At a Glance
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. When I heard I was testing ION’s Amaze Amp Hot Shorty 2.0 LS, I knew it would be exactly what I was looking for. This long-sleeve shorty feels like it was made for this kind of riding. It’s flexible in all the right places, doesn’t ride up, and dries incredibly fast between sessions. The boy-leg cut stays put, and the long sleeves gave me peace of mind riding all day under the sun.
On the Water
From the first session, I felt the difference. The suit is made from natural rubber neoprene, so it’s softer and stretchier than many other suits I’ve tried in the past. The Hot_Stuff 2.0 lining in the front keeps it warm enough when the wind picks up, and the Plasma_Plush 2.0 on the back dries so quickly that I barely noticed I’d just come out of the water. I’ve been in and out of it all day, and it’s super easy to put on and take off, even when it’s not totally dry. I was really impressed by how nothing rode up or got annoying, even during wipeouts. It gave me full freedom to move and just enjoy being on the water.
Overall
This suit really ticks all the boxes for the summer months. It’s protective but light, technical but comfy, and it’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design. From recycled materials to fused edges and reinforced seams, you can tell it’s made to last. Whether you’re kiting, winging, or just playing around, this suit makes you feel ready for anything. It’s officially my go-to for warm water sessions now!
