ZIPPER: YKK #10 brass zipper. Our unique zipper design utilizes dual rubber strips to additionally seal the zipper opening when closed, creating a water resistant closure. In addition, our low profile zipper flap folds over a closed zipper to further seal and secure the zipper in its closed position. The reinforced pull loop at the base of the zipper makes self-donning of the suit fast and easy
KNEE PADS: Our uniquely designed and stylistic knee pads provide exceptional grip and durability. Unlike the stiff rubber knee pads utilized on other suits today, our revolutionary AKONA knee pad material is fully flexible, and has a hydrodynamic low profile.
SHOULDERS: Our AKONA Grab Shoulder material provides superior wear and scuff protection. Designed to grip a buoyancy compensator to reduce shifting, the Grab Shoulders create a snug and movement-free fit. The unique pattern of the Grab Shoulder material also prevents excessive stretching of the suit when hung to dry.

Comments about Akona Akona Mens 3MM Jumpsuit:
Great suit for the money. Warmer water use is best but have used it along with a shorty when colder.

Comments about Akona Akona Mens 3MM Jumpsuit:
I used the product for snorkeling and diving. It's very comfortable, not too tight, it just fits me perfectly.
The delivery is always outstanding. Considering, I'm station here in overseas (Yokosuka, Japan), I would expect that it would take 3-6 weeks before I will receive the merchandize, but to my surprise, it came in earlier as expected. All of the products I received were all well packed. When I have to return one merchandize (ordered wrong size) for an even exhange, the agent was very professional. I received the replacement at a very, very short wait time.

Comments about Akona Akona Mens 3MM Jumpsuit:
Okay, the deal leisurepro was offering on this suit was so good, I bought a second one! I originally complained about the zipper catching on the smooth skin flap, but I tried glueing seam tape on the flap under the zipper and it solved the problem. The suit fits great. For the price, you can't go wrong. If you don't have someone to zip if for you, then get some seam tape and glue a strip under the zipper. The strips are less than one inch wide, but as long as it's under the zipper teeth, it does the job. And using only one piece of seam tape leaves the rest of the smooth sided flap to do it's job of sealing tight under the zipper so little water will penetrate.

Good for a basic 3mm suit. Nothing to write home about but not much to complain about either.

Comments about Akona Akona Mens 3MM Jumpsuit:
This is my 2nd Akona fullsuit. I love their line. The only difference in this suit and my older one is the neck, ankle, and wrists on this one do NOT have the smooth skin inside - I kind of like that better. [...]

Comments about Akona Akona Mens 3MM Jumpsuit:
The only reason I rated this suit hard to get on is the zipper lining which tends to catch the zipper because they used smooth sided neoprene here. This strip of lining is the only part of the suit that is does not have cloth on both sides. I can get in the suit by myself only with great difficulty. I'm going to try putting seam tape on the zipper liner to fix that. I wish I had read the other reviewer before I got this suit. Akona....WAKE UP!!!

Comments about Akona Akona Mens 3MM Jumpsuit:
This is a good suit for the money but it could be improved by changing the zipper flap. The current flap is raw neoprene rubber and tends to catch the zipper when you raise it. You have to ask someone to zip you. I hate that. A slick cloth facing on the flap would be a big improvement.
