DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Targeted Warmth and Comfort
This wetsuit features a 5/4 mm thickness and Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining on the torso and thighs. This ensures warmth where you need it most. On the back, Plasma_Plush fleece limits wind chill and provides quick-drying comfort between sessions.
Freedom of movement
ION has minimized seams on the shoulders and adopted a minimalist panel design to boost elasticity. Silk_Stuff on the chest and shoulders further improves stretch. It also facilitates movement during your surf or kitesurf maneuvers, especially on the arms.
Watertightness and Practicality
The front zip makes the wetsuit easy to put on while limiting water infiltration at the torso for a more consistent warm feel. A replaceable adjustment cord allows for one-handed adjustment of the front closure panel.
Durability Designed for Use
High-stress areas are reinforced with Maki_Tape 2.0 and invisible glued seams, while knee and crotch reinforcements extend the wetsuit's longevity. Practical details like a key pocket, drainage holes, and thigh straps complete the equipment.
Usage and On-Water Feel
Designed for cold waters, the Amaze Core 5/4 offers an excellent balance between insulation and flexibility. You'll experience consistent warmth on your torso and ample mobility to execute turns, power delivery, and jumps, no matter your discipline.
