- SSMN Outer Layer – Super Stretch Multidirectional Nylon (SSMN) fabric provides you with unlimited natural freedom of movement for any activity. The Nylon fibers offer significant durability over standard neoprene material from daily use, abrasion, and UV light. The Nylon fibers are water-resistant, preventing water from adding weight to the garment.
- MPTU Middle Layer – Microporous TPU Film (MTPU) is breathable, allowing moisture and air to wick away from your skin while wearing out of the water for additional comfort. The MPT layer is windproof, which prevents wind chill, and is water-resistant, preventing weight gain from water.
- EPSF Inner Layer – Made from an advanced technology Elastic Polyester 4-Way Stretch Fleece (EPSF). The EPSF features a lofted fiber structure that creates thermal warmth from the water next to your skin to prevent the loss of body temperature and regulate core warmth. This Polyester Fleece is highly water-resistant, durable, and soft to the touch, providing non-chafing comfort and adding hours of enjoyment to all of your outdoor activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do the Akona AQ-TEC Women's Shorts come in?
They are offered in six sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL and 2XL. Each size has its own part number in the AQSH210 family, running AQSH210-XS, AQSH210-SM, AQSH210-MD, AQSH210-LG, AQSH210-XL and AQSH210-2XL. If you are between sizes or plan to layer the shorts with other AQ-TEC pieces, call 888-701-4017 and we will help you pick.
Can the AQ-TEC Women's Shorts be worn with other AQ-TEC pieces?
Yes. The shorts are designed to function as a stand-alone garment or as part of Akona's AQ-TEC multi-piece layering system. They can be combined with the Women's AQ-TEC Long Sleeve, Women's AQ-TEC Pants, Women's AQ-TEC Full Suit, AQ-TEC Hood and AQ-TEC Gloves to build the coverage you want for a given activity.
How do these shorts keep you warm compared to neoprene?
Warmth comes from the EPSF inner layer, an Elastic Polyester 4-Way Stretch Fleece with a lofted fiber structure that creates thermal warmth and helps regulate core temperature. The middle Microporous TPU Film is windproof to stop wind chill, and the SSMN nylon outer layer offers more durability than standard neoprene against abrasion and UV light while resisting water weight gain.
Are the AQ-TEC Women's Shorts only for diving?
No. Akona built the AQ-TEC line as a multi-sport thermal system intended for use in, on or under the water. The shorts are lightweight and flexible, the nylon outer layer is water-resistant so it does not add weight, and the TPU middle layer is breathable for comfort when worn out of the water, which makes them useful for topside and outdoor activities too.
