In that case, quite a bit. Compare notes on the make up of Ethylene Vinyle Acetate versus Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene.

EVA is harder but not as wear resistant. Hypalon is a lot heavier but spongier.

EVA is a plastic, Hypalon is a rubber.

EVA can be sourced in any number of different firmness or hardness numbers. Hypalon in only one.
