Ion Seek Select FZ 6/5 Hooded Wetsuit 2024

SKU: 48232-4457

The Seek Select 6/5 Hood Front Zip comes with Graphene lining - an incredible heat conductor that makes sure you stay warm on the water. Only high-quality materials were used to make the Seek Select the most progressive wetsuit line without compromises. A minimalistic panel design allows for limitless freedom of movement while sealed seams prolong the lifetime. Made to explore the toughest conditions, ION added GraphenePlush throughout the torso and legs. HotStuff 2.0 lining provides additional warmth to the arms, shoulders, neck & head. To increase flexibility and comfort in this crucial area, ION uses Max_Flex, a new rhombus-shaped outside lining for unparalled stretch.

Features

Graphene_Plush
Graphene is an impossibly light, strong and heat-conducting material. ION integrated this revolutionary material into it's new inner lining – with the highest concentration you'll find in any wetsuit on the market. The result is up to 20% more warmth compared to ION's PlasmaPlush 2.0 lining. Also, GraphenePlush guarantees incredible drying times for your wetsuit, making sure it's always nice and comfy.

Max_Flex
Max_Flex is our latest innovation in flexibility and stretch. The unique rhombus-shaped structure of this lining material allows it to be more flexible. Further does the material itself not soak up water but redistributes it on the surface thru small channels. This increases the evaporation of water and reduces drying time.

Hot_Stuff 2.0
Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining 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.

Power_Seams
Ultra slim outside sealing technology for a long lasting life span providing freedom of movement and comfort wrapped in a smart package. The Power_Seams adding a special touch and unique look to all ION Select models.

I_Foam
IFoam is an extreme lightweight and stretchy neoprene foam. For this season we upgraded Ifoam with Oyster shell powder, replacing Limestone. This upgrade makes our Ifoam more sustainable while maintaining its superior characteristics. Thanks to the foamed structure with more air trapped inside and a lower density Ifoam contributes to heat insulation and better flexibility.

Maki_Tape 2.0
Improved version of highly elastic neoprene tape securing every inch of lower body seams and highly stressed cuff area.

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

Cordlock
So let's get down to the nitty-gritty: A soft cord lock for front-zip wetsuits that can be adjusted with just one hand. It's a subtle addition that won't bother you while riding.

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.

Elbow_Hollow
Less material at the crook of the arm increases the freedom of movement when bending the arm.

Knee Hollow Embossing
Less material at the knee bends increases the freedom of movement when bending them.

Seal_Tite
A narrow rubber strip on the cuffs of the leg and arm ends, as well as on the collar. Ensures a better sealing and prevents the material from leaking.

Drain_Holes
In order to combat water accumulation inside the wetsuit we assure that quick water release is provided when needed. The Drain_Holes are secured in place from the inside and won't expand.

Separate 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.

Replaceable Draw Cord
The cord is used to tighten the suit at the shoulder. The high load on this small detail can lead to unavoidable damage. Now it can be easily replaced. This is ION's answer to planned product obsolescence that occurs in other industries.

Water_Barrier
The Water_Barrier at the front zip opening area improves the connection between the flap and rest of the wetsuit. This silicone application prevents water from flushing into the suit hence contributing to the overall warmth properties.
