Asprey preferred closed-cell neoprene partly because it became inert after initial curing. The article says natural latex must be high-density and not vacuum-compressed to meet a comparable off-gassing standard. Essentia's Kevlar-coated construction is cited as a distinguishing material feature related to performance and off-gassing concerns. Foam and latex off-gassing is a concern for chemically sensitive people.
