DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Max_Flex: The stretch that wicks away water.
The Max_Flex panels, strategically placed at the shoulders and arms, represent ION's pinnacle of stretch technology. Beyond exceptional flexibility, this material actively disperses water through micro-channels, accelerating evaporation and significantly shortening drying time.
Silk_Stuff interior comfort.
Inside, the Silk_Stuff lining provides a luxuriously soft feel against your skin. This durable yet incredibly flexible material ensures consistent comfort, session after session, even when worn directly against your skin.
Fit and Finishes
The integrated Draw_Cord at the hem lets you fine-tune the fit around your waist, so you're not constantly readjusting. Plus, Fused Edges seams on the sleeves provide a smoother, more durable finish that stands the test of time.
Sunglasses_Loop
A small strapped loop at the neckline lets you secure your watersports sunglasses safety line, a thoughtful detail that keeps them safe from being lost at sea. It's discreet but incredibly practical for your sessions.
