This variable 6.5mm wetsuit system can be tailored to meet your changing temperature requirements. The top and bottom components can be worn together in cold water environments, or individually in warmer conditions.
ZIPPER
YKK #10 brass zipper for superior corrosion resistance. Full-length zipper flap minimizes water entry.
GLIDESKIN:
The new AKONA glide-skin neck, wrist and ankle seals minimize water entry and flushing of the suit. The wrists and ankles of these AKONA wetsuits are flush-cut for this purpose. The extremely slick surface and flexible properties of the glide-skin material 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, ourrevolutionary 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.

I will use this wetsuit for sailing (protection for a capsize)
