ION Seek Amp 6/5 Backzip 2027 Wetsuit

Ready for any winter with ION

December, water around five degrees and a beach where you're the only one out. That's exactly why the ION Seek Amp 6/5 Backzip 2027 Wetsuit exists. With 6mm on your torso and 5mm on arms and legs this is the thickest wetsuit in the Amp line from ION, built for the months when most kiters have already packed their gear away. The 6/5 is your pick from roughly December to March, when the water creeps towards freezing and you don't want your session to end just because you're getting cold.

The biggest change from the 2025 version sits on your back. Where last year's Seek Amp 6/5 had Plasma Plush 2.0 on the back panel, you now get Graphene Plush 2.0. We know that lining from the Seek Select, ION's top model, and it delivers up to 20% more warmth than Plasma Plush 2.0. Your back is where you lose the most heat once the wind rips across your wet neoprene, and that's exactly where this version beats its predecessor. Added bonus: Graphene Plush 2.0 dries faster, so you're not stepping into an ice cold, clammy wetsuit the next morning.

In winter the backzip is a blessing. The zip runs the full width of your back, so even with stiff, cold fingers you just step in and pull the cord. No wrestling it over your shoulders like with a frontzip. Back on the beach you drop it halfway down just as quickly. You know the trade-off: a backzip lets in slightly more water than a frontzip in a hard crash. If getting in and out easily matters more to you than the last few percent of flush protection, this is your version.

On the outside you get the recycled Max_Flex lining, ION's stretchiest outer material. That's exactly what you need at 6/5mm, because thick neoprene can feel stiff in a hurry. Max_Flex doesn't absorb water but sheds it, so your wetsuit stays lighter during your session and dries faster on the line. If you want to really put in the hours during the coldest weeks, pair the 6/5 with a neoprene cap, gloves and surf shoes.

Looking for a wetsuit that gets you through the whole winter instead of calling it a day after half an hour? Then the ION Seek Amp 6/5 Backzip 2027 Wetsuit is a serious contender. Maximum insulation, a back panel that's a lot warmer than last year's and an entry you don't need help with.
