The hybrid 75% EVA + 25% PU padding combines the lightness of EVA with the superior durability of PU, ensuring consistent performance even after hundreds of sessions. The gold details and alternating finishes are not just aesthetic: they immediately identify the quality construction of Leone DNA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance and Durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean the outer shell with a damp cloth and neutral detergent, clean the interior with antibacterial spray. \u003cstrong\u003eDrying:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow to air dry naturally in an upright position, away from direct heat sources that could deform the rigid shell. \u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a dry and ventilated place, avoid pressure that could deform the anatomical curvature.
