The ION Seek Core 4/3 Front Zip is a reliable, flexible wetsuit that delivers warmth, comfort, and performance at a really fair price. Unboxing the wetsuit, I was surprised at how soft it was.

Built around the same proven five-strut platform, this version introduces a lighter, stiffer airframe using HT140 material in the leading edge.

Key to that is the use of HT140 material in the leading edge, combined...
