The Ripcurl Stratosphere is one of Ripcurls CODE STL Boardshorts which is the worlds first ever stitchless shorts
Ripcurl came up with CODE STL as they sponsor lots of top surfers and found that the most common complaint about boardshorts was that the stitched seams were irritating and uncormfortable
The fabric is laser cut, the seams are electro- welded which means great comfort eliminating any irritation or friction from sewn seams, they are the best fitting because they are assembled into a mould which allows the fabric to move and fit to your body with perfection.
Ripcurl are so confident about the durability of CODE STL boardshorts that they are offering a lifetime guarantee on the seams.
