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 3mm Quantum Stretch Suit 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 allow 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 Quantum Stretch 3mm Nylon-2 Jumpsuit has textured shoulders for added strength and protection from BCD wear and helps keep the BCD more firmly in place when diving. The suit's 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 suit's knees are reinforced with laminated knee pads to protect this high wear area. The suit is available in multiple sizes and is black in color.
