The Surf Shield Series was developed to protect watersport athletes from sharp fins, foils, and reefs — without compromising on comfort or performance. Made with cut-resistant materials and tested to FIS-DITF standards, these boardshorts offer level 4 (out of 5) protection, acting as a low-profile yet highly effective layer against cuts and abrasions. The Wetshirt LS Surf Shield Unisex comes with a looser, causal fit that. The Slip_loop lets you connect the top to your shorts, so everything stays in place. On top, it offers reliable UV protection and adds another layer of defense – both in and our of the water. This ION watersports gear is a top choice for kitesurfing, wing foiling and surfing.

Fit & Sizing Advice
The Surf Shield Wetshirt is designed as a protective outer layer to be worn over your wetsuit, so it has a relaxed fit rather than a compression fit. It fits much more like normal clothing than a wetsuit or rash vest. As a guide, choose the size you would normally wear in a T-shirt. If you’re between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up to ensure it fits comfortably over your wetsuit.
