AKONA 2MM UNISEX HOODED VEST WITH RIGHT SIDE ZIPPER

The Akona 2mm Unisex Hooded Vest with Right-Side Zipper is an innovative thermal core layer that solves the single biggest complaint about traditional dive vests: the struggle of getting them on and off.

By pairing a high-grade 2mm neoprene build with a clever, full-length side entry, this vest eliminates the awkward squeezing and pulling of standard undersuits while delivering exceptional warmth for your core and head.

Eliminate the inconvenience of tight squeezes with our strategically placed zipper running from under the right arm to the waist.

Featuring a quick-drying smoothskin on the inner surface and an all-Delrin zipper resistant to corrosion, our 2mm Hooded Vest ensures seamless functionality.

Perfect as additional insulation or as a standalone protective layer, offering convenience and adaptability for various usage scenarios.

This new Akona Hooded Vest design provides all the comfort and warmth of a hooded vest without the usual hassle of squeezing yourself in and out of it, thanks to a zipper from under the right arm to the waist. Made of 2mm neoprene with quick-drying smooth skin on the inner surface, it has a corrosion-proof all-Delrin zipper. Ideal for use as extra insulation under another suit, or as standalone protection. YKK #5 Zipper travels the entire length of the torso. The vest opens up like a jacket. Easy to don and doff. Unlike other hooded vests, which can be very challenging. 2mm chest and hood. Great for warm waters alone or as an underlayer in colder waters. The Akona 2mm Hooded Vest with Full Side Zipper has sewn seams, is black in color, and available in multiple sizes.

Diver's Layering Tip: Traditional hooded vests can feel incredibly restrictive around the neck and throat because you have to pull them over your head like a tight sweater. With this right-side zipper design, you can leave the zipper undone while setting up your gear on a hot boat deck, then simply slip it on and zip it up right before making your splash to stay perfectly cool and comfortable.

FEATURES:

Innovative Right-Side Zipper Entry: Features a heavy-duty zipper running from right under the right arm down to the waist hemline. This allows the vest to open up completely like a jacket, making donning and doffing incredibly smooth and fast.
Corrosion-Proof YKK #5 Delrin Zipper: Outfitted with a marine-grade, salt-resistant Delrin zipper. It ensures smooth tracking and complete reliability even after extensive exposure to harsh saltwater environments.
2mm Lightweight Core Insulation: Engineered with a uniform 2mm limestone-based neoprene across the chest, back, and integrated hood. This provides the perfect thermal boost for warm to temperate waters without adding excess bulk or impacting your buoyancy control.
Inner Smoothskin Surface: The interior lining features a quick-drying smoothskin texture. This specialized material lays flush against your skin or underlying rash guard, acting as a highly effective barrier that minimizes water movement inside the vest to lock in body heat.
Integrated Ergo-Hood: The built-in hood reduces critical heat loss from the head and neck. It seals comfortably around the face to block cold water flushing while sliding easily underneath a primary full wetsuit.
Sleeveless Layering Freedom: Designed with wide, flexible armholes to ensure completely unrestricted shoulder mobility. This makes it an exceptional base layer under another wetsuit in colder water, or an ideal standalone piece for tropical diving and snorkeling.
