Manera Classic 3/2 Back-Zip Wetsuit

C-Foam Neoprene
Made from limestone, the reliable C-Foam neoprene offers optimal warmth-stretch-performance ratio.

XTEND Fleece
The XTEND fleece offers good thermal insulation in all areas where it is strategically placed, and benefits from one of the best drying time on the market. It is lighter than a classic fleece, which provides a perfect balance of flexibility and lightness, keeping you warm without weighing you down.

Classic Jersey
Assembled with recycled nylon, the inside jersey is a key part of the wetsuit, being in direct contact with the skin. Their jersey fabric not only provides maximum stretch and lightness, but also a smooth, silky feeling on the skin.

Back Zip
Manera uses a PK high quality nylon zip, in order to maximize the back flexibility. An inside flap covers the back and goes around the neck, it protects the back from the outside zipper and allows a perfect waterproofness.

Strategic Structure

Some areas are very sensitive to frictions, tensions and tears. All Manera wetsuits have been designed with a demanding brief including:

• Avoiding seams in tension areas to maximize flexibility and strength.
• Making sure the seams are stretched vertically and not sideways.
• Removing seams from friction areas to avoid rashes and increase stretch capacity.
• Reinforcing strategic parts and panels right where it needs to be.

Reinforcement Patches
High durable reinforcement patches are placed in the critical junctions of multiple seams around the suit to avoid leaking and to keep it flexible.

Water Strainer
A Wetsuit leg filled up with water is a very uncomfortable issue: The Manera water strainer panel is here to prevent it. The perforated neoprene drains the water out of your leg instantly to let you continue the session in the best possible conditions.

SD² Tape 2.0
The neoprene layers are glued together and then "blind-stitched" (the needle does not go through the neoprene layer completely). Then the SD² tape is welded to the seam by an air heater machine. This innovative process brings more durability, waterproofness and flexibility to their wetsuits.

Designed in 3D
When the industry standard is to develop 2D patterns and try to fit it on a 3D body, Manera decided to break new ground and take the opposite direction. They use a computer design to model good-fitted wetsuits in 3D, then they employ an innovative software that converts it into a precise 2D pattern for the factory.

It creates a natural, second-skin fit that makes the Manera wetsuits stand out. Manera wetsuits use a new process to bring more durability, waterproofness and flexibility.
