COMPARISON: NEO TOP 2/2 VS. CLASSIC RASHGUARD

| Cold/Wind Protection | Yes, provides thermal insulation. | No |
| UV Protection | Yes | Yes |
| Freedom of Movement | High (Max_Flex). | High |
| Best For | Cool water, mid-season. | Warm water, summer. |
Verdict: The Neo Top 2/2 is the ideal choice when the water or wind gets chilly, picking up where a standard lycra rashguard leaves off.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Max_Flex: Stretch that sheds water.
The Max_Flex panels at the shoulders and arms are ION's ultimate stretch material. Besides being exceptionally flexible, this material doesn't absorb water. It disperses it through micro-channels, which speeds up evaporation and shortens drying time.
Silk_Stuff Interior Comfort
Inside, the Silk_Stuff lining offers a very soft feel against the skin. It remains highly durable despite its great flexibility, for consistent comfort session after session, even when worn next to the skin.
Adjustment and Finishing Touches
The integrated Draw_Cord at the hem allows you to adjust the fit around your waist without constant fussing. The Fused Edges seams on the sleeves provide a smoother and more durable finish.
Sunglasses_Loop
A small strap loop is placed at the neckline to attach the safety line of your watersports sunglasses. It's a smart detail to prevent losing anything at sea, discreet but very practical when you're out on the water.
