DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and everyday comfort.
The Hot_Stuff 3.0 lining traps air to increase warmth while remaining flexible, complemented by Silk_Stuff 2.0, which is soft against the skin. You'll quickly feel the comfort during long sessions and in temperate temperatures, without losing mobility.
Freedom of movement
The Sweep_Cut eliminates shoulder seams and, combined with minimized panels, offers excellent range of motion for paddling and maneuvers. You'll appreciate the fluidity of movement, useful in Surf, Kitesurf, and wingfoiling.
Watertightness and durability
Glued Blind Stitch seams and reinforced areas with Maki_Tape 2.0 provide durability and limit water infiltration. These construction choices make the wetsuit reliable long-term, even with regular use.
Practical Details That Make a Difference.
The Seek Core integrates functional elements: Water Defender Leg to prevent legs from rolling up, Drain Holes to evacuate water, a key pocket, and separate leg straps. These are useful details in real-world conditions.
More Responsible Materials.
ION uses a neoprene-free rubber made from oyster shell powder, soybean oil, and eco-carbon black, along with linings made from recycled fibers. This maintains performance while offering a more environmentally friendly profile.
Ease of Use.
The Back Zip system makes the wetsuit accessible and quick to put on. This is a plus for those seeking a practical wetsuit without sacrificing essential performance.
