Overview
The Aqualung 5mm Echozip Boots are recreational diving boots designed to provide warmth, comfort, and protection in a variety of diving conditions. A 5 mm neoprene upper provides thermal insulation, while Aqualung’s anatomically shaped ERGO footbed and outsole are designed to follow the natural profile of the foot for comfortable support and reduced excess water retention.
An 8 mm treaded sole helps protect the feet when walking over uneven or potentially hazardous terrain. The boot uses a minimal number of strategically placed seams to reduce chafing, while a heavy-duty non-corrosive 10 YKK zipper provides a durable, convenient closure.
