A soft but tough self-supporting elastomeric film having a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) in the range from about -20.degree. C. to about -60.degree. C., raw tensile strength of at least 300 psi, along with an elongation of at least 350% and less than 20% hysteresis loss, exhibits 'snap', a characteristic of a natural rubber band. The novel film is derived from a crosslinked carboxylate latex containing from 1-20 phr of itaconic acid (IA) and at least 70 phr of one or more copolymerizable monomers one of which is an acrylate having the structure ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is hydrogen or methyl;
