KEY INFORMATION
ION SEEK CORE 3/2 SHORTY LS FRONT ZIP MEN'S 2023 - 3/2 mm Wetsuit
What we like
- Hot_Stuff 2.0 on the torso and thighs: This highly elastic thermal lining from ION keeps you warm where your body loses the most heat, all without restricting your movement.
- Plasma_Plush on the back: A soft, quick-drying fleece adds warmth and protects you from cold winds.
- Silk_Stuff on the shoulders and arms: This thin, silky lining on the chest, shoulders, and arms provides stretch and prevents the wetsuit from pulling.
- Glued and reinforced seams: You get invisible glued seams, flexible tape at the knees and crotch, and reinforced stress points.
- Seamless shoulders: Fewer panels and no seam on the shoulders mean your freedom of movement comes from the cut itself.
- One-hand front zip: The front closure flap adjusts easily with one hand, thanks to a flexible, replaceable cord.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Seek Core, according to ION
ION sums up the Seek Core with a simple formula: superior performance at an affordable price, plus versatile simplicity. This 2023 ION Seek Core 3/2 Shorty LS Front Zip men's wetsuit is the 3/2 long-sleeve front zip shorty version, now end-of-line at ION. You can find the current version online right next to it.
Warmth and linings
The torso and thighs feature highly elastic Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining, which retains warmth where your body needs it most. On the back, Plasma_Plush fleece dries quickly and protects you from cold winds. The chest, shoulders, and arms get Silk_Stuff, a thin and silky lining for excellent stretch and comfort.
Seams, cut, and details
The seams are glued and blind-stitched, featuring flexible tape at the knees and crotch, and reinforced stress points. Seamless shoulders and a design that minimizes the number of panels enhance comfort. You'll also find reinforced drainage holes at the chest and legs, a key pocket with a loop, a replaceable cord, and separate leg straps.
For what conditions
A long-sleeve shorty is your go-to summer wetsuit: it keeps your arms covered from the wind while leaving your legs free. Available in sizes 46/XS to 56/XXL.

FAQ - ION SEEK CORE 3/2 SHORTY LS FRONT ZIP MEN'S 2023
This wetsuit is for the kiter, wingfoiler, or surfer who wants a simple and robust ION wetsuit. It is also warm, especially if you prefer a front zip. A long-sleeve shorty is the perfect summer wetsuit, keeping your arms covered from the wind while leaving your legs free.
The ION size guide is higher on the page. It provides height and weight for each size, along with chest circumference. A wetsuit should fit snugly when dry, with no air pockets. If you are between sizes, call us.
The range and philosophy are the same: warmth and elasticity, with robustness offered at the best price. The 2023 model is a previous vintage, an end-of-series item from ION. The current model is available online for those who want the latest collection.
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, and never fold it wet in a bag. Close the zip before hanging it, and rinse the pull tab. Sand in a zip is what wears it out.
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 wetsuits before selling them. If you have any doubts about the size or thickness, call us or visit the shop.
