Features:
- 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. - Maxi Tape:
Highly elastic neoprene tape reinforces the seams on the lower body and commonly stressed cuff area from the inside. - Sweep Cut:
Seam-free shoulder design for increased paddle reach and shoulder rotation. - 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. - Detachable Velcro Leg Loops:
For an even tighter seal. If needed the velcro loop avoids any intrusion of water by perfect adjustment. In the unlikely case that the loop releases on the water it can not get lost due to its unique construction. - 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. - Leg Loop:
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. - 5mm Body / Arms / Legs
How does a wetsuit work?
A wetsuit creates a barrier against the elements utilizing the insulating properties of closed cell neoprene.
Neoprene is a closed cell foam made up of thousands of tiny air bubbles known as cells.
The air within the cells creates an insulating barrier which slows down the conduction of heat and cold and allows body heat to be retained.
Neoprene:
The thickness of the neoprene utilized in a wetsuit will determine its warmth and flexibility.
A thick wetsuit provides a lot of insulation but can inhibit flexibility.
A thin wetsuit will be very flexible but can inhibit insulation.
The key is to get the right combination of warmth and flexibility so the wetsuit will not only keep you warm, but provide maximum flexibility as well.
What is a steamer wetsuit ?
A 'Steamer' is a wetsuit with sealed seams, usually achieved by blind stitching.
This stops the majority of cold water from re-entering the suit once your body has initially heated it up.
Winter wetsuits are steamers typically with a 5mm body and legs for warmth and 3mm arms for manoeuvrability.
