Everything you've ever wanted to know about EVA
the amazing material behind Bomber's floating eyewear products
Definition: EVA stands for Ethylene Vinyl Acetate and is the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate.
When formulated into the closed cell foam that Bomber uses, EVA takes on the
following characteristics which are of great advantage for extreme eyewear:
- Energy absorbing - protects your face from sudden shocks
- Weather/moisture resistant - antibacterial, antimold
- Chemical/oil resistant - gripping, non-slipping
- Thermal insulating - keeps your head a steady temp
- Anti-static
- Highly resilient - keeps its form fit to your shape
- Smooth and soft - allows for periods of longer wearing
- High buoyancy - will float even in the roughest waters
- Non-toxic
- Environmentally friendly
This dense and durable foam can be found in many commercial applications, from handle grips to flotation and safety devices, from sporting equipment to childrens toys and furniture. EVA is also typically used as a shock absorber in sports shoes, and the smooth surface cleans easily with an antibacterial cloth.
Bomber's patented process of adding EVA foam to sunglasses and safety eyewear protects you from the dangers of life on the edge. Accept no substitute!
