ION Neo Shelter Jacket Amp women

How to care for your neoprene jacket

This guide is suitable for the ION Neo Shelter Jacket Amp women and other neoprene jackets with plush lining. Follow these tips, and your jacket will keep its warmth and fit for many seasons.

• After use: Rinse the jacket thoroughly in cold fresh water to remove salt, chlorine and sweat - salt residue breaks down neoprene over time.
• Washing: Hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent or a special neoprene cleaner. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, ironing and harsh cleaning products, as they damage both the neoprene and the lining.
• Drying: Let the jacket dry hanging or lying flat in the shade. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators - heat and UV radiation make neoprene brittle.
• Storage: Store the jacket completely dry, in a cool, dark place, preferably on a wide hanger or loosely folded. Never leave it wet and compressed in a bag or car trunk.
• Good to know: Avoid sharp objects and long fingernails that can cut the neoprene, and close the zipper completely when the jacket is not in use.

What is the ION Neo Shelter Jacket Amp women used for?

The jacket is an extra layer of warmth for cold and windy days on the water or at the beach - perfect over your wetsuit for kitesurfing, windsurfing, or just a walk along the coast.

How thick is the neoprene in the jacket?

The jacket is made from 2 mm neoprene, which provides good warmth while allowing freedom of movement as a mid or outer layer.

What is the jacket made of?

The material consists of 80% neoprene and 20% polyamide, and the inside features ION's Helio_Plush lining - a warm, stretchy jersey lining that dries quickly and doesn't absorb water.

Is the jacket waterproof?

The neoprene repels water and insulates effectively, but the jacket is primarily designed as a wind and warmth layer over your wetsuit - not as a substitute for a well-fitting wetsuit.

Can I wear the jacket with my harness?

Yes. The front of the jacket has a reinforced harness opening, so you can wear the jacket over your harness and still attach the hook.

Does the jacket have pockets?

Yes, the jacket has hand pockets with a Key_Loop where you can secure your key while you're on the water.

What sizes is the jacket available in?

The jacket is available in four sizes, from 36/S to 42/XL. Since neoprene should fit close to your body, it's a good idea to check ION's size guide before choosing.

What's the best way to care for the neoprene jacket?

Rinse the jacket in cold fresh water after use, hang it to dry in the shade away from direct sunlight and heat, and store it dry on a wide hanger.
