KEY INFORMATION
ION SEEK AMP 6/5 BACK ZIP MEN 2027 - 6/5 mm cold-water fullsuit
What we like
- Graphene_Plush 2.0 on the back panel: This season's innovation for the Amp series is a lightweight, heat-conducting, and recycled lining. It works in conjunction with Hot_Stuff 2.0, which covers the rest of the body.
- Hot_Stuff 2.0 throughout the body: This is ION's most flexible, quick-drying thermal lining, made from recycled materials.
- Recycled Max_Flex: On the chest, shoulders, and neck, the Max_Flex outer lining provides 30% more flexibility, according to ION. This is precisely where you need movement for paddling and pumping.
- I_Foam Neoprene: ION chose this low-density foam, infused with oyster shell powder, for its insulation.
- Glued and taped seams: These are blind-stitched, with flexible tape on the entire interior. You'll find reinforced stress points and fused edges at the arms and legs.
- Water_Gate back zip: An internal neoprene panel behind the zip minimizes water entry and creates a chafe-free zone on your back.
- Quick-entry back zip: The back zip design requires less flexibility than a front zip, keeps your chest free, and closes easily with the cord.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What's new with the Seek Amp 2027
ION offers three distinct Seek wetsuit series: Select for maximum warmth, Amp for superior elasticity, and Core as a versatile all-rounder. The ION Seek Amp 6/5 Back Zip is the 6/5 back zip version within the Amp series, with ION skipping directly from the 2025 to the 2027 collection. The major upgrade is in the lining: the lightweight, heat-conducting, and recycled Graphene_Plush 2.0 now covers the back panel. This complements the Hot_Stuff 2.0, which lines the rest of the body. ION confirms both materials are made from recycled content.
Elasticity: Max_Flex, Eco_Stretch, I_Foam
The recycled Max_Flex outer lining covers the chest and shoulders. It also covers the neck. ION states it delivers 30% more flexibility and quick-drying properties. The rest of the wetsuit features Eco_Stretch, a fabric made from recycled nylon waste. Beneath these linings, the low-density I_Foam neoprene contains oyster shell powder, a filler ION uses for insulation. The shoulders are without a seam, and the reduced number of panels is immediately noticeable with your first arm movement.
Back zip, Water_Gate, and seams
The back zip offers the easiest entry and exit, leaving your chest free of seams or pressure. To minimize water entry, ION places an internal neoprene panel, the Water_Gate, behind the zip. This also creates a chafe-free zone on your back. The seams are glued and blind-stitched, then taped with a flexible band on the entire inner surface, with reinforced stress points. Arm and leg cuffs are fused. You'll find thin padding on the shins, reinforced drainage holes, and separate leg straps.
For what conditions
ION rates the Seek Amp 6/5 Back Zip for icy conditions. It is the thickest option in the 2027 Amp line. This is the fullsuit you'll want for January sessions in the English Channel or North Sea, or if you find a 5/4 too cold during the peak Atlantic winter. Its construction mirrors that of the 5/4 Back Zip, but with an extra millimeter of thickness throughout. The Hot_Stuff 2.0 and Max_Flex linings ensure it retains its elasticity. It's available in a single Black color and ten sizes: the six standard sizes from 46/XS to 56/XXL, plus four short cuts from 25/MS to 28/XXLS.

FAQ - ION SEEK AMP 6/5 BACK ZIP MEN 2027
This is for riders in icy waters, in the English Channel or North Sea in the dead of winter. It is also for those who get cold in a 5/4 on the Atlantic coast in January. For a typical Atlantic winter, the Seek Amp 5/4 back zip is lighter. It also comes in long cuts.
The back zip is easier to put on and take off. It leaves the chest free and does not require shoulder flexibility. The front zip lets in less water and frees the back for paddling. ION offers the Seek Amp 6/5 in both versions. The back zip is recommended for those who change quickly in the parking lot and do not like to pass their head through a narrow opening.
The ION size guide higher on the page provides height and weight for each size, along with chest circumference. Short cuts 25/MS to 28/XXLS have a wide torso and shorter legs. The ION model in the photos is 1.76 m tall and wears size 50/M. A wetsuit should fit snugly when dry, with no air pockets. If you are between two sizes, call us.
Rinse it with fresh water after each session, inside out. Let it dry in the shade on a wide hanger. Never dry it in the sun or on a radiator. Never fold it wet in a bag. Close the zip before hanging it to avoid deforming the back.
We are a Kite and Wing shop in Pornichet, on the Atlantic coast. We also sell Surf gear. We ride all year in water that drops below ten degrees in February. We wear ION wetsuits before we sell them. If you have a doubt about the size or hesitate between two thickness options, call us or visit the shop.
