Women Wetsuits

Women's Wetsuits — Designed for Women Riders

Women's wetsuits are not just smaller men's suits. The best women's wetsuits are cut on female-specific patterns — shorter torso length, adjusted chest and hip panels, narrower shoulders, and higher back panels that prevent flushing when riding in a forward-leaning stance on foil boards and kiteboards.

Our women's wetsuit range centres on the ION Amaze series — ION's dedicated women's line that spans the full thickness range from 2mm summer suits to 5/4mm winter models. Every Amaze suit features anatomically adjusted neoprene panels, pre-bent knees, and soft-touch collar linings that eliminate neck rash during long sessions.

Choosing Your Women's Wetsuit

Thickness follows the same water temperature guide as men's suits: 2mm for 22°C+, 3/2mm for 16–22°C, 4/3mm for 12–16°C, and 5/4mm below 12°C. Women tend to feel cold faster than men in water, so we often recommend going one step thicker than expected — especially for longer sessions.

The ION Amaze Element is our most popular women's suit — offering excellent warmth and stretch at a mid-range price in both back-zip and front-zip options. The Amaze Amp adds premium features: smooth-skin chest panels, thermal lining, and minimal seam construction for maximum flexibility.

Why Buy Women's Wetsuits at Surf Store

We carry ION women's wetsuits from XS to XL across all thicknesses. Our team can advise on sizing — ION uses height/weight charts with specific measurements for bust and hip that ensure a secure, comfortable fit. In-store fitting available in Maribor.

FAQ

Q: Can women wear men's wetsuits?
A: It's possible but not recommended. Men's suits don't account for female body proportions — the result is poor fit, cold spots, and discomfort around the chest and hips.

Q: What entry style for women's wetsuits?
A: Front-zip or back-zip both work well. Front-zip is warmer; back-zip is easier for getting dressed alone. Chest-zip suits are available in premium models.

Q: Does ION make maternity wetsuits?
A: ION doesn't produce a specific maternity range. For pregnancy, sizing up in a stretchy model like the Amaze Element often works for early stages. Consult your doctor before water sports during pregnancy.
