ION Products Amaze Core 4/3 Front Zip Wetsuit Women
When I first unboxed ION’s Amaze CORE 4/3 Front Zip, the very first thing I noticed was how incredibly soft it felt. It did not have that stiff, rubbery feel you sometimes get with thicker wetsuits. The colour immediately stood out too. The purple and lime green combo is bright, bold, and definitely a standout on the beach. What I...

ION Products Amaze Amp Hot Shorty 2.0 LS Front Zip
I’ve been riding in Soma Bay, Egypt, where it’s been a solid 30°C every day. I needed something light, comfortable, and protective that wouldn’t leave me roasting or covered in odd tan lines.

Unboxing the harness, the Scarlet Red colour immediately caught my attention. It’s different from the usual tones you’d see on the beach, but...
