DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The water tank top
ION has taken the classic basketball jersey cut and transformed it into a water top. It covers your torso, leaves your shoulders free, and dries quickly.
Material
This top features 100% recycled polyester mesh, certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), according to ION. It offers UV protection from UPF 35 to 50+, depending on the colorway.
On the Water
Wear it under your harness for kiteboarding or winging; the Slip_Loop keeps it securely attached to your boardshort during falls.

Available in sizes 48/S to 56/XXL. Check the ION size guide further up the page for your perfect fit.

FAQ - ION MEN'S BASKETBALL WETSHIRT
No, this is a tank top, so your shoulders and arms remain uncovered. For complete protection, choose a wetshirt or lycra with sleeves.
Yes, the mesh is thick enough to prevent harness chafing on your torso.
The guide above provides ION measurements. The wetshirt has a looser fit than a lycra. Take your usual t-shirt size. If you are between two sizes, call us.
Rinse it with fresh water after your session and let it dry in the shade, flat or on a hanger. No tumble dryer, no radiator.
