DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Capture by ION
The Capture is ION's junior range, part of their progressive wetsuit collection. The ION Capture 2/2 Shorty SS Back Zip junior 2022 is the 2/2 short-sleeve shorty with a back zip from the 2022 vintage, now an end-of-line model at ION. The current Capture model is also available online.
Freedom of movement
ION emphasizes the Full Flex design. This optimized freedom of movement ensures a child can paddle and jump without restriction. A child can also fall without restriction.
Entry and watertightness
The back zip opens the wetsuit wide. This makes for the easiest entry for a child. The Water Gate Plus collar features additional seams for a better fit around the neck and improved watertightness.
For what conditions
A 2/2 shorty is the ideal wetsuit for warm summer days. Children cool down faster than adults, so if you're in doubt, always choose the next thickness up.

FAQ - ION CAPTURE 2/2 SHORTY SS BACK ZIP JUNIOR 2022
This shorty is for children or teenagers who frequently ride kitesurf, wingfoil, or surf, whether in school or a club. A 2/2 shorty is the perfect wetsuit for warm summer days.
Measure the child and refer to the ION size guide higher up on the page. The first number of the size indicates height in centimeters; the second is the indicative age. Height is the crucial factor. A wetsuit that is too large allows water to circulate and will not keep them warm. Do not size up for it to last longer.
Both are from the same junior range and serve the same purpose. The 2022 model is a previous vintage, now end-of-series at ION. The current Capture model is available online alongside it.
Rinse it with fresh water after each session, inside out. Let it dry in the shade on a wide hanger. Never dry it in the sun or on a radiator, and never fold it wet in a bag. Close the zip before hanging it, and rinse the pull tab. Sand in a zip is what wears it out.
We are a kite, wing, and surf shop in Pornichet, on the Atlantic coast, and we ride all year round. If you have any doubts about the size or thickness, call us or visit the shop with your child. They can try it on here.
