GLUED & BLIND SEAMS (GBS)
All of our fullsuits are made with this finishing which is warrant of a best watertightness.
Neoprene panels are glued together, then the seams are blind stitched together with a nylon thread. The needle does not penetratethe neoprene completely. This is the best sewing technique to prevent water entering the wetsuit.

This lining inside the wetsuits adds an extra layer of insulation. It also dries quicker and offers a comfortable, soft, warm and dry feeling when wearing the wetsuit.
All our fullsuits are made with a quick dry lining.
Depending on the wetsuit, the lining is either located from chest to knees or to ankles.
In order to optimize warmth and weight distribution, we use different linings on our wetsuits, according to their patterns and designs.
