The Akona Men's AQ-Tec Shorts are high-performance, multi-sport thermal shorts engineered for watermen who require lightweight warmth, breathability, and maximum flexibility.
Moving away from standard, bulky neoprene, these shorts utilize Akona's advanced 3-ply textile laminate alongside strategic high-stretch panels.
They are the ideal choice for scuba diving, surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or staying comfortable during active surface intervals.
Introducing our revolutionary thermal protection garment line: AQ-TEC. This multi-sport, thermal garment line uses the latest thermal technologies to provide comfortable, breathable, and flexible protection. The AQ-TEC thermal line combines our experience with our well-known wetsuit technology, with our passion for adventure in, on, and under the water, to produce a truly versatile lightweight multi-piece system. Whether worn as stand-alone garments or used in combination with other pieces to achieve multiple combination possibilities, the AQ-TEC material is beyond diverse.
The Akona AQ-Tec Men's Shorts is designed for those of you who prefer a textile fabric over neoprene for all your water adventures. Created with the same three-layer materials used in the original AQ-TEC garments, the Akona AQ-Tec Men's Shorts will keep you warm and comfortable. Enhanced with high-stretch neoprene panels in specific locations to help with doing, dofing, comfort, and mobility.
Diver's Layering Tip: The AQ-Tec shorts are a highly versatile addition to your gear bag. Wear them as a standalone garment in tropical waters to protect against sun and board wax, or layer them underneath a standard wetsuit as a thermal base layer to significantly boost your core warmth in cold environments.
High-Stretch Neoprene Accents: Integrated with strategic neoprene panels in high-flex zones to enhance flexibility, making the shorts incredibly easy to don, doff, and move in during high-mobility sports.
Antimicrobial Barrier: Infused with a specialized defense treatment that prevents the buildup of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your gear fresh after long days of saltwater use.
50+ SPF UV Protection: Acts as a complete physical shield against harmful ultraviolet rays, protecting your upper legs during extended paddling sessions or hours spent on an open boat deck.
Anti-Chafe Comfort: The plush fleece lining prevents hot spots, rubbing, or skin chafing, allowing for hours of high-performance wear without irritation.
