ION Element 4/3 Front Zip men

Description

ION Element 4/3 Front Zip is a versatile men’s wetsuit for you if you love life on the water and want a suit that just works. The Element line is soft, stretchy, and durable, combining simplicity with selected features from ION’s more technical ranges. Made with 4/3 mm neoprene, it’s designed for cool days on the water with temperatures around 13-18 °C and is suitable for everything from surfing and windsurfing to kiteboarding, wakeboarding, SUP, and wingfoiling.

Double-lined neoprene makes the wetsuit durable and helps it keep its shape session after session. A soft Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining on the back and torso retains body heat and prevents you from getting cold when the wind picks up. The thin Silk_Stuff material on the inside at the chest, shoulders and arms provides maximum freedom of movement and comfort, while glued blind stitching keeps water out so the wetsuit stays warm throughout your session.

  • Front zip: The front zipper makes it easy to get in and out, so you can quickly put on and take off the wetsuit - even on your own.
  • Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining: Plush thermal lining on the back and torso that retains warmth and prevents wind chill.
  • Silk_Stuff lining: Thin, smooth material on the inside at the chest, shoulders and arms for increased stretch and comfort.
  • Glued blind stitching: Tight seams that limit water entry and improve insulation.
  • Reinforced details: Reinforced stress points and drainage holes at the chest increase durability.
  • Tight Fit: A close-fitting design that follows the body's contours and reduces water entry.

Technical details: 4/3 mm neoprene · 80% neoprene / 20% nylon · Double-lined neoprene · Front zip · Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining · Glued blind stitching · Water temperature approx. 13-18 °C

  • Care & Maintenance

    Care for your neoprene wetsuit

    Neoprene is a durable but sensitive material, and with the right care, your wetsuit will retain its stretch, warmth and fit for many seasons. Rinse your wetsuit after every use, let it dry in the shade and always store it dry and in a cool place - that way, you’ll get the most out of it.

    • Washing: Rinse your wetsuit thoroughly in cold fresh water after every session, including after using it in a chlorinated pool. For a more thorough clean, you can use lukewarm water and a mild cleaner made for neoprene. Never use a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the foam and the glue in the seams.
    • Drying: Hang your wetsuit on a wide hanger or folded over a thick bar, and let it dry in the shade with good airflow. Start by letting it dry inside out, then turn it right side out. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators, as UV light and heat make neoprene brittle.
    • Storage: Store your completely dry wetsuit hanging on a wide hanger or loosely folded in a cool, dry and dark place. Never leave it crumpled up in the car or store it damp in a bag, as this can cause odors and damage the material.
    • Good to know: Carefully take off your wetsuit from the inside, and avoid sharp objects and fingernails when putting it on and taking it off. Regularly lubricate the zipper with zipper wax or silicone spray, and check the seams for wear at the end of the season.
