Ultimate stretch without compromising warmth for anyone who loves the feeling of unparalled mobility. The Seek Amp 5/4 Back Zip features our new Max_Flex outside lining in the entire shoulder area & arms. Freedom of movement is key in this crucial area, no matter if you paddle for waves or hold on to your kite or sail. The secret for optimal heat retention lies in ION's super flexible Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermo lining combined with toasty warm Plasma_Plush 2.0 on the back against wind chill. On top, light & stretchy limestone neoprene insulates and adds up to flexibility thanks to its super foamy structure. Seek Amp Backzip models feature additional protection pads at the shins.

Max_Flex

Max_Flex is our latest innovation in flexibility and stretch. The unique rhombus-shaped structure of this lining material allows it to be more flexible. Furthermore, the material doesn't soak up water but redistributes it through small channels. This increases the evaporation of water and reduces drying time.

Plasma_Plush

Thanks to the looped structure, Plasma_Plush inside lining traps more air. The result is an insulating layer for increased warmth and plushy comfort.

Eco_Stretch

This outside lining is sourced from nylon waste, but the best thing is that its stretch properties are just as good as conventional linings.

Hot_Stuff 2.0

The Hot_Stuff 2.0 comes with a plushier feel due to larger loops that trap more air for heat insulation. It is the stretchiest thermo lining in ION's entire range.

Silk_Stuff

Smooth inside lining for a comfortable feeling on bare skin. Despite its snuggly appearance it proves to be really hard core when it comes to the interior's superb flexible characteristics.

Maki_Tape 2.0

Highly elastic neoprene tape reinforces the seams on the lower body and commonly stressed cuff area from the inside.

I_Foam

I_Foam is an extreme lightweight and stretchy neoprene foam. For this season we upgraded I_foam with Oyster shell powder, replacing Limestone. This upgrade makes our I_foam more sustainable while maintaining its superior characteristics. Thanks to the foamed structure with more air trapped inside and a lower density I_foam contributes to heat insulation and better flexibility.

Sweep_Cut

Seam-free shoulder design for increased paddle reach and shoulder rotation.

Seam_Reinforcement

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

Fused Edges

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

Water_Gate

Extra panel on the inside that seals off the back zipper and acts as a barrier preventing water from rushing into the wetsuit.

Seal_Tite

A narrow rubber strip on the cuffs of the leg and arm ends, as well as on the collar. Ensures a better sealing and prevents the material from leaking.

Drain_Holes

Quick water release when needed in order to combat water accumulation inside the wetsuit. The Drain_Holes are secured in place from the inside and won't expand.

Leg_Loops

Velcro patch to offer the option of attaching the Leg_loops. The loops can be wrapped tightly around the ankle to prevent water from rushing into the suit. To avoid losing the Leg_Loops when you're in the water, they feature a unique, extra-strong velcro construction.

Sunglasses_Loop

A small webbing loop on the neck of wetsuits and tops to attach the safety line of watersport sunglasses.

Crash_Pads

The extra padding on the shins provides improved protection from impact.

Novaskin
Glued Blind Stitch

Glued and blind-stitched seams are crafted by first applying adhesive, followed by stitching with a curved needle halfway through the neoprene to ensure water resistance.
