Akona Unisex Front Zip UV Protective Skin Suit

Quick answer: This is a piece of exposure protection from Akona.

Why it's worth a look

Exposure gear only works if it fits. Many brands run small and stop at XL or XXL, so check the full size range and compare your measurements, not your usual size.

Product details

No more neoprene sticking to your skin. UV protection (SPF50) Defend against sea lice, jellies, and other irritants Form fitting to reduce drag Full-front zipper closure Thumb loops and stirrups prevent suit riding up when worn under a wetsuit The Akona Unisex Front Zipper Skin Suit provides warm or cold-water protections. 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.
