Graphene is an impossibly light, strong and heat-conducting material. The result of incorporating it into our thermo lining is up to 20% more warmth compared to ION‘s Plasma Plush 2.0 lining. Made from reycled fabrics, Graphene Plush 2.0 guarantees an incredible drying time for your wetsuit, making sure it‘s always nice and comfy.

The Hot Stuff 3.0 comes with a plushier feel due to larger loops that trap more air for heat insulation. Made from recycled Nylon, it is the stretchiest thermo lining in ION's entire range.

Opens to the left closes to the right. Can be opened and closed with a single hand. Locked with a push button.

Inspired by nature's exoskeleton, the Exo Shield print on chest & back is designed to shelter against windchill, ensuring optimal warmth and providing extra grip when wearing a harness.

Ultralight Foam is an extreme lightweight and stretchy neoprene foam. It partly consists of oystershell powder. Thanks to its lower density it contributes to heatinsulation and better flexibility.

Seam-free shoulder design for maximum paddle reach and freedom of movement.

A soft cordlock allows for one-handed adjustment of the front zip flap, featuring a sleek, minimalistic design that you won't even notice.

All stress points are reinforced and secured by melco tape from the inside to ensure a longer lifespan of the seams.

Fully welded and glued seams, reinforced with durable external & internal taping, effectively prevent water leakage and enhance the wetsuit's longevity. 90% stitchless seams, 10% Glued-blind stitching (GBS).

Glued and Blind Stitched wetsuits are first glued and then with a curved needle halfway stitched thru the neoprene to prevent water entering the wetsuit.

Embossed sleeve and leg ends for a sleeker and more durable finish.

Less material at the crook of the arm increases the freedom of movement when bending the arm.

Less material at the knee bends increases the freedom of movement when bending them.
