ION Element 4/3 Overknee LS Back Zip men

Description

ION Element 4/3 Overknee LS Back Zip for men is a flexible and durable 4/3 mm wetsuit for men, designed for watersports enthusiasts who value simplicity when they’re out on the water. The suit combines softness, stretch and durability in one package, and the Element series borrows several features from ION’s more technical wetsuits. The result is a well-balanced all-round wetsuit that offers excellent quality for the price.

The suit’s strength lies in its combination of warmth and freedom of movement. The plush Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining on the back and torso retains body heat and helps prevent wind chill, while the thin, smooth Silk_Stuff lining on the chest, shoulders and arms provides added stretch and comfort where you move the most. The seams are glued and blind-stitched, and all stress points are reinforced, so the suit is ready for many seasons on the water. Designed for water temperatures between 14 and 20 °C, it’s an ideal choice for spring, summer and fall.

  • Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining: Plush thermal lining on the back and torso that retains warmth and helps prevent wind chill.
  • Silk_Stuff lining: Thin, smooth lining on the chest, shoulders and arms for added stretch and freedom of movement.
  • Back zip: Classic back zipper with a double-sided entry design that makes it easy to get in and out of the suit.
  • Overknee design: The legs end just below the knees, giving you knee coverage without the hassle of full-length legs.
  • Glued and blind-stitched seams: Strong, flexible seam construction that keeps water out.
  • Reinforced stress points: Extra durability where the suit works hardest.

  • Care & Maintenance

    Caring for your wetsuit

    • Rinsing: Rinse the suit thoroughly in cold, fresh water after each use to remove salt, sand and sunscreen, which break down the neoprene over time.
    • Washing: If the suit needs a deeper clean, hand wash it in lukewarm water with a mild wetsuit cleaner. Never use a washing machine, tumble dryer, bleach or regular detergent.
    • Drying: Let the suit air-dry in the shade on a wide hanger, preferably inside out after a couple of hours. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators and other heat sources, as heat can damage the neoprene.
    • Storage: Store the completely dry suit on a wide hanger or loosely folded in a cool, dry and dark place. Avoid tightly folding it for extended periods, as this can leave permanent creases in the material.
    • Zipper and details: Keep the back zip free of sand, and lubricate it regularly with zipper wax. Pull the zipper gently, and avoid sharp objects and fingernails when putting the suit on.
  • FAQ

    What water temperatures is the wetsuit designed for?

    The ION Element 4/3 Overknee LS Back Zip is designed for water temperatures between 14 and 20 °C, making it a great choice for spring, summer, and fall.

    What does 4/3 mm mean?

    The numbers indicate the thickness of the neoprene: 4 mm over the torso and 3 mm on the arms and legs. This provides warmth where you need it and flexibility where you move the most.

    Why is the wetsuit overknee length?

    The legs end just below the knee, so you keep your knees covered but avoid the hassle of full-length wetsuit legs. This makes the wetsuit quick to put on and take off.

    Is the wetsuit good for beginners?

    Yes. The Element series is ION’s all-round series, combining simplicity and durability with technology from the more technical models, and the back zip makes it easy to put on.

    What sizes is the wetsuit available in?

    The wetsuit is available in sizes 46/XS to 56/XXL. Check the size chart to find the size that suits your height and weight.

    How do I care for the wetsuit?

    Rinse the wetsuit in cold, fresh water after each session, and let it dry in the shade on a wide hanger. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, and direct sunlight, as these shorten the life of the neoprene.

    How are the seams constructed?

    The seams are glued and blind-stitched, and all stress points are reinforced. This keeps water out and ensures a long lifespan.

    What’s the best way to put on the wetsuit?

    Make sure both the wetsuit and your skin are dry, and pull the wetsuit on slowly in small increments so you don’t damage the neoprene with your fingernails. Then close the back zipper all the way.
