ION Seek AMP Mens 5/4 BackZip Wetsuit 2021

Description

ION Seek AMP Semidry 5/4 BackZip

FREE poncho with this wetsuit! Poncho colour selected at random.

The ION Seek AMP 5/3 features a regular fit with a slightly wider cut specifically designed for solidly-built wind water sports athletes looking for a wetsuit that meets their ambitious demands on performance, stretch and freedom of movement.

Seek Amp stands for epic stretch. Ultra-flexible thermo lining combined with lightweight neoprene provides extra warmth for uncompromising freedom of movement all year round. The secret for optimal heat retention lies in ION’s super flexible inside lining, called Hot_Stuff 2.0, in combination with toasty warm Plasma_Plush 2.0 on the back panel. I_foam neoprene foam traps more insulating air thanks to a new structure which contributes to better heat retention and flexibility. In spots without thermal lining, super soft Silk_Stuff increases next-to-skin comfort to the max. Seek Amp Backzip models feature additional protection pads at the shins as well as detachable leg loops to prevent water from rushing into the suit.

All ION wetsuits are manufactured climate neutral. This means ION offsets the CO2 emissions, caused by production and transport of the products, by supporting a hydropower carbon offset project in Kuruwita, SriLanka – supported by ClimatePartner. The entire process is transparent and traceable thanks to the ClimatePartner label and a certificate.

Key Features

Drygrid

Leave the water in its rightful place down below, not in your wetsuit – Drygrid absorbs up to 30% less water. As a result, the wetsuit is lighter and cooling by evaporation is reduced. Last but not least the look of the Drygrid contributes to the sophisticated detailing.

Plasma Plush 2.0

Premium lining offering the best of heat retention and stretch. The high pile fabric traps air for snuggly warmth and insulation while the vertically aligned channel structure transports moisture away quickly – for a dry suit after your break in between sessions.

ECO_STRECH (black color way)

ION uses recycled nylon fabric for this black outside lining. The material is sourced from nylon waste, but the best thing is that its stretch properties are just as good as conventional linings.

Hot Stuff 2.0

The Hot Stuff 2.0 comes with a plushier feel due to larger loops that trap more air for heat insulation. It is the stretchiest thermo lining in ION’s entire range.

Silk Stuff

Smooth inside lining for a comfortable feeling on bare skin. Despite its snuggly appearance it proves to be really hard core when it comes to the interior’s superb flexible characteristics.

Maki Tape 2.0

Highly elastic neoprene tape reinforces the seams on the lower body and commonly stressed cuff area from the inside.

I Foam

The I Foam is an extreme lightweight and stretchy neoprene foam. Thanks to the new foamed structure with more air trapped inside and a lower density the I Foam also contributes to heat insulation and better flexibility.

Sweep Cut

Seam-free shoulder design for increased paddle reach and shoulder rotation.

Seam Reinforcement

All stress points are reinforced and secured by melco tape from the inside to ensure a longer lifespan of the seams.

Fused Edges

Embossed sleeve and leg ends for a sleeker and more durable finish.

Seal Tite

Again, this feature prevents water from rushing into the wetsuit by sealing off the cuffs and collar thanks to small rubber strips on the inside.

Drain Holes

Quick water release when needed in order to combat water accumulation inside the wetsuit. The Drain Holes are secured in place from the inside and won’t expand.

Leg Loop

All ION wetsuits with long legs come with detachable velcro straps (Leg Loop). The loops can be wrapped tightly around the ankle to prevent water from rushing into the suit. To avoid losing the Leg Loops when you’re in the water, they feature a unique, extra-strong velcro construction. If you choose not to use the velcro loops they can easily be removed by hand. Rear-zip wetsuits come with an extra-plush panel to secure the Leg Loops even tighter.

Crash Padz

Providing the extra bit confidence you need to progress – High density K Type neoprene pads at ribs and shins protect against pressure and impacts.
