ION Seek Amp: Unmatched Stretch for the Hardcore Rider
The ION Seek Amp 5/4 Front Zip represents the pinnacle of wetsuit engineering for men. At Infinity Sport Kitesurfing, we recommend the Seek Amp to riders who want a “second skin” feel. By utilizing ION’s most advanced materials, this suit eliminates the bulk usually associated with 5mm neoprene, providing the freedom of movement required for technical freestyle, wave riding, and long freeride sessions.
“The Seek Amp is a game-changer for UK winters. It’s the first 5/4mm I’ve worn that actually feels like a 3/2mm in terms of flexibility, but keeps me toasty at Jury’s Gap in January.” — Infinity Sport Team Rider.
Engineered for Greatstone & Winchelsea Conditions
Kiting at our local spots in Kent and Sussex requires gear that can handle the elements. The Seek Amp is built specifically for these challenges:
- Plasma_Plush 2.0 & Hot_Stuff 2.0: The interior is a powerhouse of heat retention. The high-pile “loops” in the fabric trap air to create an insulating layer, while the quick-dry properties ensure you aren’t putting on a heavy, soggy suit for your second session of the day at Winchelsea.
- Max_Flex Outside Lining: This rhomboid-shaped structure allows for incredible elastic elongation. For kitesurfers, this means zero resistance when reaching for your bar or throwing a backroll, significantly reducing shoulder fatigue during long sessions.
- I_Foam Insulation: ION uses a low-density foam enriched with limestone and recycled oyster shell powder. This makes the suit lighter and warmer than traditional petroleum-based neoprene while being much kinder to the environment.

Performance-Driven Design
Every detail of the Seek Amp is optimized for the water. The Sweep_Cut shoulder design removes seams from high-stress areas to prevent chafing and maximize paddle/reach reach. To prevent the dreaded “cold flush” during a crash at Jury’s Gap, the front zip entry is supported by a silicone Water_Barrier that seals the flap tight against the suit.

Sustainability: Riding for the Future
We care about our playgrounds. The Seek Amp is constructed using Eco-Carbon Black (pyrolyzed from scrap tires) and Aqua Alpha solvent-free glue. This reduces the CO2 footprint of your wetsuit by 200g, ensuring that our spots like Greatstone stay clean for the next generation of riders.
Local Fitting & Expert Advice
A high-end suit only works if the fit is perfect. If you are local to Kent or Sussex, we highly recommend visiting us at Infinity Sport Kitesurfing in Greatstone for a professional fitting. The Seek Amp has a very high stretch content, so getting the right size is essential to avoid water flushing.
