Excellent fit for curvier gals

Excellent quality for the price and good fit for a shorter, curvier gal (I'm 5'6", 160lb, 38D and the size 13/14 fits me great with room for layering). I dithered for ages over whether to buy a 5mm or 7mm for a Galapagos liveaboard in March, but was very glad in the end to have gone with this option: the 7mm suits I tried all felt super restrictive whereas in this suit I felt like I had a good range of movement with scope to layer up for colder dives. I did most of the dives on the trip in this, with a hooded 5/3mm NeoSport vest underneath plus 5mm socks and Kevlar-coated work gloves and was perfectly cosy except for the handful of colder dives off Isabela and Fernadina where the water temperature at depth was around the 21C/69F mark , with some colder thermoclines - for those dives I just added a Lavacore full suit underneath and was snug as a bug in a rug.

Beautiful Wetsuit

Love this suit for Southern California diving. It is comfortable and warm enough for summer diving, and has beautiful accent colors.

Beautiful Wetsuit

By PAMELA S.

Love this suit for Southern California diving. It is comfortable and warm enough for summer diving, and has beautiful accent colors.

Akona understands the importance of reducing dependence on oil-derived chemicals. Akona's earth-friendly neoprene uses limestone that is over 99.7% calcium and does not rely on oil as extensively as petroleum-based neoprene. So, if you're environmentally conscious the Akona Quantum Stretch suit is for you!The new Akona 5mm Women's Full Wetsuit has been upgraded in every sense. Material, design, fit, fashion and comfort. The newer rubber has 25% more stretch than the previous version giving the wetsuit an even more comfortable and flexible fit.

The unique characteristics of the nylon weave combined with the super lightweight neoprene rubber allows Akona's Quantum Stretch suits extraordinary flexibility and stretch capabilities. Standard neoprene wetsuits stretch one way but not the other. This is a limitation of the laminated nylon material necessary to construct a durable wetsuit. Through years of research and engineering, Akona's neoprene experts have developed a four-way stretch nylon weave capable of withstanding the harsh elements of diving. The closely guarded, unique lamination process and a strategically designed pattern matched with lightweight, limestone-based neoprene is the science behind Akona Quantum Stretch wetsuits. The most comfortable and best fitting wetsuits in their class.

The Akona 5mm Women's Full Wetsuit has textured shoulders for added strength and protection from BCD wear and helps keep the BCD more firmly in place when diving. The suits seams are all glued and blind stitched for warmth while diving and durability. Rear durable YKK #10 brass zipper with pull tab leash allow easy self-donning and doffing. The suits knees are reinforced with a laminated knee pads to protect this high wear area. Suit is available in multiple sizes and is black in color.
