Seek Amp 3/2 Front Zip 2024 Wetsuit

Performance & Feel

The Seek Amp sits at the top of ION's wetsuit range, built around one thing above all: flexibility. The 3/2 is its warmer-months version. Fewer panels, a continuous run of neoprene across the front and back, and the seam-free Sweep_Cut shoulder mean there's a lot of flexibility. For 2024 the foam density is changed which adds more stretch which holds that stretch as the suit ages.

For a 3/2 suit it is also very warm, and this year it’s even warmer. The lightweight I_foam neoprene traps more air in its structure than standard foam, Hot_Stuff 2.0 lines most of the suit with ION's plushiest, stretchiest thermal lining, and the Plasma_Plush 2.0 panel now covers a larger area for quick-drying warmth. Silk_Stuff lines the rest of the suit and feels soft next to the skin. The neoprene also takes in Oyster Shell Powder and Eco Carbon Black as part of a more environmentally considered manufacture.

The front zip seals across the chest. Dry_Grid lining absorbs up to 30% less water, so the suit stays lighter and chills you less by evaporation. Seal_Tite cuffs keep water ingress down.

Key Features

• I_foam neoprene: lightweight, low-density foam that traps air, for more stretch and flexibility retention
• Oyster Shell Powder and Eco Carbon Black: more environmentally considered materials worked into the neoprene
• Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining: ION's stretchiest thermal lining, with larger loops that hold more air for warmth and a plush feel
• Plasma_Plush 2.0 lining: a larger area of quick-drying thermal lining for extra warmth
• Silk_Stuff lining: smooth, flexible lining in the unlined areas for comfort next to the skin
• Minimal panel design and Sweep_Cut: fewer panels and a seam-free shoulder for second-skin stretch and more paddle reach and rotation
• Maki_Tape 2.0: highly elastic neoprene tape reinforcing the lower-body seams and high-stress cuff areas from the inside
• Seam reinforcement: stress points secured with Melco tape from the inside for longer seam life
• Dry_Grid lining: absorbs up to 30% less water, keeping the suit lighter and reducing evaporative chill
• Seal_Tite: rubber strips inside the cuffs and collar to slow water getting in
• DrainHoles: release trapped water below the chest zip.
• Replaceable draw cord: the shoulder draw cord can be swapped if it wears
• Key pocket: a small internal pocket for water-resistant keys
