Akona Unisex Front Zipper Skin Suit Medium Grey

A wetsuit works when a thin layer of water is trapped between the wetsuit and the skin. The body temperature of the diver heats this water creating a nice insulation from the colder surrounding water. A properly fitting wetsuit directly relates to the effectiveness of the insulation. Your wetsuit should fit snug and still allow a full range of motion. The Akona Unisex Front Zipper Skin Suit provides warm or cold-water protections. When worn in cold water as a 2nd layer of thermal protection under your wetsuit it will assists in donning your 3, 5, or 7mm suit. No more neoprene sticking to your skin.It also adds an additional layer of absorbent material which will decrease water exchange while you dive. This affect will keep you warmer longer and help increase bottom time. Worn as a standalone in warm water environments it will provide UV protection (SPF50), defend against sea lice, jellies, and other irritants and is form fitting to reduce drag. The front zipper closure makes for easy self-donning and doffing. The skin suit is also equipped with thumb loops and stirrups to prevent suit ride up when worn under a wetsuit. The Akona Unisex Front Zipper Skin Suit is available in multiple sizes and colors.
