ION Element 2/2 SS Back Zip men

Description

ION Element 2/2 SS Back Zip is a short-sleeved men’s wetsuit made from 2/2 mm neoprene, designed for water enthusiasts who prefer simplicity on the water. The suit is flexible, stretchy, and durable, and the Element line brings together several of the best features from ION’s more technical suits. It’s a great companion for surfing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, wingfoiling, SUP, and wakeboarding in warm water.

The back zip makes it easy to get into and out of the suit, and the opening can be pulled over your head from either side. Inside, the thin, smooth Silk_Stuff lining on the chest, shoulders, and arms offers extra stretch and comfort, while the plush Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining on the back and torso traps air and keeps wind chill away. Flatlock seams and reinforced stress points with melco tape on the inside ensure the suit holds up to many sessions on the water.

  • 2/2 mm neoprene: Lightweight, stretchy thickness that provides full freedom of movement in warm water.
  • Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining: ION’s most elastic thermal lining on the back and torso traps air and prevents wind chill.
  • Silk_Stuff lining: Thin, smooth lining on the chest, shoulders, and arms for comfort and maximum flexibility.
  • Back Zip with Water Gate: Back zip with an inner panel that seals the zipper and prevents water from washing into the suit.
  • Reinforced seams: Stress points are secured with melco tape on the inside for longer durability.
  • Drain Holes: Drain holes that quickly let accumulated water out.
  • Eco-friendly construction: Limestone neoprene and solvent-free Aqua Alpha glue without harmful fumes.

    Caring for your wetsuit

    With the right care, your ION Element neoprene wetsuit will stay flexible and watertight for many seasons. Follow these simple tips:

    • Rinse after every use: Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly in cold fresh water to remove salt, sand, and sweat, which break down the neoprene over time.
    • Wash gently: Hand-wash in lukewarm fresh water with a little mild soap or wetsuit shampoo. Never use a washing machine, tumble dryer, or harsh cleaning products.
    • Dry in the shade: Hang the wetsuit on a wide hanger or fold it over the middle, away from direct sunlight, radiators, and other heat sources - heat and UV light make neoprene brittle.
    • Storage: Store the completely dry wetsuit on a wide hanger in a cool, dry, dark place, and avoid tightly rolling or compressing it in the trunk.
    • Zipper and details: Keep the back zip clean and remove sand and salt deposits so it remains easy to use.
    • Transport: Make sure the wetsuit is completely dry before putting it in a bag or car, otherwise it may develop odors and mold.

    What's the easiest way to get in and out of the wetsuit?

    The horizontal back zip makes it easy to get in, and the opening can be pulled over your head from either side.

    Which sports is the wetsuit suitable for?

    How does the fit feel?

    What do Water Gate and Drain Holes do?

    Water Gate is an inner panel that seals the back zip to prevent water from rushing in, while Drain Holes quickly let any water that gets inside drain back out.

    Yes - reinforced stress points with melcotape and durable flatlock seams make the Element wetsuit durable for frequent use in warm water.
