Manera MEN SEAFARER – FZ 3.2mm 2022 wetsuit

SEAFARER men's 3/2 mm, front zip — 2022 collection.

DESIGNED IN 3D
While the industry standard is to develop a 2D pattern and then try to fit it to a 3D body, we chose to innovate and change method. We use design software to model well-fitting suits in 3D, then an innovative program converts them into a precise 2D pattern for our factory. MANERA suits stand out thanks to that natural fit — like a second skin.

A GOOD FIT IS EVERYTHING
Warmth: no water flushing in, no air pockets.
Durability: the neoprene is only stretched when you move.
Comfort: no over-tight areas, no rubbing at the armpits or crotch.
Style: creases will never be fashionable.

Sealing prints
The sealing prints block water at the ankles and wrists and also hold the forearm and calf panels in place. They stay soft enough not to make the suit hard to put on or take off.

Strategic structure
Some areas of a wetsuit are especially exposed to friction, tension and tearing, which is why MANERA suits are designed to:
. avoid any seam in high-tension areas, which increases flexibility and durability
. make sure the seams are loaded vertically rather than horizontally
. remove any seam from friction areas, which prevents rubbing and improves flexibility
. reinforce areas and panels strategically

Fusion cut
The different neoprene layers are fused at the arms and legs, giving a thinner, better-looking finish. By wrapping it, this also protects the inner neoprene foam (AIR-FOAM).

SD2 tape 2.0
The neoprene panels are glued then blind-stitched (the needle does not go all the way through the neoprene), for more durability, better watertightness and more flexibility.
