tag says 100% Polyester but that's sort of deceiving since lots of things are made of that but are not as nice as these throws. I own 3 of these now. I own several other fleece type throws that I purchased elsewhere but these throws are the best quality I've ever owned. A very high quality fleece.

its all elastic, its sorta snug, you should also look into Pro-Tec Athletics Gel Force Knee Sleeve non neoprene, ive been meaning to get my hands on a couple of those. I have even seen some cage fighters use those, so to me it says a lot.

I no longer have the packaging to be able to tell you the exact name of the material, but it is indeed at neoprene-like, if not actual neoprene.

They are a mixture: the padding on the front (the palm side) is a real leather and very supple so it doesn't bind. The back is made of a stretch material that is thinner and more comfortable than neoprene, but sturdier than what you might think of as bathing suit lycra. Granted, I'm not loading my personal pair up with 100 pound weights, but I've had mine for a long time and they have held up really well, especially for the price.

it is not that thick. Neoprene is generally measured in millimeters so approx. 3.175 mm or just 3 mm.. Good luck..

Hi BirdzFan, This company doesn't accept returns for any reason, even if the package is unopened (for health and sanitary reasons)....not to say they don't compensate for damage or defect or something like that, they just won't accept a returned product. So I'm certain what you're smelling is off-gassing from the various plastics. They should dissipate soon. We've purchased two so far and couldn't be happier.Hopes this helps!Kate

No, this low density neoprene is best used as an intermediate where it is fixed with nothing abrading it. There is neoprene with about double the density better suited for what you want.

Good grief Naturepedic's answer was annoying, not to mention cagey. All that lead-up made me feel like it was going to be something much worse between the cotton layers than it actually is. Why can't the company just say, "food grade polyurethane?"
