Terminology

 

 


So what do all the terms mean?

G.B.S. (Glued and Blindstitched)

Butt joined seams, fully glued to eliminate water entry
Blindstitched: seams are sewn, but needles don't go
completely through the neoprene, maintaining the
integrity of the sealed seams

 

Liquid Seals

Applied over the internal glued and blindstitched seams,
seams are completely sealed with liquid seals, while
full stretch ability remains constant

 

Bat Wing

Zip seal gusset, eliminates water entry through zip

 

Super Stretch

Super Stretch Neoprene, the latest neoprene technology,
incorporating extreme stretch, fit, comfort and warmth

 

C Mesh

C-Mesh skin, single lined neoprene, used on chest and upper back panels. Single lined
neoprene eliminates wind chill by not holding water on the surface of the material

 

Enduro Kneepads

B.A.B. Supratex, used for panels which require reinforcement, providing
extreme durability whilst maintaining stretch

 

Flatlock

This stitch is predominately used for warm water suits when water elimination is not essential.
Flat seams are achieved using this method. Seam rash no longer a problem, extremely strong,
providing excellent durability

 

Chest Zip

Providing superior water seal, the use of a chest zip also provides extra stretch in the upper back by allowing the back panels to have full stretch, unhindered by a back zip

 

Cell Flex

Used for all action panels in ZEE wetsuits, Cell Flex is the extreme stretch neoprene, designed for maximum comfort and flexibility.
