Edelbrock lists the following description on their web site. They call
it a 'poly synthetic media', and state that it isn't cotton. It's also
the dry filter type that does not need to be oiled. (I have a similar
dry-filter on my SRT Magnum and it keeps the throttle body and intake
spotless.)

I'll try and post a video review of what it looks like when it comes in.
Sorry I won't be able to do a long-term test yet. My coach's oil is 10
years old at present. (Working on that).

PRO-FLO(r) REPLACEMENT AIR FILTERS

Edelbrock Pro-Flo Replacement Air Filters are designed to deliver the
right balance of filtration with limited restriction. They feature a
synthetic media that delivers the right balance of clean air with the
least amount of restriction. They are made from a washable and reusable
dry design that does not require oiling after cleaning. This combination
makes them easier to use and maintain compared to cotton gauze air
filters that depend on the right amount oil for proper filtration,
without over oiling and fouling the MAF sensor.

Edelbrock Replacement Air Filters are constructed from a poly synthetic
media that delivers improved filtration and performance over paper air
filters. The high quality steel wire mesh protects the filter media
while providing strength to ensure the filter keeps its shape. They also
feature a precision molded rubber edge that provides strength as well as
making a perfect fit, with a tight seal, on OEM air filter boxes.

Modern vehicles require modern technology like the Edelbrock Pro-Flo air
filter. Disposable paper air filters have been in use for over 100 years
and cotton gauze air filters for over 45 years. An air filter is the
easiest upgrade, it only takes seconds, and will improve your engines
performance. When you factor maintenance costs of cotton gauze air
filters and the frequency of replacement with paper air filters... an
Edelbrock Pro-Flo filter is the most economical and easy to maintain
solution for your engine.

Features Include:
High flow poly synthetic media for improved performance over paper media
designs
Features a "dry" media - No need to re-oil after washing, reducing the
potential for over oiling and damaging the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor
Reduced cost of ownership and easier to maintain when compared to cotton
gauzes designs... no need for oil
Direct fit replacement in OEM air boxes
100% washable and reusable synthetic media for a quicker drying time -
Simply clean with soap and water
Designed to last over 6-times longer then low cost disposable paper
filters
Round, panel and conical designs available for many popular car, truck
and SUV applications
