ION Water

ION Element 3/2 Back Zip men

Description

ION Element 3/2 Back Zip is a flexible, stretchy, and durable men's neoprene wetsuit for those who like to keep things simple when they're out on the water. The Element series is ION's affordable entry point to watersports and works well for kiteboarding, surfing, windsurf, wingfoiling, wakeboarding, and SUP. Despite its simple approach, the wetsuit includes several features usually found only in the series' more technical models.

The wetsuit is made from 3/2 mm neoprene with two thoughtfully designed linings: The plush Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining on the back and torso traps air and keeps the wind chill out, while the thin, smooth Silk_Stuff lining at the chest, shoulders, and arms provides maximum freedom of movement. The seams are glued and blind-stitched, and all stress points are reinforced and sealed on the inside. This makes the Element a durable basic wetsuit that's ready for many years of sessions on the water.

  • Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining: The soft thermal lining with large loops traps air and warmth around the body and is the most stretchy thermal lining in ION's entire range.
  • Silk_Stuff lining: Thin, silky-smooth lining at the chest, shoulders, and arms that feels comfortable against the skin and offers optimal stretch.
  • Back zip: The long back zipper makes it quick and easy to get in and out of the wetsuit, and the strap can be fastened to the Velcro tab so it won't get in your way while you're out on the water.
  • Glued and blind-stitched seams: Waterproof seams with reinforced stress points for extra durability.
  • Shinpads and removable leg loops: Extra padding at the shins, along with removable leg loops that prevent water from flowing up into the wetsuit.
  • Drain_holes: Small holes that let water drain from the wetsuit after a wipeout, without letting new water in.
  • Affordable quality: An entry-level wetsuit that doesn't skimp on comfort, warmth, or durability.

Technical details: 3/2 mm double-lined neoprene · Fullsuit with back zip · 80% neoprene / 20% polyamide · Glued and blind-stitched seams · Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining and Silk_Stuff lining · Supra_Tex reinforcements · Suitable for water temperatures of around 17-22 °C

  • Care & Maintenance

    A wetsuit can last for many seasons if you take good care of it. Follow these simple tips to keep your suit flexible, watertight, and comfortable.

    Washing: Rinse the suit thoroughly in cold, fresh water after every use, inside and out, so salt, sweat, and sand don’t damage the neoprene or zipper. Never use a washing machine, tumble dryer, dry cleaning, or strong detergents.

    Drying: Hang the suit on a wide hanger or lay it flat to dry, preferably inside out at first. Let it dry in the shade, as direct sunlight and heat from radiators make neoprene stiff and brittle. Never wring the suit; instead, gently press the water out with your hands.

    Storage: Make sure the suit is completely dry before putting it away. Store it hanging or loosely rolled in a cool, dark place with good airflow, and avoid leaving it folded in the car or in your bag for a long time.

    Good to know: Watch out for nails, jewelry, and sharp objects when taking the suit off, and apply a little silicone spray or beeswax to the zipper from time to time to keep it easy to pull.

  • FAQ

    What water temperature is the ION Element 3/2 Back Zip designed for?

    The suit is designed for mild conditions, and ION specifies a temperature range of around 17-22 °C – typical of spring, summer, and early fall.

    How thick is the neoprene in the Element 3/2?

    The neoprene comes in two thicknesses: 3 mm where warmth is needed, and 2 mm where freedom of movement matters most.

    Is the back zip easy to use?

    Yes – the long back zipper makes it quick to get in and out of the suit, and the zipper pull can be fastened to the Velcro strap so it doesn’t flap around while you’re sailing.

    Which sports is the suit suitable for?

    It’s a versatile full wetsuit for kiteboarding, surfing, windsurf, wingfoiling, wakeboarding, and SUP – in other words, anything where you need warmth and flexibility in mild water.

    What sizes is the Element 3/2 Back Zip available in?

    The suit is available in a wide range of men’s sizes from XS to XXL – including slim and tall versions, so you can find a fit that suits your body.

    What is the suit made of?

    The outer material is made of 80% neoprene and 20% polyamide, while the inside combines the warm Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining with the soft Silk_Stuff lining.

    How should I best care for the suit?

    Rinse it in cold fresh water after use, let it dry in the shade on a wide hanger, and store it completely dry in a dark place – avoid the washing machine, tumble dryer, and direct sunlight.

    Is the Element series a good choice if I’m new to watersports?

    Yes – Element is ION’s affordable range of simple, durable suits that still offer technical features such as Hot_Stuff 2.0 and reinforced seams.
