Brand: Akona
Located in: Exposure Protection, Wetsuits
With short sleeves and legs this extremely versatile 3mm nylon II neoprene suit offers superb mobility without sacrificing core warmth attributes. This suit utilizes flat-lock stitching throughout.

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 seal minimizes water entry and flushing of the suit. The neck of this AKONA wetsuit is flush-cut for this purpose. The arms and legs are finished with elastic binding for comfort.

Armholes are way too big. Not designed to keep out water. Had to return and buy a different brand.

It was great to find the large size quality suit at a reasonable price. It was comfortable and kept me warm while snorkeling in cool water. I would have preferred a front rather than a back zipper though.

Comments about Akona Akona 3MM Neoprene Mens Shorty:

I was very impressed as to how warm this made me feel while diving in 78 - 80 degree waters. It was easily packed and carried, and had no problems wearing it, I had lots of freedom unlike full wet suites. The only drawback I had was with the velcro closure at the back of the neck, you had to assure it was completely fastened or it would chafe the back of your neck.

While it feels a little short, I am 6'6" so I'm used to it. I love having the shorty for warm water, and it's also great for putting on over my full suit when it's really cold.
