The Onyx Core Shorty is a wetsuit with a 2mm thickness and a snug fit design. This wetsuit features long sleeves and a zip located on the chest. The chest zipper effectively prevents water entry at the top of the suit, thereby minimising water flushes in the neck region.

An ideal warming aid for various watersport activities.

• Aqua-A

Aqua-A is a water-based, solvent-free adhesive utilised in all Ion wetsuits.

• Seam reinforcements

To enhance the durability of stress points within the wetsuit, Ion has incorporated Melco tape. Ion advises: “If you happen to leave the suit in the boot of your car on a hot day, the tape may begin to peel. Don't worry! Carefully press an iron over the affected section, as the adhesive is heat-activated.”

• Contour Cut

Wetsuits that follow the body's natural lines improve flexibility and comfort. All Ion wetsuits are designed with a contour cut.

• Drain Holes

Drain holes are integrated to prevent water retention in areas where fabrics overlap. These drain holes maintain their size and will not enlarge.

• Internal Key Pocket

Located inside the wetsuit is a water-resistant internal pocket for keys.

• GBS - Glued Blind Stitched

To effectively bond neoprene panels and achieve outstanding water resistance, a combination of glueing and blind stitch sewing is implemented to join the panels.

• Supra Tex

Specialised fabrics are employed for regions of the wetsuit that are more susceptible to wear - such as the knee areas. The Supra Tex fabric offers superior abrasion resistance.
