DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Front Zip and GBS seams: maximum watertightness
The Front Zip chest entry makes the suit easy to get into while improving the seal across your back. Combined with GBS (glued and blind-stitched) seams, reinforced with flexible tape at the knees and crotch, this wetsuit offers excellent resistance to flushing. Flat_Lock stitching at stress points and internal Maki_Tape 2.0 on the lower leg seams and cuffs ensure maximum durability. Reinforced Drain_Holes on the chest and legs allow for rapid drainage of any water.
Natural rubber and session comfort
The Seek Core 3/2 2026 uses 100% natural rubber made from oyster shell powder, soybean oil, and eco carbon black. This petroleum-free material is more flexible and better for the environment. The Hot_Stuff 3.0 lining (recycled Nylon) provides excellent heat retention, while Silk_Stuff 2.0 (recycled fabric) is used on the chest, shoulders, and arms for comfort. The Sweep_Cut design removes the shoulder seams for total freedom of movement when paddling and riding. The Cordlock lets you adjust the chest zip with one hand. Other features include a handy Key_Pocket, a replaceable cord, and leg straps.

FAQ
What's the difference between the Seek Core 3/2 and 4/3?
The 3/2mm thickness is ideal for summer sessions in temperate waters (17-22°C). For cooler mid-season and winter conditions (12-18°C), the 4/3mm wetsuit is more suitable. If you're a year-round rider, the 4/3 offers greater versatility; however, if you primarily hit the water in summer, the 3/2 will provide enhanced comfort.
What size should I choose for the ION Seek Core 3/2?
The ION Seek Core 3/2 is available in 48/S, 50/M, 52/L, 54/XL, and 56/XXL. To fine-tune your choice based on your height and weight, consult the ION size guide above. Remember, a wetsuit that's too loose will let in more water, significantly reducing its thermal efficiency.
