ION Seek Amp 6/5 Hood Front Zip men 2027

The ION Seek Amp 6/5 Hood Front Zip is a men's hooded 6/5 mm full suit with a front zip. It is ION's top-of-the-range line: it combines their most flexible linings, mostly made from recycled materials, with excellent heat retention so you can move without restriction in icy water.

Who it's for

• Kitesurf, wing, windsurf or surf riders who ride in icy water, ION's coldest category.
• Anyone looking for maximum stretch and warmth in a high-end suit.
• Riders who spend long hours in the water in winter and value a suit that dries quickly between sessions.

Which size to choose

Official ION size chart. If you are between two sizes, choose 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, XXLS) for shorter people with a broader build. Check the selector for the sizes available in store.

Frequently asked questions

What does 6/5 mean?

It is the neoprene thickness in millimetres: 6 mm on the torso, where retaining heat matters most, and 5 mm on the arms and legs, so you can move more freely.

What water temperature is it designed for?

ION places it in its coldest category, for icy water. Pair it with boots and gloves if the water is very cold.

What is the advantage of the 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.
