The Aqua Lung Men's 8/7mm Solaflex Hooded Wetsuit (formerly SolaFx) is Aqua Lung's most advanced semi-dry cold-water wetsuit.
Engineered for extreme thermal insulation, it pairs an 8mm neoprene torso with 7mm limbs, an integrated hood, and a internal water dam system to bridge the gap between a traditional wetsuit and a drysuit.
The fans of the SolaFx will not be disappointed by the new Solaflex.
The Solaflex remains Aqualung's most advanced wetsuit by keeping the previous unique features and fit, and by improving the warmth.
In addition to its 8mm torso and 7mm arms and legs, this new updated version incorporates a fleece liner to provide extra warmth.
As with all Aqualung's wetsuits, it has environmentally-friendly features, such as non-P.A.H. (Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons) neoprene.
Unique designs are specially tailored for men and women.

Feel & Fit
No Restrictive Edge Tape
Because traditional edge tape at the ankles and wrists kills the stretch on most wetsuits, Aqualung has removed it. But instead of leaving the edge raw, they've fused it with their unique X-Tend cuff finish that preserves the stretch and has a polished look that is also extremely durable
Sculpted Silhouette
Sleeves and legs are cut to mirror a gentle, natural flexion in the elbows and knees. This reduces bunching material at the joints, helping you move more effortlessly and comfortably
Powertex Kneepads
How can Aqualung provide durable abrasion resistance without sacrificing stretch? Aqualung's Powertex kneepad material is tough, yet highly flexible
Non-Snag Material
The tight weave of the outer nylon material is resistant to abrasions and Self-Securing Closure snags. Looking good may not be on your dive checklist, but it doesn't hurt
Easy on Skin
The inner material is ultra-soft, making it easier to put on and take off the suit
Warmth & Protection
Thicker Core
The thickest layer of material is used for the core of your body, concentrating warmth where you need it most
Enhanced Seam Durability
Aqualung's Liquid Fusion seam technology uses reinforcing patches on the inside of seam junctions to enhance the durability and integrity of seams
Hood Designed for Scuba
G2 vent technology in the hood allows any trapped bubbles from your regulator to escape while keeping cold water out
Water-Resistant Zipper
Designed to keep you warm and dry, the "Plasmaloc" zipper on the chest has tight tolerances and a unique integrated tooth design for water resistance that is superior to most other brands
Upper-Body Water Dam
The neck and shoulders are protected by an additional layer of material that covers the zipper to minimize water exchange
No-Slip Shoulders and Back Pad
Silicone pads on the shoulders keep your BCD shoulder straps in place and minimize wear from abrasion in that area. The back pad helps keep the suit tight so that water does not enter at the back of your neck
Specialized Seals
"Skin-In" gasket seals in the forearms and calves minimize water entry through the sleeves and legs
Environmentally Conscious
Improved for the Environment
The SolaFlex's neoprene is free of PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) and made from a non-petroleum-based material
Targeted Thermal Thickness (8/7mm): Features 8mm super-stretch neoprene focused around the body core for maximum heat retention, blended with 7mm neoprene along the arms and legs for unhindered mobility underwater.
Integrated Hood with G2 Vent Technology: Outfitted with an attached hood that eliminates neck flushing, complete with G2 valve technology that lets trapped regulator exhaust air escape while blocking cold ambient water entry.
Internal Water Dam & Chest Zip: Utilizes a water-resistant, across-the-chest "Plasmaloc" front zipper backed by an internal neoprene neck and shoulder water dam to block water exchange and keep your core dry.
Liquid Fusion Seam Technology: Constructed with triple-glued and blind-stitched (GBS) seams reinforced with liquid seam seals, preventing water leakage through stitch holes and drastically extending suit longevity.
Ultra-Soft Thermal Fleece Interior: Lined with an ultra-soft fleece layer that captures body heat, speeds up drying between dives, and allows the suit to slide smoothly over the skin when donning and doffing.
X-Tend & Canadian Cuff Finish: Eliminates restrictive edge tape on wrist and ankle cuffs, replacing it with fused X-Tend seals and internal gasket cuffs to stop water flushing without restricting stretch.
Powertex Knee & Non-Slip Shoulder Pads: Reinforced with flexible Powertex knee pads for abrasion defense on rough entries, along with silicone shoulder prints to prevent BCD harness slippage.
Thickness: 8mm torso core / 7mm arms and legs.
Neoprene: Eco-friendly, non-petroleum based, PAH-free super-stretch neoprene.
Zipper System: Across-the-chest horizontal water-resistant zip.
Seam Construction: Glued, blind-stitched, and liquid fusion sealed.
Anatomical Cut: Pre-bent arms and legs (sculpted silhouette) to reduce material bunching at elbow and knee joints.
