Warm 5/4 mm Construction for Cold-Water Sessions
A good surfing wetsuit needs to keep you warm while still allowing your body to move naturally. The ION Amaze Core uses a 5/4 mm thickness configuration to provide dependable insulation in cooler conditions.
The thicker neoprene helps protect important areas of the body from cold water and wind, making the wetsuit suitable for autumn, winter and cold spring sessions depending on local conditions and personal cold tolerance.
ION lists the Amaze Core 5/4 Back Zip for water temperatures around 8°C to 13°C (46°F to 56°F). Of course, comfort can vary depending on wind, activity level and how sensitive the rider is to cold.
Hot_Stuff 2.0 Thermal Lining
One of the standout features of this wetsuit for Women is ION’s Hot_Stuff 2.0 thermal lining. This flexible lining is used in important areas to help improve warmth without making the suit feel unnecessarily restrictive.
The larger loop structure helps trap air, creating an insulating layer that supports heat retention. At the same time, Hot_Stuff 2.0 is designed to maintain excellent stretch, which is especially important when paddling, surfing or controlling a kite or windsurf rig.
Plasma_Plush Protection on the Back
The back area features ION’s Plasma_Plush lining. This plush, quick-drying material helps provide additional warmth and protection against wind chill.
The looped structure helps trap air for insulation while creating a soft interior feel. This makes the Amaze Core a strong option for riders who regularly spend time in windy and cool conditions.
Comfortable Stretch Where You Need It
Warmth is important, but flexibility is equally essential in a quality Women wetsuit. The ION Amaze Core 5/4 Backzip uses a combination of materials and a minimized panel design to improve mobility.
Silk_Stuff Interior Lining
ION uses Silk_Stuff lining in selected high-movement areas. This smooth and soft lining feels comfortable against the skin while supporting flexibility.
The shoulders and arms are particularly important areas for movement. Whether you are paddling through waves or reaching for your equipment, a flexible upper body can make a noticeable difference during long sessions.
Seam-Free Shoulder Design
The Amaze Core also benefits from a seam-free shoulder construction and a reduced panel layout. Fewer unnecessary seams can help improve mobility and reduce potential pressure points.
This gives the wetsuit a more natural feel when moving your arms and upper body.
Benefits of the Flexible Construction
- Improved freedom of movement
- Comfortable paddling and swimming
- Better mobility through the shoulders
- Reduced restriction during active watersports
- Soft interior feel against the skin
- Suitable for long sessions on the water
Easy Backzip Entry System
The backzip design makes the ION Amaze Core easy and convenient to use. A back zipper generally provides a wider opening, helping riders get into and out of a thicker cold-water wetsuit more easily.
This can be particularly useful when changing before or after a session in cold conditions.
Water_Gate Internal Barrier
ION incorporates an internal Water_Gate panel behind the zipper to help reduce the amount of water entering through the backzip area.
While no wetsuit can completely prevent all water movement, this additional barrier helps minimize flushing and supports better thermal performance.
Durable Seams and Reinforced Stress Points
A wetsuit designed for regular use needs more than warmth and stretch—it also needs durability. The ION Amaze Core 5/4 Backzip uses glued-blind stitching to help reduce water penetration through the seams.
The wetsuit also includes reinforced stress points to support long-term durability in areas that experience repeated stretching and movement.
Flexible seam taping is used in selected areas, including the knee and crotch zones, helping balance durability with mobility.
Durability Features Include:
- Glued-blind stitched seams
- Reinforced stress points
- Flexible seam reinforcement
- Robust construction for regular use
- Protective shin padding
Protective Shin Padding and Drain Holes
The ION Amaze Core Backzip includes thin protective padding at the shins. This extra protection can be useful when handling equipment or participating in watersports where the lower legs may occasionally come into contact with boards or gear.
The wetsuit also features reinforced drain holes at the legs. These help prevent excess water from building up inside the suit.
Leg straps are also available separately for riders who want additional security around the lower legs.
