Aaron Hadlow – Favorite ION products

CS Hadlow – Harness

The Composite Series represents finely tuned accessories for kiteboarders of all levels. 5 x World Champion Aaron Hadlow swears by these inventions to perfectly support his powerful style. New technologies such as the Composite Anatomic Flex Blade, Archbar and Hyperfoam have been developed for pros and amateurs alike to achieve peak performance. Radical moves need radical design.

Ion Windbreaker Zip Top

Some of the features that make the ION Windbreaker top choice for Aaron Hadlow

  • All ION Rashguards, Wetshirts, Thermo tops and Neo tops are equipped with a fine webbed loop designed to tie to the laces of boardshorts and prevent the garment from riding up.
  • flexible, non-irritating seams
  • Seam-free shoulder construction
  • A small webbing loop on the neck of ION wetsuits and tops to attach the safety line of ION sunglasses.


and of course the Icon sunglasses by ION… Lightweight, highly flexible, tough and shatterproof!

Up next we’ve decided to check out what Airton Cozzolino’s top ION product wear…

Madtrixx – Harness

The name says it all, just check out Airton Cozzolino! The MADTRIXX is extremely popular with wave fanatics all around the planet. The innovative Archbar in combination with ION’s sophisticated slick edge keeps the harness nicely in place and prevents it from riding up during epic wave sessions. The refined neo belt allows for huge freedom of movement, whilst the cross-link feature ensures a comfortable and effective load distribution across the back.

Airton also favors his Strike AMP Semidry Zipless ION Wetsuit

Two years ago ION developed a brand-new design concept for getting into the no zip wetsuits which is still absolutely unique in the industry. In 2018 the Strike AMP no zip starts its second season, offering our Strike customers a fully double lined version of the Strike Amp and all its features yet without any zip for maximum freedom of movement.

ION Neo Zip Tip Men

The ION NEO TOPS are a must-have for every watersports nut hitting the sea or surf in milder climates. Although mainly used in warmer waters to keep the sun and wind off the skin, they can also be used as a second layer underneath your wetsuit. Thanks to the plush, wool-like hot stuff lining, these tops have a luxurious texture that feels great, even on bare skin! The NEO TOPS have a more detailed and technical construction than that of the standard Rashguard, providing 100% UV protection, efficient heat retention and a reduction in irritations and bruising often caused by the harness or surfboard.

Let’s check out what Craig Cunningham is favoring from the ION products this year…

Hummer Harness

After years of innovative evolution and continuous improvement, the Hummer maintains its legendary status as an absolutely outstanding performer. Offering superb freedom of movement, great support, and features such as the extremely cushy Hyperfoam and the neo belt in combination with ION’s extra support concept (3D Contour Shape Plus), this harness reflects the style of Craig Cunningham.

The Strike Select Semidry 5,5/4,5

The main feature of the SELECT line is warmth! For 2018 we extended ION’s toasty warm Plasma Plush into the lower legs, making the new collection even warmer. The quick-dry characteristics of the Plasma Plush prevent water from accumulating at the very end of the legs whilst hanging up to dry and any consequent stretching of the material over time.

Coleen Carroll’s favorite ION products

The Sol Harness

The Sol is the perfect companion for women who love to rip in freestyle like Colleen Carroll. The neo belt creates a smooth transition between the belt and the main body of the harness. In addition, this year ION further enhanced the freedom of movement. Delivering a perfect fit with even more support, extremely stylish, sophisticated and specialized, the SOL is Colleen’s ultimate accessory.

Muse Hot Shorty 1,5

Temperatures are rising ladies and we’ve got a smoking hot surprise for you! Introducing our cute collection of shorties that combine sophistication with a little bit of cheekiness. Choose from three designs to complement your style, and check out the innovative zipless option. The MUSE is a must-have for any water babe’s action-packed outings!

Neo Top 2/1

The ION neo tops are a must-have for every watersports nut hitting the sea or surf in milder climates. Although mainly used in warmer waters to keep the sun and wind off the skin, they can also be used as a second layer underneath your wetsuit. Thanks to the plush, wool-like Hot Stuff lining, these tops have a luxurious texture that feels great, even on bare skin! The NEO TOPS have a more detailed and technical construction than that of the standard Rashguard, providing 100% UV protection, efficient heat retention and a reduction in irritations and bruising often caused by the harness or surfboard.

Paula Novotná’s favorite ION products

The Nova Select Harness

The Nova Select is our pride and joy of the women’s range. Incorporating high-tech features, it is easy to use and offers amazing support. The wire tech combined with the new Archbar and Hyperfoam disperses direct pressure points and keeps the Harness in place. The X Spine has been reworked to complement its overall function, and the newly reduced upper back outline was designed specifically for women.
