Frequently asked questions
What does 2/2 mean?
It's the neoprene thickness in millimetres: 2 mm on both the torso and the arms and legs.
What water temperature is it designed for?
ION rates it for tropical water, 22 to 30 °C. How it feels also depends on the wind, how long you spend in the water and how much you feel the cold.
How do I get the size right?
Go by the height and weight in the chart. It's not a good idea to buy it several sizes too big so it lasts longer: water would get in and it would be much less warm.
