ION Neo Top 2/2 SS men

Washing: Rinse your neoprene top in cold fresh water after each session to prevent salt, chlorine, and sweat from breaking down the material. For a deeper clean, hand-wash it in lukewarm water with mild soap or a special neoprene cleaner. Avoid the washing machine, tumble dryer, ironing, and fabric softener.

Drying: Let the top air-dry in the shade, either laid flat or on a wide hanger. Avoid direct sunlight, radiators, and other heat sources, as heat wears down the neoprene and can make it lose its flexibility.

Storage: Store the completely dry top folded flat or on a wide hanger in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Never leave it wet and rolled up in a bag, as this can cause odors and damage the material.

What is the ION Neo Top 2/2 SS men?

A short-sleeved 2/2 mm neoprene top that provides light protection from the sun’s UV rays and windchill on warm days on the water.

When should I wear a 2/2 mm neoprene top?

On warm summer days, wear it on its own with boardshorts. If the water is cooler, it works as an extra layer under your wetsuit or over a sleeveless long john.

What sports is it suitable for?

It’s made for watersports such as kitesurfing, surfing, windsurfing, wakeboarding, SUP and wingfoiling, where freedom of movement and light protection mean everything.

Which size should I choose?

The top is available in sizes 46/XS to 56/XXL and should fit snugly to keep you warm and protect you from windchill. If you’re between sizes, measure your chest and check ION’s size guide.

What is Silk_Stuff?

A silky-soft lining on the inside that feels comfortable against bare skin while also being flexible and durable.

What are Slip_Loop and Sunglasses_Loop used for?

Slip_Loop connects the top to your neoprene pants so your whole outfit stays in place during your session. Sunglasses_Loop is a small loop at the neck for the safety cord on your watersports sunglasses.

How do I best care for the top?

Rinse it in cold fresh water after use and let it dry in the shade. Store it dry and cool, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.

Can the top replace a wetsuit?

No, the thin 2/2 mm neoprene is designed for warm conditions or as an extra layer. For cold water, we recommend a full wetsuit instead.
