Product Information
The Akona AQ-Tec Women's Pants in black are 3-layer thermal protection bottoms built for multi-sport use in and out of the water, worn on their own or layered with other AQ-TEC pieces. The construction combines a Super Stretch Multidirectional Nylon (SSMN) outer, a windproof Microporous TPU Film (MTPU) middle layer and an Elastic Polyester 4-Way Stretch Fleece (EPSF) inner, and they are offered in sizes XS through 2XL.
Who it is for
These pants suit women who want lightweight, flexible warmth for aquatic and outdoor activity rather than a single-purpose wetsuit bottom. Because the AQ-TEC line is designed as a multi-piece system, they can be worn as a standalone layer or combined with other AQ-TEC garments for a layered setup. The breathable middle layer wicks moisture and air away from the skin while you are out of the water, so they stay comfortable between sessions, on the boat or on shore.
Key details
- Outer layer: SSMN nylon for multidirectional stretch, with durability against daily use, abrasion and UV light, plus water resistance so the garment does not gain weight.
- Middle layer: MTPU microporous film that is breathable, windproof and water-resistant.
- Inner layer: EPSF 4-way stretch fleece with a lofted fiber structure that creates thermal warmth, regulates core temperature and feels soft and non-chafing.
- Color: Black.
- Sizes: XS, SM, MD, LG, XL, 2XL.
Compatibility and sizing
Six sizes are published, XS through 2XL, with part numbers AQWP260-XS through AQWP260-2XL. The pants are designed to be worn individually or combined with other pieces in the AQ-TEC line for a versatile layering system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do the Akona AQ-Tec Women's Pants come in?
They are available in six sizes: XS, SM, MD, LG, XL and 2XL, under part numbers AQWP260-XS through AQWP260-2XL. The pants use a 4-way stretch fleece inner layer and a Super Stretch Multidirectional Nylon outer, so the fabric moves with you. If you are between sizes or unsure, call DiveCatalog at 888-701-4017 and we will help you choose.
Can these pants be worn with other AQ-TEC pieces?
Yes. The AQ-TEC line is designed as a multi-piece system, so the women's pants can be worn individually or combined with other AQ-TEC garments such as the women's long sleeve, shorts or full suit. That lets you add or remove layers depending on water temperature, conditions and the activity you are doing.
Are the AQ-Tec Women's Pants a wetsuit?
No. They are a 3-layer thermal protection garment rather than a neoprene wetsuit. The outer SSMN nylon is water-resistant and more resistant to abrasion and UV light than standard neoprene, the MTPU middle film is breathable and windproof, and the EPSF fleece inner creates warmth and helps regulate core body temperature.
What is included when I order?
The order includes the AQ-TEC Women's Pants only. Other AQ-TEC pieces, such as the long sleeve top, shorts or full suit, are sold separately so you can build the layering system you want. This listing offers the pants in black, and Akona publishes sizes XS through 2XL. Contact DiveCatalog if you need help matching pieces across the line.
