DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Warmth and thermal linings
The Seek Amp combines quick-drying properties with exceptional stretch. The highly flexible Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining is used on the front of the wetsuit, while the back features Plasma_Plush 2.0, a soft, quick-drying fabric for enhanced protection against cold wind. On the shoulders and arms, the thin, silky Silk_Stuff textile ensures maximum stretch in these areas where freedom of movement is paramount. The overall design targets a temperature range of 11°C to 16°C, ideal for mid-season sessions in temperate waters.
Max_Flex recycled stretch and I_Foam neoprene
The ultra-flexible recycled Max_Flex outer lining covers the chest, shoulders, and neck: it offers 30% increased flexibility, quick-drying properties, and maximum comfort. Its diamond structure enhances suppleness, while the material does not absorb water but wicks it outwards through small channels, reducing drying time. On the rest of the body, Eco_Stretch material, made from recycled nylon, ensures durability without compromising performance (only on the black colorway). The low-density I_Foam neoprene retains more air for optimal thermal insulation and flexibility, and now incorporates oyster shell powder as a replacement for limestone rock.
Watertightness: front zip and seams
The new zip opens to the left and closes to the right with one hand, and a soft Cordlock drawstring closure allows for one-handed adjustment of the front flap. Glued blind seams enhance strength, while flexible taped seams on the inside and reinforced stress points (Maki_Tape 2.0) ensure flexibility and resistance. Fused edges on the arms and legs increase resistance and comfort. Watertight silicone prints on the front closure, arms, and legs, Seal_Tite at the seals and collar, and Water_Barrier under the zip flap limit water infiltration.
Fit, Finishes, and Durability
The seamless Sweep_Cut shoulders and minimized panel design give you unparalleled freedom of movement for paddling and pivoting. This wetsuit also features reinforced Drain_Holes at the chest and legs, a key pocket with a loop, a replaceable drawstring, and separate leg straps. We prioritize responsible materials in its construction: Aqua Alpha glue (entirely water-based and solvent-free), limestone neoprene, Eco-Carbon Black (carbon black from used tires), water-saving dope dyeing, and oyster shell powder. The composition is 80% neoprene, 10% polyamide, and 10% recycled polyamide.

FAQ
What size should I choose for the ION Seek Amp 4/3?
Refer to the ION size guide above, which is based on your height and weight. It also considers your chest circumference. The black colorway also offers Short (28/XXLS) and Tall (94/ST, 102/LT) cuts, perfect for shorter or more slender body types. Remember, a wetsuit that's too loose will let in more water, reducing its thermal efficiency.
Is the Seek Amp suitable for wing foil and kitesurf?
Yes. Its recycled Max_Flex lining and seamless Sweep_Cut shoulders offer great freedom of movement, making it ideal for wing foil, kitesurf, windsurf, and Surf. The 4/3mm thickness and thermal linings make it perfect for mid-season sessions in temperate waters (11°C - 16°C).
What's the difference between the black and blue colors?
Both colors share the same core technologies. However, the black colorway exclusively features Eco_Stretch material made from recycled nylon throughout the rest of the body, and it's the only option offering Short and Tall cuts. The 732 blue-nights color is available in standard sizes up to 56/XXL.
