DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Capture by ION
The Capture is ION's junior line, known for its progressive wetsuits. This ION Capture 5/4 Front Zip junior 2022 is the 5/4 Double_flap frontzip fullsuit from the 2022 collection, now an end-of-line model at ION. You can find the current Capture model available online right alongside it.
Freedom of movement
ION emphasizes the Full Flex design. This optimized freedom of movement ensures a child can paddle, jump, and fall without restriction.
Entry and watertightness
The horizontal Double_flap zip makes entry simple. The Water Gate Plus collar has additional seams. This ensures a better fit around the neck and improved watertightness.
For what conditions
A 5/4 thickness is your go-to for winter on the Atlantic coast. Pair it with boots, gloves, and a hood when the wind turns cold. Kids cool down faster than adults, so if you're unsure, always choose the next thickness up.

FAQ - ION CAPTURE 5/4 FRONT ZIP JUNIOR 2022
For children or teenagers who kitesurf, wingfoil, or surf often, whether at school or in a club. A 5/4 wetsuit is the winter choice for the Atlantic coast, with boots, gloves, and a hood when the wind is cold.
Measure the child and check the ION size guide higher up on this page. The first number in the size indicates height in centimeters, while the second is an approximate age. Height is the crucial measurement. A wetsuit that is too large will allow water to circulate, preventing it from keeping you warm. Do not buy a 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 year's version, now at the end of its production run at ION. The current Capture 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. If you are unsure about the size or thickness, call us or visit the shop with your child. They can try it on here.
