COMPOSITION:
GBS Seams: This invisible stitch is well-named because the stitches do not go all the way through the neoprene so they can't be seen.
If a wetsuit has hidden stitches, it is also taped to prevent water seeping in. Hidden stitch-bonded seams for water resistance. A wetsuit with hidden stitches is also taped in high tension zones.
