DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Front Zip and GBS seams: maximum watertightness
The Front Zip chest closure allows for quick donning while significantly improving watertightness across your back. Combined with GBS (glued blind stitched) seams, further reinforced with flexible tape at the knees and crotch, this wetsuit offers exceptional resistance to water entry. Flat_Lock at seam junctions and Maki_Tape 2.0 internally reinforce the lower leg seams and cuffs, ensuring maximum durability. Plus, reinforced Drain_Holes at the chest and legs allow for quick drainage of any accumulated water.
Natural rubber and session comfort
The Seek Core 3/2 2026 utilizes 100% natural rubber, derived from oyster shell powder, soybean oil, and eco carbon black. This petroleum-free blend is more flexible and environmentally friendly. The Hot_Stuff 3.0 lining, made from recycled Nylon, ensures excellent thermal retention, complemented by Silk_Stuff 2.0 (recycled fabric) on the chest, shoulders, and arms. The innovative Sweep_Cut eliminates shoulder seams, providing maximum freedom of movement for paddling and riding. The Cordlock allows for easy, one-handed adjustment of the chest closure. Completing the features are a convenient Key_Pocket, a replaceable cord, and secure leg straps.

FAQ
What is the difference between the Seek Core 3/2 and 4/3 wetsuits?
The 3/2mm thickness is ideal for summer sessions in temperate waters (17-22°C). For cooler mid-season and winter conditions (12-18°C), the 4/3mm wetsuit is more suitable. If you're a year-round rider, the 4/3 offers greater versatility; however, if you primarily hit the water in summer, the 3/2 will provide enhanced comfort.
What size should I choose for the ION Seek Core 3/2?
The ION Seek Core 3/2 is available in 48/S, 50/M, 52/L, 54/XL, and 56/XXL. To fine-tune your choice based on your height and weight, consult the ION size guide below. Remember, a wetsuit that's too loose will let in more water, significantly reducing its thermal efficiency.
