COMPOSITION:
The sublimation process uses a chemical reaction that enables printing on all synthetic fabrics. The print is created using a digital file on a large inkjet printer. The print and the fabric are then pressed at a high temperature. This process transfers the ink from the paper directly onto the fibre. The heat and pressure transform the ink from a solid state to a gaseous state and it is then this gas that tints and fixes the print to the fabric.
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.
The heat-sealed seams seams are reinforced with hollow fibre inner lining inserts on the chest and back.
This type of stitching offers more warmth and less weight. The reinforcements protect the seams in the most sensitive and stretchy areas during use.
