Product Information
The Akona AQ-TEC Women's Long Sleeve (part number AQWT430) is a three-layer thermal top in black, built for women who dive, paddle and train in cool conditions and want thermal protection in a lightweight, multi-piece system. It combines a Super Stretch Multidirectional Nylon (SSMN) outer, a Microporous TPU Film (MPTU) middle layer and an Elastic Polyester 4-Way Stretch Fleece (EPSF) inner, and it is offered in seven sizes from 2XS to 2XL.
Who it is for
This top is for the multi-sport diver and outdoor athlete who moves between the water and the shore in a single day. Because the AQ-TEC line is engineered for adventure both in and out of the water, the long sleeve works as a stand-alone thermal layer or as one piece of a customized multi-piece system, so the same garment covers surface intervals, boat rides, paddling, hiking and cool-weather training.
Key details
- Outer SSMN: Super Stretch Multidirectional Nylon for unlimited natural freedom of movement, with greater durability than standard neoprene against daily use, abrasion and UV light, plus water resistance so the garment does not gain weight.
- Middle MPTU/MPT: Microporous TPU Film that is breathable, windproof and water-resistant, wicking moisture and air away from the skin while preventing wind chill.
- Inner EPSF: Elastic Polyester 4-Way Stretch Fleece with a lofted fiber structure that creates thermal warmth from the water next to the skin, regulates core temperature and stays soft and non-chafing.
Compatibility and sizing
Sizes run 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL and 2XL under SKUs AQWT430-2XS through AQWT430-2XL. The long sleeve can be worn as an individual piece or combined with other AQ-TEC pieces such as the vest, pants, shorts, full suit, hood, gloves and socks for layered protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Akona AQ-TEC Women's Long Sleeve come in?
It is offered in seven sizes: 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL and 2XL. The size SKUs run AQWT430-2XS, AQWT430-XS, AQWT430-SM, AQWT430-MD, AQWT430-LG, AQWT430-XL and AQWT430-2XL under the base part number AQWT430. If you plan to layer it with other AQ-TEC pieces, call 888-701-4017 and we can talk through your size.
Can the AQ-TEC Long Sleeve be worn on its own or does it need other layers?
It can be worn either way. Akona designed the AQ-TEC line as a multi-piece system, so the women's long sleeve works as an individual garment or combined with other AQ-TEC pieces such as the vest, pants, shorts, full suit, hood, gloves and socks for customized thermal protection in and out of the water.
What are the three layers in the AQ-TEC Long Sleeve and what does each one do?
The outer SSMN layer is Super Stretch Multidirectional Nylon for freedom of movement, durability against abrasion and UV light, and water resistance. The middle MPTU layer is a Microporous TPU Film that is breathable, windproof and water-resistant. The inner EPSF layer is Elastic Polyester 4-Way Stretch Fleece that creates thermal warmth and regulates core body temperature.
Is this top useful out of the water, or only for swimming and diving?
It is built for both. The AQ-TEC line is engineered for adventure in and out of the water, and the breathable Microporous TPU Film middle layer wicks moisture and air away from your skin while out of the water. That same layer is windproof to prevent wind chill, which helps on boat rides, surface intervals and cool-weather land activities.
