Claim:
An article comprising a body shaped suit for diving, said article comprising a gelatinous elastomer composition, G, in contact with or without one or more of a selected substrate material, M, said gelatinous elastomer composition comprising: (i) 100 parts by weight of one or a mixture of two or more of a hydrogenated styrene isoprene/butadiene block copolymner(s) and from (ii) about 300 to about 1,600 parts by weight of a plasticizing oil; and in combination with or without (iii) a selected amount of one or more polymers or copolymers of poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene), poly(styrene-butadiene) n , poly(styrene-isoprene-styrene) n , poly(styrene-isoprene) n , poly(styrene-ethylene-propylene) n , poly(styrene-ethylene-propylene-styrene), poly(styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene), poly(styrene-ethylene-butylene) n , poly(styrene-ethylene-propylene) n , poly(styrene-ethylene-butylene) n , polystyrene, polybutylene, poly(ethylene-propylene), poly(ethylene-butylene), polypropylene, or polyethylene, wherein said selected copolymer is a linear, radial, star-shaped, branched or multiarm copolymer, wherein n is greater than one; and wherein said article formed from G n , the combination G n G n , G n M n , G n M n M n G n , G n G n M n M n , G n M n G n M n M n , G n M n G n , M n G n M n , G n G n M n , M n M n M n G n , M n M n M n G n M n , M n G n G n M n , G n M n G n G n , G n M n M n G n , G n G n M n M n , G n G n M n G n M n , G n M n G n M n M n , M n G n M n G n M n G n , G n G n M n M n G n , G n G n M n G n M n G n , a sequential addition or a permutation of one or more of said G n with or without one or more M n ; wherein when n is a subscript of M, n is the same or different selected from the group consisting of foam, plastic, fabric, metal, ceramics, synthetic resin, synthetic fibers or refractory materials; and wherein when n is a subscript of G, n denotes the same or a different gel rigidity; said article made by injection molding, extruding, spinning, casting, or dipping of said gelatinous elastomer composition.
