Performance & Feel

The Element is the base of ION's women's range, below the Amaze Core and Amp, and it's built around simplicity and value rather than the latest tech. As a 5/4 back zip it's a cold-water winter suit, with the warmth handled by Hot_Stuff 2.0, ION's stretchiest thermal lining, so you get heat retention without the suit going stiff. Silk_Stuff on the upper body keeps the shoulders comfortable and stretchy where you move most. It still borrows useful features from further up the ION range so it's far from basic to wear.

The back zip makes a 5/4 easy to climb into, and a flushguard panel seals off the zip to cut the cold water flushing in down your back. Seams are glued and blind-stitched with the stress points Melco-taped from the inside for a longer life. Built-in shin pads protect the shins and detachable leg loops cinch the ankles to keep water out.
