The Besson felts really are made of felt, but they are impregnated with some kind of elastomer (rubber-like substance). I have had them on my horn for a couple of years, and they have the advantage of not compressing or falling apart when they get wet. They don't last forever, however, and some of my Besson felts are starting to delaminate (they still work fine, but the elastomer appears to be breaking down).
