DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Targeted Warmth and Comfort
This wetsuit has a 4/3 mm thickness and Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining on the torso and thighs to keep you warm where it counts. On the back, the Plasma_Plush fleece reduces wind chill and dries quickly between sessions for greater comfort.
Freedom of Movement
ION uses a minimal seam and panel design in the shoulder area to increase flexibility. Silk_Stuff on the chest, shoulders, and arms improves stretch, making it easier to move during surf or kitesurf maneuvers.
Sealing and Practicality
The front zip makes the wetsuit easy to get into and reduces water entry at the chest, keeping you consistently warmer. A replaceable drawcord lets you adjust the front closure panel with one hand.
Built to Last
High-stress areas are reinforced with Maki_Tape 2.0 and glued blind seams. Knee and crotch reinforcements make the wetsuit last longer. Practical details like a key pocket, drain holes, and detachable leg straps round out the features.
Performance and Feel on the Water
Designed for cool water, the Amaze Core 4/3 offers a great balance of insulation and flexibility. You'll feel consistent warmth across your torso and have enough mobility to execute turns, power up, and land jumps in any discipline.
Why Choose This Model
The Amaze Core 4/3 Front Zip 2023 is perfect for riders who want to stay warm without sacrificing freedom of movement. Its design and reinforcements make this wetsuit ideal for regular use in surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, or wingfoiling.
