Hot Stuff Neoprene:
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.
Fully Glued Blind-Stitch Water Sealing:
The edges of the neoprene panels are covered with a highly adhesive, UV resistant contact glue which needs to dry for a few minutes. Then the glue is applied a second time to make it more sticky. Once the corresponding parts of the neoprene edges are put together by hand and then firmly squeezed with an electric pressing tool cm by cm to achieve the high tearing strength, the seams are stitched on the inside with a special blind-stitch sewing machine. A curved needle pokes through the neoprene layer and applies an elastic seam on the outside. By using this technique, the seam is highly tear proof, elastic and completely watertight and provides insulation and comfort.
Seam Reinforcements:
All stress points are reinforced and secured by melco tape from the inside to ensure a longer lifespan of the seams.
Double Side Entry:
For hassle-free entry, simply pull the front zip over your head from whatever side you prefer.
Supratex reinforcement on the knees:
Protection panels on the knees with flex zones for bending and highest abrasion resistance.
Contour Cut:
To improve mobility and comfort, all ion wetsuits now come with a contour cut. It enhances the flexibility in the collar, wrist, ellbow, instep and the hollow of the knee.
