PU, TPU, PVC, genuine leather? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each one

Common materials include genuine leather, PVC, PU, and TPU.
Genuine leather material is the top tier skin material in football training equipment, but its disadvantage is that it is easy to absorb water, causing it to become heavier when used in rainy days, which affects judgment and use. In addition, football made of genuine leather has a higher price and is not very suitable as football training equipment.
PVC is a common synthetic material with outstanding advantages in heat resistance, toughness, and ductility. Football training equipment made of this material is relatively inexpensive, but the disadvantage is that it is prone to deformation, pilling, and cracking in adverse weather conditions. The price of PVC skin football is not high, and the quality is below average, which meets the expectations of most consumers.
PU is a type of artificial leather that is often mistaken by consumers for PVC material. The advantage of football training equipment made of PU material is that the skin is cold resistant, has high elasticity, and is suitable for outdoor use. In addition, in formal training and small to medium-sized competitions, many outdoor football teams use PU skin materials. But the disadvantage of PU materials is that they are not breathable and can easily cause foot covering, such as Messi's F50 series and Ronaldo's Assassin series, which have been complained about.
TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane with high strength and wear resistance, but at a higher price. There are relatively few football training equipment made of TPU material, and I am not very clear about the specific advantages and disadvantages.
In summary, different materials of football have their own advantages and disadvantages, and consumers can weigh their needs and budget when choosing.
