The material is soft and rubbery, very comfortable for the child, but also great in rainy Seattle weather as it repels water better than fabric does. Guess what? The instructions that come with these dont allow for pairing with both a cell phone and a transmitter. Other than that, I like the waist trainer and look forward to losing my mid section. Took them on a trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls where we walked everywhere and wore them almost everyday. This rack is of very good qaulity for the price I paid. enough to see if they are as durable as other Crocs. So if you are considering buying Havaianas please go to their official Website and dont buy them here on Amazon. This is a great 24 dollar headset. Quality seems good, especially for the price. Paying as much as I did for them I expected better.
