ION Static 2/2 Shorty Short Sleeve Back Zip Wetsuit Men

The ION Static 2/2 Shorty Short Sleeve Back Zip Wetsuit is a premium, summer-weight performance wetsuit engineered specifically for warm-water watersports like windsurfing, kitesurfing, wing foiling, and paddleboarding. Balancing incredible flexibility with core windchill protection, this 2mm shorty is designed for riders who demand maximum freedom of movement during high-energy sessions without compromising on thermal comfort.

Key Performance Features

• Cyber_Stretch & Superflex Neoprene: Built with ION’s highly flexible neo-stretch foam, allowing for unrestricted shoulder rotation when paddling, pumping a wing, or handling a boom. The interior lining feels exceptionally soft against the skin, reducing the risk of chafing during long sessions.

• Windchill-Resistant Core: The chest and back panels feature a smooth, optimized neoprene lining that sheds water rapidly. This acts as a barrier against evaporative cooling and cold windchill, keeping your core warm even during high-velocity sports.

• Ergonomic Back-Zip Entry: Features a robust, vertical rear-entry zipper configuration. This classic design allows the suit to open wide, making it incredibly fast and easy to slide into and out of at the beach.

• Crash_Pad Protection: Integrated high-density foam padding is strategically placed over vulnerable areas to help absorb impacts from foil masts, boards, or hard falls, providing added confidence when pushing your limits.

• Seam Reinforcements: Critical stress points along the seams are reinforced from the inside with specialized Melco tape, ensuring long-term durability and preventing premature wear from repetitive stretching.

Fit and Comfort Guide

Pro Tip: ION wetsuits are designed with a precise, athletic contour fit. The suit should feel like a second skin across the chest and shoulders to ensure water cannot easily flush through the back zip, while the flatlock seams lie completely flat to eliminate friction against your skin when wet.
