Some of them are neoprene, some of them are made out of plastic, some are steel covered with a thin layer of rubber.

the cheap 15cent ones are made from open-cell plasticised rubber polymer. they will not act as good insulation. a good test is to breath through them; if you feel your breath, they will be no good for insulation.

I use them all the time to insulate my tecs. I get the $3 or so ones and put a towel over them and then Iron them to soften them up enough to pull the clothe covering off. I do not use any that are covered in a material other than clothe. 226w tecs, 157 x 2 tecs, 110w , etc and have never had any condensation to speak of. This is with max cold temps of -16c or so.
