ION: PROTECTION MEETS PROGRESSION 2026
The all-new ION collection is out now, built around a core principle where protection meets progression. The 2026 season introduces a bold new generation of gear engineered for those who live for outdoor action sports. Featuring cutting-edge materials, refined technologies, and fresh aesthetics across every category, the ION 2026 collection is designed to perform in the harshest conditions while standing out in every session.
“As a proudly European brand, ION thrives on the versatility of outdoor action sports. With a commitment to top-tier quality, cutting-edge design, and sustainable materials, we’re continuously redefining what performance can look and feel like.
Protection is ION’s core value. The 2026 spring/summer range introduces an entirely new generation of protection…including a fresh harness line-up with both technical refinements and bold colour updates across the men’s and women’s ranges. Each harness continues to rely on our trusted 3D Fit Technology, delivering consistent back protection.”….The ION Team
The Sun Pro Waterwear range introduces a fresh line-up of hats and caps built to shield you from intense sunlight. Meanwhile, the wind-resistant Storm Pro Waterwear series ensures facing the elements is no longer a challenge.
With the launch of a completely reengineered Core Travel Gear range, ION extends its commitment to safeguarding your equipment. From boards to hardware…this new generation of travel bags and board covers is engineered to withstand impact, pressure, and time.
Protect yourself from the ordinary. ION’s fresh Apparel range is built to make you stand out stylish before and after the session, on and off the beach, wherever the day takes you.
Every piece has been rethought from the ground up, shielding you from both the elements and the expected.
HARNESSES
The 2026 Curv Level harness series advances ION’s proven design language with an optimized shell that balances stiffness toward the sides for enhanced comfort and consistent support.
The trusted 3D Fit Technology remains at the core, ensuring reliable back protection without disrupting the familiar Curv feel.
Alongside this structural evolution, the entire 2026 harness range…men’s and women’s alike…receives a bold colour refresh. From subtle tones to high-impact statement hues, every model now offers expanded options for riders who want performance with personality. Technical progression, sharper aesthetics, one unified design approach across all collections.
PRO SERIES
Built to match ION’s mission to protect you against the elements, the new Sun Pro and Storm Pro Series are available as rash guards and wet-shirts for both men and women.

TRAVEL BAGS
The 2026 Core Travel Gear range pushes ION’s protection mission into smarter, lighter, and more sustainable territory. Every bag in the Core line is now built entirely from Waste2Wear® recycled materials, a fully circular fabric approach that transforms post-consumer material into durable performance textiles.

Beyond the sustainability leap, the range receives a series of product-specific technical upgrades across the line-up. From reinforced panelling to improved padding concepts and redesigned internal organization, each model has been fine-tuned to protect your gear with greater efficiency and less bulk.
ION Core boardbags are known for being extremely lightweight, helping you save crucial grams…and often fees — at the airport. And with an expanded selection covering every sport and every size, there’s a Core boardbag for every rider, every destination, and every adventure.
APPAREL
For 2026, the ION Apparel range evolves with a clear creative vision: gear that protects from the ordinary while inspiring expression on and off the beach. Built for riders, creators, and explorers, this collection blends function, aesthetic precision, and a bold mindset.
EXPLORE BEYOND.
Creativity ignites the spirit. It transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, revealing the vibrant tapestry of our imagination. As we embark on our journey this year, we embrace the notion that every creation is a celebration of individuality and innovation.
The exploration extends beyond physical boundaries, inviting us to delve into the realms of thought and inspiration. The Explore Beyond 2.0 collection puts the focus on the creative part of exploring. It’s designed to empower individuals to unleash their full potential. It encourages us to take risks, to experiment, and to weave our unique narratives into the fabric of existence.
The 2026 Apparel range brings this philosophy to life with pieces engineered for movement and expression stylish before the session, after the session, on the beach, off the beach. Apparel that doesn’t just protect you from the elements, but frees you to explore beyond every boundary.
