ION Element 2/2 Shorty LS Back Zip men

Description

ION Element 2/2 Shorty LS Back Zip men is the versatile shorty wetsuit for men who want the essentials for summer days on the water: plenty of freedom of movement, solid protection and a simple design without unnecessary details. With long sleeves and 2/2 mm neoprene, it's made for warm water temperatures, and the Element line borrows several features from ION's more technical ranges. A great companion for surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, wingfoiling and SUP.

At the heart of the suit is ION's plush Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining on the back and torso, which retains warmth and protects against wind chill while you wait for the next wave or jump. At the chest, shoulders and sleeves, the thin, smooth Silk_Stuff lining provides extra stretch and comfortable wear, right where you move the most. The seams are made with glued blindstitch/flatlock construction and reinforced stress points, so the suit is ready for many hours in the water. The easy-to-use back zip makes it easy to get in and out of the suit, a Water_Gate flap behind the zipper keeps cold water out, and Drain_Holes quickly drain trapped water.

  • Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining: Plush thermal lining on the back and torso that increases warmth and prevents wind chill.
  • Silk_Stuff lining: Thin, smooth lining at the chest, shoulders and sleeves for maximum stretch and comfort.
  • Back zip: Classic back zipper that makes getting in and out easy.
  • Water_Gate flap: Neoprene flap behind the zipper that reduces water entry.
  • Drain_Holes: Integrated drains that quickly release trapped water after your session.
  • Reinforced seams: Glued blindstitch/flatlock with reinforced stress points for extra durability.
  • 2/2 mm double-lined neoprene: Flexible, durable construction designed for warm water.

  • Care & Maintenance

    With a little care, your ION Element 2/2 Shorty LS Back Zip will last for many seasons. Neoprene appreciates a little care, so follow these simple tips:

    • Rinse after every use: Rinse the wetsuit in cold, clean fresh water after every session so salt, chlorine, and sweat don’t break down the neoprene and lining over time.
    • Wash with care: When needed, use a mild neoprene cleaner or mild soap in cold water. Avoid the washing machine, tumble dryer, iron, and bleach.
    • Dry in the shade: Hang the wetsuit on a wide hanger in the shade, and turn it inside out along the way so both sides dry. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators.
    • Store it properly: Store the completely dry wetsuit on a wide hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or rolling it up for long periods.
    • Handle with care: Take off the wetsuit by slowly rolling it down your body, and avoid sharp objects and long fingernails that could damage the neoprene and seams.
    • The zipper: Keep the backzip clean and dry, and never force it, so it slides easily for many years.
  • FAQ

    What water temperature is the ION Element 2/2 Shorty LS suitable for?

    The wetsuit is designed for warm water and works best at around 21-26 °C, making it ideal for hot summer days. For colder conditions, we recommend a thicker wetsuit.

    How many millimeters of neoprene does the wetsuit have?

    The Element Shorty LS is made from 2/2 mm double-lined neoprene, providing a good balance of flexibility and protection in warm water.

    How should I choose the size?

    The wetsuit is available in men's sizes EU 46/XS to 56/XXL and fits close to the body like a second skin. Compare your height, chest measurement, and weight with ION's size guide to find the right fit.

    Which sports is the wetsuit suitable for?

    It's a versatile summer wetsuit for surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wingfoiling, wakeboarding, and SUP.

    What are Hot_Stuff 2.0 and Silk_Stuff?

    Hot_Stuff 2.0 is ION's plush thermal lining on the back and torso that retains warmth, while Silk_Stuff is a thin, smooth lining on the chest, shoulders, and sleeves that provides extra stretch and comfort.

    Is the wetsuit easy to get in and out of?

    Yes. The classic back zip makes it easy to put on and take off, and a Water_Gate flap behind the zipper reduces water entry, while Drain_Holes let water drain back out.

    What is the wetsuit made of?

    The material consists of 80% neoprene and 20% nylon, providing a good blend of stretch, durability, and comfort.

    How should I care for my wetsuit?

    Rinse the wetsuit in cold fresh water after use, and let it dry in the shade on a wide hanger - never in a tumble dryer or in direct sunlight. Store it dry and hanging in a cool place so the neoprene retains its shape and elasticity for as long as possible.
