Akona Brand Wetsuits, . . . Opinions wanted. . - Eino Maki - 05-15-2004
I want to get a 7mm suit. My dive shop has a Henderson that looks nice but it is almost 500 bucks, with tax. On Ebay, there are 7mm Akonas for the "Buy It Now" price of $182. Have any of you used the Akona brand? How does the quality and value compare to others you have used? The price seems right, but will I wish I had spent a little more to get a different brand?
Thanks,
Jeff

We sell and use Akona wet suits up to XL we sell for $182.00 These are farmer johns. The one piece jump are a little more, just over $200.00. We have sold and used for 8 + years now they have been real good suits but there isn't much choice on colors. There boots have been real good. They hold together very well I do a lot of training so I am in colrine a lot and the only thing like any suit they fade out The ones I use in open water still look great. If color selection isn't a problem I would recommend the Akona.
