Official ION chart. If you're between two sizes, go for the one that best fits your chest and weight: the suit should be snug, with no air or water pockets, but still let you breathe comfortably. The tall sizes (ST, MT, LT, XLT) are for taller people and the short sizes (MS, LS, XLS) for shorter people with a broader build. Check the selector for the sizes available in store.

Frequently asked questions
What does 3/2 mean?
It's the neoprene thickness in millimetres: 3 mm on the torso, where keeping warm matters most, and 2 mm on the arms and legs so you can move more freely.
What water temperature is it designed for?
ION rates it for mild water, 14 to 22 °C. How it feels also depends on the wind, how long you spend in the water and how much you feel the cold.
What's the advantage of a front zip?
You get in through the chest and the back has no zip, so the suit seals better, less water gets in and the back is more flexible.
