DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Targeted Warmth and Comfort
The suit's 5/4 mm thickness and Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining in the torso and thighs keep your core warm where it matters most. On the back, the Plasma_Plush fleece lining reduces wind chill and dries quickly between sessions for greater comfort.
Freedom of Movement
ION uses a minimal seam design, particularly around the shoulders, and an optimised panel layout to maximise flexibility. Super-stretchy Silk_Stuff in the chest, shoulders, and arms gives you the range of motion you need for manoeuvres in surf or kitesurf.
Watertight and Practical
The front zip makes the suit easy to get on and off while limiting water entry at the chest, ensuring consistent warmth. A replaceable drawcord allows you to adjust the front closure panel with one hand.
Designed for Durability
High-stress areas are reinforced with Maki_Tape 2.0 and glued blind-stitched seams. Extra reinforcement at the knees and crotch extends the suit's lifespan. Practical features like a key pocket, drain holes, and separate leg straps complete the package.
Performance and Feel on the Water
Designed for cold water, the Amaze Core 5/4 offers a great balance between insulation and flexibility. You'll feel consistent warmth through your core and have enough mobility for turns, power delivery, and jumps, whatever your discipline.
Why Choose This Model
The Amaze Core 5/4 Front Zip 2023 is for women riders who want to stay warm without sacrificing freedom of movement. Its smart construction and durable reinforcements make it a reliable workhorse for regular sessions in surf, kitesurf, windsurf, or wingfoil.
