What is the difference between inside linings?Updated a year ago
This part's pretty crucial for comfort and performance in the water. Now, most wetsuits these days come with some kind of lining on the inside. The key purpose is to increase warmth by trapping air in the wool-like structure, creating an insulation layer. Another big plus is comfort. It helps reduce friction between your skin and the neoprene, so you can move freely and comfortably without feeling like you're getting hugged by a clingy wetsuit.
ION offers different variations of inside linings:
Graphene_Plush
Premium lining with maximum warmth.
Graphene is an extremely light, super strong material that's all about conducting heat like a champ. The yarn of the lining is coated 100% with a Graphene layer which distributes warmth from the core to your arms & legs. Plus, it's got this neat feature where it dries super fast, so your wetsuit stays comfy and cozy all day long.
Plasma_Plush 2.0
This premium lining is designed to offer top-notch heat retention and flexibility. The high pile fabric traps air effectively, providing snug warmth and insulation while you're out on the waves. Additionally, its vertically aligned channel structure efficiently transports moisture away, ensuring your suit dries quickly after your break between sessions.
Plasma_Plush
With its looped structure, the Plasma_Plush inner lining effectively traps more air. This creates an insulating layer that enhances warmth and provides plushy comfort for an all-around cozy feel.
Hot_stuff 2.0
Hot_Stuff 2.0 boasts an even plusher feel, thanks to its larger loops that effectively trap more air for enhanced heat insulation. It stands out as the stretchiest thermo lining in ION's entire range.
Silk_Stuff
This smooth inside lining comes without insulation features but offers a comfortable feel against bare skin. Despite its cozy appearance, it's surprisingly hardcore in terms of its superb flexibility and performance.
