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.
GLIDESKIN: The new AKONA glide-skin neck, wrist and ankle seals minimize water entry and flushing of the suit. The neck, wrists and ankles of these AKONA wetsuits are flush-cut for this purpose. The extremely slick surface and flexible properties of the glide-skinmaterial enable the wearer to enter and exit the suit with ease.
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 Quantum Stretch Womens 3MM Jumpsuit:
I recently purchased the wetsuit for a 5 day dive trip in the Florida Keys. I am glad I purchased this suit over a less expensive model. Due to its super stretchy material, the suit was relatively easy to put on and take off (compared to other 3mm wetsuits I have previously used) and is very comfortable in or out of the water. It keeps you warm and protected while diving a wreck at 100+ feet (although the average water temperature during my dive trip was around 80F). It also dries fairly quickly. The only con I have is that it is too long in the arms and legs, at least for me. Nonetheless, the suit was a good investment.
Service and delivery was excellent.

I was going to use it to dive. I liked the stretch but not the binding around the arms and neck. It was uncomfortably tight.

I love the ability to cut off sleeves and legs to customize the length. A great stretch wetsuit.

Zipper is tough to get started even though the wetsuit is not too tight.

I bought this suit for my wife who would not go in

She loves the wetsuit. Thanks !

I've owned several wetsuits over my diving years, but this is the best. It is well constructed, and easy to get into with the easy glide legs and arms. The neoprene feels just like butter, very soft and stretchy, not thick and hard like older cheap models. I heard that this suit was given top ratings by scuba lab, so I read their opinions, and they are right. I also used Leisure Pros PFF system...if it doesn't fit, you can send it back [...]
