    Dropstitch, also called “Double Wall Fabric”, is a 3D construction process by which thousands of yarns are simultaneously woven together to join both a top and bottom layer of fabric.

    The continuous and evenly spaced yarns between the fabric lock the pieces together, creating an incredibly strong unit that allows for an inflated bladder that maintains both dimensional stability and uniformity
