ION Element 2/2 Short Sleeve Front Zip men

Description

ION Element 2/2 Short Sleeve Front Zip is a short-sleeved men's wetsuit with a front zip, made for watersports enthusiasts who like to keep life on the water simple. Supple, stretchy, and robust - the Element line incorporates several features usually found in ION's more technical wetsuits. It's ideal for hot summer days, tropical destinations, and any session where you want core protection with complete freedom for your arms.

At the heart of the wetsuit is ION's tried-and-tested lining: The plush Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining on the back and torso traps air and shields your body from wind chill, keeping you warm even when you're soaked. At the chest, shoulders, and arms, the thin, smooth Silk_Stuff lining feels comfortable against bare skin and provides maximum freedom of movement where you need it most. With 2 mm neoprene, the wetsuit is designed for water temperatures between 21 and 26 °C.

  • Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining: Soft thermal lining on the back and torso that improves warmth, flexibility, and comfort.
  • Silk_Stuff lining: Thin, smooth lining at the chest, shoulders, and arms for improved stretch and comfort.
  • Front zip with two-way entry: Pull the zipper over your head from whichever side you prefer - quick and hassle-free to put on.
  • Reinforced seams: Glued blindstitching and flatlock seams with reinforced stress points for long-lasting durability.
  • Drain holes at the chest: Reinforced drainage holes quickly let excess water out of the wetsuit.
  • Short-sleeved freedom: Lightweight construction with full freedom of movement in the arms and thermal protection for your core.

Technical details: 2 mm neoprene (2/2) · Material: 80% neoprene / 20% polyamide · Water temperature: 21–26 °C · Front zip with double-sided entry · Glued blind stitching / flatlock · Reinforced stress points · Drain holes at the chest · Sizes: XS–XXL

  • Care & Maintenance

    Washing: Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly in cold, fresh water after each use so salt, sand, chlorine, and sunscreen don’t break down the neoprene. If it’s heavily soiled, hand-wash it in lukewarm water with a mild neoprene or wool detergent. Never use a washing machine, tumble dryer, or fabric softener.

    Drying: Let the wetsuit dry in the shade on a wide hanger or folded over the middle, ideally inside out first. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, and hair dryers, as heat can make the neoprene lose its elasticity and damage the seams’ adhesive.

    Storage: Make sure the wetsuit is completely dry before putting it away. Store it hanging on a wide wetsuit hanger or loosely folded in a cool, dark, dry place—not compressed in a bag or in the back of a hot car.

    General advice: Take the wetsuit off gently by pulling on the neoprene itself—not the seams or zipper. Keep it away from sharp objects, oils, and chemicals, and avoid applying sunscreen directly to the material.

  • FAQ

    What is the ION Element 2/2 Short Sleeve Front Zip suitable for?

    The seams are glued, blind-stitched, and flatlock-stitched, and all stress points are reinforced, so the wetsuit is built for many sessions in the water.
