This multi-sport, thermal garment line uses the latest thermal technologies to provide comfortable, breathable, and flexible protection. The AQ-TEC thermal line combines Akona's experience with their well-known wetsuit technology, with Akona's passion for adventure in, on and under the water, to produce a truly versatile lightweight multi-piece system.

The secret is in how it's made. Outer Layer: Super Stretch Multidirectional Nylon (SSMN) fabric provides you with unlimited natural freedom of movement for any activity. The Nylon fibers provide significant durability over the standard neoprene material from daily use, abrasion and UV light. The nylon fibers are water resistant preventing water from adding weight to the garment.

Middle Layer: Microporous TPU Film (MTP) is breathable to allow moisture and air to wick away from your skin while wearing out of the water for additional comfort. The MTP layer is windproof, which prevents wind chill, and is water resistant preventing once again from adding weight to the garment.

Inner Layer: Made from an advanced technology Elastic Polyester 4-Way Stretch Fleece (EPSF). The EPSF is a lofted fiber structure which creates a thermal warmth from the water next to your skin to prevent the loss of body temperature and regulate core warmth. This polyester fleece is the best insulating material, which is also highly water resistant and durable. With the best feature of all is that it is soft to the touch and non-chafing adding hours and hours of enjoyment to all of your outdoor activities.

This multi-purpose vest is a great layering piece for any activity. Using the AQ-TEC thermal technology, this vest encompasses a full-front YKK salt-resistant zipper. This vest is ideal piece to wear on its own in warm water to prevent discomfort and provide protection from the elements or under any wetsuit. Designed for core warmth, seams are glued and sewn and for increased strength. With 50+ SPF UV protection, this piece is excellent for surfers, windsurfing, kayaking, free-diving and scuba diving. AQ-TEC patented 3-Ply layers are antimicrobial. Black in color and available in multiple sizes.
