I pulled this information directly from the RaceFace website
My Impression
This is a semi-hard plastic that will do the job it is intended for.
Although, these crank boots did not fit my cranks from this order, I did purchase a pair from another vendor that sold the correct size (small) for my cranks. However, they are all made from the same material, so I am giving five stars for quality of product.
I installed the Alloy Crank Boots (size small) on my Stumpjumper which has Aeffect cranks. They fit good. The only thing I noticed is that the hole were you put your Allen key is a little off, but the boot cover is playable enough that I was able to install it with no problem.
