As a fabric that is waterproof, Neoprene insulates against wet and cold environments and is the main material from which wetsuits are made. 'Neoprene' is a brand name of polychloroprene, which is used as a substitute for rubber, and was invented by DuPont scientists back in 1930.
Realising the potential of Neoprene, which initially lacked elasticity, after further development to make it stretchy it quickly became a go-to fabric for a number of industries. With properties that include protection from ingress of air, dust, chemicals and UV rays, and being waterproof, most people will be well aware of Neoprene's use for making wetsuits. You may have also come across it being made into laptop sleeves, footwear and lunch bags. However, in recent years Neoprene has started to become used more in the fashion industry, and now, recognising it's unique qualities those in the know are snapping up their poolside/gym/beach/sports tote bags in Neoprene fabric.
