AQUA-Α™

All ION Wetsuits use the new Aqua-α ™ technology. Aqua-α ™ is a solvent-free and completely water-based glue. ION also uses dope dye, which is great for the 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!

SEAM_REINFORCEMENTS

All stress points are reinforced and secured from the inside with Melco tape for increased lifespan. If you accidentally left the suit in the trunk of your car on a hot day, they can start to peel off. Don't panic! Gently use an iron over the affected area as the glue is activated by heat.

CONTOUR_CUT

To improve flexibility and comfort, all ION wetsuits come with the Contour_Cut. It greatly enhances flex in the collar, wrists, elbows and insteps.

DRAIN_HOLES

Whenever two flaps overlap there is a chance that water can accumulate. In order to combat this we assure that quick water release is provided when needed, so Drain_Holes are secured in place from the inside and won't expand.

INTERNAL KEY_POCKET

Small pocket for your key. Please note, only store water resistant keys in order to avoid any damage. Placed on the back inside.

MAKI_TAPE 2.0

Improved version of highly elastic neoprene tape securing every inch of lower body seams and highly stressed cuff area.

SEAL_TIGHT

Easy entry, less fragile seams and better sealing.

DRAW_CORD

NINJA_KNEE

What's the one thing prospective wetsuit customers do at the shop? Yep, you guessed it! They pull on the wetsuit's arms. At the ION they think the legs deserve the same attention, so the new Ninja_Knees feature uses the same highly elastic materials as used in the arm panels. The result is astonishing with awesome freedom of movement, especially when bending the knees.

SWEEP_CUT

Seam-free shoulder construction, as introduced and proven in 2016 with the Onyx Select.

SUPRA_TEX

Highly abrasion resistant. Great strength against tearing. Primarily used on knee panels or buttock area.
