DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Between Seasons
When a fullsuit is too much and a lycra isn't enough, this monoshorty covers your torso and blocks the wind. The thin neoprene keeps you super flexible.
Who is it for?
ION designed this for the most active surfers who need to regulate their body heat. It also works great as a base layer under a wetsuit.
Alone or as a Base Layer
Wear it on its own during warm weather. When the water cools down, layer it under a wetsuit for extra thickness on your torso, with nothing on your arms.
What It Doesn't Do
With its sleeveless design and short legs, this monoshorty won't replace a fullsuit in cold water. It's designed for summer and mid-season conditions.

FAQ - ION MONOSHORTY 0.5 MEN
A wetsuit should fit snugly, so go with your usual size. If you're between sizes, pick the smaller one.
Rinse with fresh water after each session. Dry in the shade, inside out then right side out. Never use a radiator or direct sunlight; neoprene hardens.
Wear it on transitional days when the air is mild but the wind brings a chill. It also works as a base layer all year round.
It covers your torso and upper thighs. Your arms and shoulders remain exposed, so make sure to use sunscreen or wear a long-sleeved lycra underneath.
