Description
The ION Seek Core 4/3 Front Zip is a men's 4/3 mm full wetsuit with a front zip. It's the all-rounder of the Core range: high-end performance at an affordable price, with Hot_Stuff and Plasma_Plush thermal linings where they're needed most and reinforced stress points so it lasts many seasons.
Who it's for
- Kitesurf, wing, windsurf or surf riders who ride in cool water (10 to 18 °C).
- Anyone looking for high-end features at an affordable price.
- Riders who get out often and need a durable suit.
Features
- 4/3 mm thickness: 4 mm on the torso to retain heat and 3 mm on the arms and legs so you can move more freely.
- Water temperature: ION recommends it for cool water, from 10 to 18 °C.
- Cut: full suit with front zip.
- Plasma_Plush: loop-structured inner lining that traps more air and creates an insulating layer for more warmth and a plush feel.
- Hot_Stuff 2.0: plusher thermal lining, with larger loops that trap air to insulate against the cold; it's ION's stretchiest thermal lining.
- Silk_Stuff: silky inner lining, comfortable on the skin, very durable and highly flexible.
- Sweep_Cut: seamless shoulders for full paddling reach and freedom of movement.
- Cordlock: soft cord stopper to adjust the front zip flap with one hand, so discreet you won't even notice it.
- Replaceable cord: the cord that tightens the suit at the shoulder takes a lot of strain; it can now be replaced easily.
- Seam reinforcement: all stress points are reinforced on the inside with Melco tape to extend seam life.
- Key pocket: keeps your key safe during the session (water-resistant keys only).
- Composition: 80% neoprene and 20% polyamide.

Official ION chart. If you're between two sizes, choose the one that best matches your chest and weight: the suit should fit snugly, with no air or water pockets, while still letting 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 sizes available in store in the selector.

Frequently asked questions
What does 4/3 mean?
It's the neoprene thickness in millimetres: 4 mm on the torso, where retaining heat matters most, and 3 mm on the arms and legs, so you can move more freely.
What water temperature is it designed for?
ION rates it for cool water, from 10 to 18 °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.
