Description Experience reliable comfort and performance in cooler conditions with the ION Element 4/3 Back Zip Wetsuit for Women — a versatile all-round suit designed for spring, early summer, and autumn sessions. Key Features & Benefits 4/3 mm Neoprene Construction – Offers a balanced mix of warmth and flexibility, perfect for water temperatures around 13°C to 18°C (56°F to 64°F). Hot_Stuff 2.0 Thermal Lining – Plush, stretchy thermo lining on the torso and back to trap heat and boost insulation without restricting movement. Silk_Stuff Upper Lining – Smooth, soft lining in shoulder and arm zones to reduce chafing and allow better stretch where you need it most. Back Zip Entry Water_Gate Panel – Easy rear entry combined with an internal neoprene flap (Water_Gate) that helps block cold water from flushing in through the zipper. Drain Holes, Seam Reinforcements & Detachable Leg Loops – Helps eliminate water build-up, strengthen stress zones, and prevent water ingress through leg openings (on some back zip Element models). Eco-Materials & Aqua Alpha Glue – Constructed from limestone neoprene and bonded with ION’s water-based Aqua Alpha glue (lower environmental impact). Why It’s a Great Choice The Element 4/3 Back Zip is ideal for riders wanting a dependable wetsuit for extended season use without stepping into the highest price tiers. It covers cooler to mild conditions well, offers smart technical features, and prioritizes comfort where it matters (shoulders, torso). The back zip design makes entry easier, while internal features like Water_Gate and drain holes help maintain dryness and comfort during longer sessions.
