ION’s new campaign: EXTEND THE GOOD TIMES rolls out this week with an in depth guide of each product soon to come. Let’s take a look at their new collection – protection engineered with purpose.
The ocean doesn’t wait. The wind doesn’t ask. The sun doesn’t care. Out there, the elements are wild, untamed, and unapologetic.
In the chaos, we find clarity. In the challenge, we find ourselves.
Protection isn’t about hiding from the elements—it’s about facing them head-on. It’s about creating a space where fear fades and freedom begins.
Since the beginning, protection has been central to the ION approach. Years of technical engineering, persistent refinement, and an uncompromising relationship with the elements have created a legacy where protection is never accidental.
When you feel safe, you stop holding back. You push harder. You stay out longer. You turn limits into possibilities.
Extend the good times.
The Surf Shield Series is built for riders who demand serious protection without sacrificing performance. Designed primarily for foilers across every discipline — wing, prone, kite, windsurf, pump foil, and e‑foiling — this range delivers confidence no matter how you ride. Rated at Level 4 out of 5 in cut resistance, it sets a new benchmark on the market.
Crafted from premium materials and engineered for the specific needs of watersport athletes, these styles go beyond standard protection. The Sun Pro Series offers reliable UV defense, making it your go‑to for sun‑drenched sessions on the beach or in the water. The Storm Pro Series shields you from windchill and unpredictable coastal weather, keeping you warm and protected when conditions get rough.
The Slash Helmet Series is equipped with the advanced 360° Fit System, delivering a snug, secure fit straight out of the box. With weight‑optimized yet robust construction and comfortable internal padding, the Slash helmets are built for wing foiling, wake sessions, kite loops, and everything in between. All ION helmets are multi‑impact compliant and CE‑certified, so you can push with confidence.
Impact vests left the beginner zone long ago. Today, they’re worn by pros across every watersport discipline — not out of fear, but out of respect for progression. Thanks to intricate panel layouts and refined designs, modern impact vests deliver serious protection without the bulky feel of traditional life vests. Slimmer, more flexible, and built to move with you, they’re made for riders who push their limits.
