TPU bubbles: transparent, durable, cold-resistant
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is the premium material for bubble football suits. It is colour-neutral and transparent, practically odour-free out of the box and stays flexible across roughly 0–40 °C, so it suits year-round outdoor play. It is also lighter: a 1.5 m TPU suit weighs roughly 9–11 kg, compared with 11–13 kg for PVC.
In our wear tests across commercial hire fleets, TPU lasted on average 40% longer than PVC of equivalent thickness. That makes it the usual choice for hire businesses, schools and anyone who plays often or in cooler weather. TPU is also chlorine-free and recyclable, which helps organisations with green procurement rules.
