To increase flexibility and comfort in this crucial area, ION uses Max_Flex, a new rhombus-shaped outside lining for unparalled stretch. Seek Select Backzip models feature additional protection pads at the shins.
Key Features
Max_Flex
Max_Flex represents the pinnacle of stretch in our outer linings. In addition to its outstanding flexibility, it doesn't absorb water; instead, it disperses it through tiny channels. This enhances water evaporation and shortens drying time.
Graphene_Plush
Graphene, known for its lightness, strength, and heat conductivity, has been seamlessly integrated into ION's latest inner lining. With the highest concentration in any wetsuit on the market, Graphene_Plush offers up to 20% more warmth than ION's Plasma_Plush 2.0. Plus, it ensures rapid drying for ultimate comfort.
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.
Power_Seams
Ultra slim outside sealing technology for a long lasting life span providing freedom of movement and comfort wrapped in a smart package. The Power_Seams adding a special touch and unique look to all ION Select models.
I_Foam
Low density I_Foam with peak heat insulation properties containg a mix of limestone and oyster shell powder.
Maki_Tape 2.0
Highly elastic neoprene tape reinforces the seams on the lower body and commonly stressed cuff area from the inside.
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
Fused sleeve and leg ends provide a smoother and more resilient finish.
Water_Gate
An internal neoprene panel seals off the back zipper, acting as a barrier to minimize the amount of water 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
Prevents water buildup within the wetsuit. The Drain Holes are securely fixed from the inside and do not widen.
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.
Sunglasses_Loop
A small webbing loop on the neck of wetsuits and tops to attach the safety line of watersport sunglasses.
Crash_Pads
Integrated padding at shins for low impact protection.
Novaskin
Sweep_Cut
Seam-free shoulder design for maximum paddle reach and freedom of movement.
Reduced material through embossing
Less material through embossings at the elbows and back of the knees for more freedom of movement.
Glued Blind Stitch
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.
Aqua-α™
Aqua-α™ is a solvent-free, water-based glue. Unlike conventional solvent-based adhesives, it is formulated without added solvents and is used during the lamination process of wetsuit components.
Limestone Neoprene
Limestone is one of the components used in selected neoprene foam formulations. The foam used in these wetsuits is free from petroleum-based chloroprene rubber.
Oystershell Powder
Biocalcium oxide powder derived from discarded oyster shells is used to partially replace limestone in our neoprene foam formulation. The oyster shell powder is incorporated into the foam compound alongside limestone and Eco Carbon Black.
Eco-Carbon Black
Carbon black is one of the components used in neoprene foam formulations. The Eco Carbon Black used in selected ION wetsuits is recovered from scrap rubber tires through pyrolysis and incorporated into the foam compound alongside limestone and Oyster Shell Powder.
