It's actually roto molded plastic. Made from the same stuff kayaks are made from.

If it is not your thing, than don't buy it, but snorkels do have a purpose. It is a raised air intake to get cooler cleaner air. Same thing bulldozers and backhoes have to provide a longer service life for the air filters since they operate in dusty and dirty environments. The same thing you encounter when offroad.

I will admit I find a lot of AEVs stuff to be overpriced, but their quality and engineering has always been top notch. They half ass their Jeep suspension setups and price them like real overhauls.

The one thing I won’t admit is that in recent years manufacturers have made up a new idea that snorkels help with dust. The original military jeeps had a snorkel kit available (intake and exhaust) for water fording. Even safari snorkel (now owned by ARB) was purely for water for years.
