DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A protective neo top
ION presents the ION Neo Zip Top 2/1 Protection for men as a light and discreet protection, as stylish as a neoprene jacket. It's made for foil or wing sessions where it's too warm to wear a fullsuit, worn over boardshorts or neoprene bottoms.
The anti-abrasion panels
The elbows receive panels in abrasion-resistant materials. When getting on the board or in case of a fall, they protect against wear and impacts without limiting the freedom of movement, and prolong the life of the top.
Finishes
The front zip opens the entire front. The seams are Flat_Lock. The Slip_Loop connects the top to the bottom so it does not ride up, the Sunglasses_Loop at the neckline accommodates the safety line of sunglasses. Composition given by ION: 80% neoprene, 20% polyamide.
Sizes
Choose from six sizes, from 46/XS to 56/XXL, using the ION Tops chart above. The top should be worn close to the body.

FAQ - ION NEO ZIP TOP 2/1 PROTECTION MEN
Wingfoil and foil, when it is too warm for a full suit. This is the intended use ION gives it. The reinforced elbows absorb impacts from climbing onto the board and falls.
The Protection model adds anti-abrasion panels on the elbows and a Sunglasses_Loop. Both are 2/1 mm long-sleeve zip tops, with Slip_Loop and Flat_Lock seams.
The size guide above includes ION's Tops chart: chest circumference, waist circumference, and arm length. A neo top should be worn close to the body, without air pockets. Otherwise, it will not retain heat. If you are between two sizes, come and try it on at the store.
Rinse it with fresh water after each session. Turn it inside out, and let it dry flat in the shade or on a wide hanger. Never dry it in the sun or on a radiator, and never roll it up wet in a bag.
We are a kite and wing shop in Pornichet, on the Atlantic coast. We also sell surf gear. We ride all year round. We wear ION neoprene before we sell it. If you have a doubt about the size or are hesitating between two models, call us or visit the shop.
