It is worth noting that the structure of the material is approximately many microscopic air bubbles, which makes it more flexible, lightweight, and at the same time distinguishes it with high buoyancy properties. The key is that, unlike, for example, latex, neoprene does not irritate the skin and is pleasant to the touch.
