Xcel Womens Axis-X S-Seal 3/2mm Chest Zip Steamer is very similar to the base-model with the inclusion of an elastic tape that is laid onto the inside of the GBS seams to prolong the seal. Over time, the glue that lines a non-taped GBS seam will harden and crack, at which point the seam will being to leak. Tape provides a physical barrier so that even once the glue loses integrity the seal will remain.

Aside from the environmental consideration, it is suggested that using limestone derived acetylene creates a smaller cell structure which in turn creates more warmth, stretch and takes on less water, so better in every regard, but you can learn more about this here.
