ION Ballistic Socks 3/2 Internal Split

The Ultimate Performance Choice for Precision and Protection.

The ION Ballistic Socks 3/2 Internal Split (IS) are the technical pinnacle of ION’s premium footwear line. While sharing the "bullet-proof" DNA of the Round Toe version, the Internal Split is designed for riders who demand maximum stability and a "locked-in" feel. By separating the big toe from the rest of the foot inside the boot, it eliminates foot-roll during high-pressure turns and jibes, making it the preferred choice for technical wing foilers and kitesurfers.

In ION's cold-water accessories range, the Ballistic name points to the more protective, more rugged end of the line-up. Choose it if you ride harder, launch off rough ground, or simply want something that feels more robust under regular use.

FAQs

This is best suited to riders who want to extend their comfort window in cooler water and wind without jumping straight to the bulkiest option available.

Not always. The right choice depends on your local conditions, how cold you personally get, and how much board feel or dexterity you want to keep. Many riders are better off with the lightest option that still keeps them comfortable.
