We all know that there is a lot of quality difference between wetsuits. In addition, your body shape can also influence how well a specific wetsuit suits you. This makes it almost impossible to say what the best wetsuit is. ION recently released a new line of wetsuits. One of these labels ION itself as the warmest wetsuit ever made. In this wet suit blog we explain why.
Wetsuit with Nobel Prize winning graphene
A wetsuit in which graphene is processed is really an innovation in our opinion. Not because ION is the first wetsuit manufacturer to process graphene to make its warmest wetsuit ever. There are several brands that already use graphene in their wetsuits. For example, in 2019 Billabong launched a wetsuit that contains graphene.
Graphene is more than 200 times stronger than steel, an excellent thermal and electrical conductor, flexible, very thin and transparent. This makes it potentially suitable for a wide variety of applications.

Graphene is a panacea that we will hear a lot about. Precisely because the application possibilities have not all been figured out yet. Graphene ('Graphene') is a two-dimensional material that normally consists of a layer of carbon arranged on a grid with a honeycomb structure. It is apparently the lightest and thinnest material there is.
+ 20% heat, more flexible and dries 1.5 times faster
Graphene processed in a wetsuit at ION means that the polyester of the lining is coated with graphene. ION's warmest wetsuits ever, the ION Seek Select (gentlemen) and ION Amazon Select (ladies) are even fully equipped with graphene-coated polyester. This is quite unique and that is why the slogan 'Don't settle for less!' ION also claims that the wetsuit is 20% warmer, more flexible and dries one and a half times faster. Not bad promises as far as we are concerned.
