ION Amaze Core 5/4 Front Zip Wetsuit – Women (2026)
Warmth, stretch and reliability for cold-water sessions. The ION Amaze Core 5/4 Front Zip is a versatile women’s wetsuit designed for kitesurfing, windsurfing, wing & surf in late autumn to spring conditions. A flexible panel layout, cozy thermal lining in key zones, and glued-blindstitched seams deliver long-lasting comfort with minimal flush.
Highlights
- Cold-water warmth (5/4 mm) – Thicker panels where you lose heat most (torso/legs), lighter in flex zones for paddling & handling the bar/boom.
- Front-zip entry – Low-bulk closure with adjustable cord lock for a secure seal and easy donning.
- Thermal lining in core zones – Plush, quick-dry lining on back/torso helps retain heat and reduce wind chill between tacks.
- Stretch where it matters – Soft inner lining in arms/shoulders for excellent range of motion.
- Sealed & durable – Glued & blindstitched (GBS) seams, taped/reinforced stress points, and anti-flush cuff details.
- Ride-day details – Drain holes to prevent water pooling, internal key loop pocket, robust knee pads.
- More responsible build – Water-based glue and limestone-based neoprene reduce solvent use and petro-dependence.
Recommended Temperature
~7–12 °C (45–54 °F) – adjust with boots/hood/gloves and your personal tolerance.
