When to choose a 6/5 with hood
This model is made for young riders who keep going when temperatures drop. The 6/5 mm build and hood make sense when water and wind cool you down fast and a 4/3 or even 5/4 is no longer enough for longer sessions.
Warmth and wind-chill protection
The Capture 6/5 is designed to deliver basic thermal protection and reduce wind chill. The integrated hood helps limit heat loss around the head and neck—often the key to staying comfortable when it’s cold and you’re spending real time in the water or standing around between runs.
Comfort and mobility - Silk_Stuff lining
A thin, smooth Silk_Stuff inner lining improves stretch and wearing comfort. It helps the suit feel less stiff despite the thicker neoprene and makes getting in and out easier—especially important in junior sizes.
Seams and durability for frequent use
Glued-blind stitching helps reduce water entry and supports warmth. Reinforced stress points add strength in high-load areas, so the suit holds up better to frequent sessions, repeated stretching, and everyday spot use.
S_Type limestone neoprene
ION’s S_Type standard foam is made from limestone instead of oil and offers a practical balance of warmth and stretch. It’s a sensible material choice for a colder-water junior suit that still needs to move well.
Front zip entry and fit
Front zip entry is straightforward at the spot and often feels more secure around the chest. It can also help reduce flushing compared to some back zip setups, which is a real advantage when conditions get colder.
