SEAM TECHNOLOGY

Seams are the core structure of a wetsuit. They determine the strength, flexibility and watertightness of its construction, so it’s an important factor when selecting the right suit for you.

GBS

Triple glued & single-blind stitched seams are darned to partially penetrate the neoprene to reduce water entry.
