ION Neo Zip Top 2/1 LS men

With the right care, your neoprene top will retain its fit, elasticity, and soft lining for many seasons. Always rinse it in clean, cold fresh water immediately after use to keep salt, chlorine, and sweat from degrading the material.

• Washing: Hand-wash the top in cold water with mild soap or wetsuit shampoo when it needs cleaning. Avoid washing machines, tumble dryers, bleach, and fabric softener, as these damage the neoprene and lining.
• Drying: Gently squeeze out excess water instead of wringing the top. Hang it up or lay it flat to dry in the shade, away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators.
• Storage: Make sure the top is completely dry before putting it away. Store it hanging or loosely folded in a cool, dry place, never damp in a closed bag.
• Zipper: Rinse sand and salt out of the front zipper after use so it continues to slide smoothly.
• General care: Keep the top away from sharp objects, oils, and chemicals, and don't leave it wet and folded in the car or on the beach.
