ION Neo Pants 2.0

Caring for your wetsuit pants

Washing: Rinse the pants in cold, running fresh water after each session to remove salt, chlorine and sweat. Use a mild wetsuit cleaner for a more thorough occasional wash. Avoid washing machines, tumble dryers and harsh cleaning products.

Drying: Hang the pants to dry in a well-ventilated place or lay them flat on a towel, preferably inside out. Dry them in the shade and avoid direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators.

Storage: Once completely dry, store the pants flat or loosely folded in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid hanging them for long periods, as this can affect the neoprene’s elasticity.

Good to know: Avoid contact with sharp objects and oily creams, which can damage the neoprene. With a little care, the pants will retain their shape, elasticity and warmth for many sessions.
