In 2006, ION developed a truely innovative feature, the ION Ballistic_Sole. It provides an unmatched protection against most sharp mussels, coral reef, sea urchins and other sharp objects. The Ballistic_Sole is equipped with an extra layer of highly tearing resistant ARMAMID protection fibres. These fibres are also used in bullet-proof vests for example. Compared to conventional neoprene boots the ION Ballistic_Sole provides superior protection against many sharp objects in the water. Although, like an airbag in a car accident, there cannot be a 100% guarantee not to get injured. But the Ballistic_Sole surely provides the best combination of protection and flexibility for your foot!
