This is the new lightweight waterproof and breathable material from ION apparently. What I'm most concerned about are the Neoprene cuffs! How is it performing in stronger winds and jumping/swimming in this suit?
Thanks for your two cents!

Re: ION Fuse Lightweight Drysuit FZ 2021
I have used it a few times and absolutely nothing bad to say. Few hours on practicing ducktacks, backroll turns etc. with a foil = many many many falls and endless body drags and still super happy about it. If you do a hard face first slam might get a bit water in but I had no problem what so ever.
And getting into the suit is just genious!
OK I deal with these suits so I guess I am biased but still happy about it

Thank you guys for the info! I have just ordered mine so hopefully I can test it too as well.
harppa, how is it to wear your harness on top of all the clothing you wear under the drysuit?
