difference between eva and hypalon

Okay this may be a stupid question, but when I look at pictures of hypalon and eva, they look the same. What's the difference? Is one easier to work with? Is one more durable?

Order a small grip of each and take a look - it will tell more than anything you can read or imagine, or learn from pictures. Its cheap learning.

Eva chips, and dents easily. It tends to hold a depression from a finger nail for a few moments. Sustained pressure (ie. rod holders) can permanently deform it.

Hypalon is a tough rubbery material, heavier in weight than eva. It will not hold a dent from a fingernail, and much harder to tear than eva. This is my choice for trolling rods, standup rods, and other heavy stuff.

Another difference from hypolon is that it feels softer when sqeezed than eva grips
