Does anyone know what material they used to make the Dune stillsuits?

Assuming you meant what are the costumes were in the movie
and not the "actual" ones in the book, they were made out
of rubber.  Source: "The Making of Dune".  Apparently,
quite a few extras passed out during filming due to wearing
these silly costumes in the middle of the desert in Mexico.
If they one had *real* ones...
