Description
The Amaze AMP 3/2 Front Zip stands for an epic stretch without compromising warmth, making it the perfect wetsuit for all year round. The stretchy material is topped with a minimalistic panel design, providing freedom of movement in the crucial arm and shoulder areas. The secret for optimal heat retention is in ION's super flexible Hot Stuff 2.0 thermo lining combined with the Plasma Plush 2.0. I Foam neoprene has a foamy structure, allowing it to trap more air which improves heat retention and flexibility. The small silicone print at the front of the zip opening area further helps to shelter you from icy showers as it increases the connection between the top and bottom opening of the flap.

Plasma Plush 2.0 is a premium lining that offers the best when it comes to heat retention and stretch. The high pile fabric traps air for snuggly warmth and insulation while the vertically aligned channel structure transports moisture away quickly, allowing for a dry suit after your break in between sessions.
The Hot Stuff 2.0 lining comes with a plushier feel, this is due to the larger loops that trap more air for heat insulation. It is the stretchiest thermo lining in ION's entire range.
Silk Stuff offers a smooth inside lining for a comfortable feeling on bare skin. Despite it's snuggly appearance it proves to be really hardcore when it comes to the interior's superb flexible characteristics.
The seams on the lower body and commonly stressed cuff areas are reinforced from the inside with Maki Tape 2.0.
Increased paddle reach and shoulder rotation is achieved through the Sweep Cut which allows for a seam free shoulder design.
The soft Cord Lock can be adjusted with just one hand, it is a subtle addition that won't bother you while riding.
The Draw Cord is used to tighten the suit at the shoulder. The high load on this small detail can lead to unavoidable damage. However, ION have made this one easily replaceable, to help fix unavoidable issues such as this.
Water is prevented from rushing into the suit because of the Seal Tite which seals the wetsuit off at the cuffs and collar.
The Drain Holes allow for quick water release when needed to combat water accumulation inside the wetsuit. They are also secured in place from the inside as to ensure they don't expand.
The Key Pocket allows you to enjoy your session and stop worrying about your keys. Please Note that only water resistant keys should be stored in order to avoid any damage.
The connection between the flap at the front zip opening area, and the rest of the wetsuit is improved by the Water Barrier. This silicone application prevents water from flushing into the wetsuit, thus contributing to its overall warmth properties.
I Foam contributes to the overall heat insulation and improved flexibility. It is an extremely lightweight and stretchy neoprene foam made with Oyster shell powder rather than Limestone, making it more sustainable while maintaining it's superior characteristics.
All stress points are reinforced by Melco Tape from the inside to ensure a longer lifespan of the seams.
