In ION crediamo che i limiti siano definiti principalmente dalle capacità e dalla passione di un individuo. Il vento e il tempo sono ostacoli che possiamo superare. Pertanto, vogliamo fornirti l’equipaggiamento che ti consente di individuare e superare i tuoi limiti. Vogliamo supportarti nella realizzazione dei tuoi sogni e desideri sull’acqua, in discesa e in aria. Tuttavia quando la salute del pianeta è in pericolo, dobbiamo confrontarci con altri limiti insormontabili. Crediamo che la nostra missione sia contrastare tutto questo cercando di mantenere i mari e l’aria puliti e il pianeta terra in salute.

Materials & Technology

Limestone Neoprene

We use earth mined limestone to replace petrochemicals in our neoprene. It comes from nature and has less environmental impact.

Materials & Technology

Eco Carbon Black

Carbon black, one of the key ingredients of neoprene, can now be pyrolyzed from scrap rubber tires. This significantly reduces energy consumption and cuts CO2 emission by 200g per wetsuit.

Materials & Technology

AQUA-ALPHA™ TECHNOLOGY

ION Wetsuits use the Aqua-α ™ technology. Aqua-α ™ is a solvent-free and completely water-based glue, which protects the health of workers at the factory as there is nearly no bad smell from the glue. The difference is huge - a good step for the people behind all the great wetsuits and the environment.

Materials & Technology

DOPE-DYING YARN

Dope-dying infuses dye pigments into molten plastic solution to produce coloured yarns without the dyeing process. This saves tremendous amounts of water while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.

Materials & Technology

Recycled Polyester

A wide selection of our fabrics are knitted with polyester yarn made from recycled plastic bottles. This helps to reduce waste and material consumption at the same time.-> 45 plastic bottles for one wetsuit
