ION Seek Select 6/5 Hood FZ 2024

The best option for cold water activities, made of superior fabrics for maximum heat and stretch. The Seek Select 6/5 Hood Front Zip has a liner made of graphene, a remarkable heat conductor that keeps you toasty while you’re out on the water.

The most innovative wetsuit line without compromises, Seek Select, was created using only premium materials. A simple panel layout allows for unrestricted movement, and sealed seams increase lifespan. Graphene Plush was added to the torso and legs of the ION to enable exploration in the harshest environments.

The Hot Stuff 2.0 lining adds warmth to the head, neck, shoulders, and arms. ION employs Max Flex, a brand-new outer lining with an unparalleled stretch rhombus design, to boost comfort and flexibility in this vital area.

Key Features

Graphene_Plush

Graphene is an impossibly light, strong and heat-conducting material. ION integrated this revolutionary material into it’s new inner lining – with the highest concentration you’ll find in any wetsuit on the market. The result is up to 20% more warmth compared to ION’s Plasma_Plush 2.0 lining. Also, Graphene_Plush guarantees incredible drying times for your wetsuit, making sure it’s always nice and comfy.

Max_Flex

Max_Flex is our latest innovation in flexibility and stretch. The unique rhombus-shaped structure of this lining material allows it to be more flexible. Further does the material itself not soak up water but redistributes it on the surface thru small channels. This increases the evaporation of water and reduces drying time.

Hot_Stuff 2.0

Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining comes with a plushier feel due to larger loops that trap more air for heat insulation. It is the stretchiest thermo lining in ION’s entire range.

Power_Seams

Ultra slim outside sealing technology for a long lasting life span providing freedom of movement and comfort wrapped in a smart package. The Power_Seams adding a special touch and unique look to all ION Select models.

I_Foam

I_Foam is an extreme lightweight and stretchy neoprene foam. For this season we upgraded I_foam with Oyster shell powder, replacing Limestone. This upgrade makes our I_foam more sustainable while maintaining its superior characteristics. Thanks to the foamed structure with more air trapped inside and a lower density I_foam contributes to heat insulation and better flexibility.

Maki_Tape 2.0

Improved version of highly elastic neoprene tape securing every inch of lower body seams and highly stressed cuff area.

Sweep_Cut

Seam-free shoulder design for increased paddle reach and shoulder rotation.

Cordlock

So let’s get down to the nitty-gritty: A soft cord lock for front-zip wetsuits that can be adjusted with just one hand. It’s a subtle addition that won’t bother you while riding.

Seam_Reinforcement

All stress points are reinforced and secured by melco tape from the inside to ensure a longer lifespan of the seams.

Fused Edges

Embossed sleeve and leg ends for a sleeker and more durable finish.

Elbow_Hollow

Less material at the crook of the arm increases the freedom of movement when bending the arm.

Knee Hollow Embossing

Less material at the knee bends increases the freedom of movement when bending them.

Seal_Tite

A narrow rubber strip on the cuffs of the leg and arm ends, as well as on the collar. Ensures a better sealing and prevents the material from leaking.

Drain_Holes

In order to combat water accumulation inside the wetsuit we assure that quick water release is provided when needed. The Drain_Holes are secured in place from the inside and won’t expand.

Separate Leg_Loop

The loops can be wrapped tightly around the ankle to prevent water from rushing into the suit. To avoid losing the Leg_Loops when you’re in the water, they feature a unique, extra-strong velcro construction.

Replaceable Draw Cord

The cord is used to tighten the suit at the shoulder. The high load on this small detail can lead to unavoidable damage. Now it can be easily replaced. This is ION’s answer to planned product obsolescence that occurs in other industries.

Water_Barrier

The Water_Barrier at the front zip opening area improves the connection between the flap and rest of the wetsuit. This silicone application prevents water from flushing into the suit hence contributing to the overall warmth properties.
