Manera Seafarer Shorty Hybrid FZ 3/2 Wetsuit-Black

From Manera

It’s very frustrating to be cold when riding in a warm place. That is why we designed our SEAFARER HYBRID to be warm. It is packed with the same technologies as the 3.2mm steamer: we basically just cut the legs.

The SEAFARER brings us back to the essentials of what makes a good wetsuit, nothing more, nothing less: warmth, stretch, durability. It's a no-bullshit wetsuit with MANERA’s renowned fit and construction.

If you are looking for a high-performance wetsuit at an affordable price, this is the right choice.

• SD2 TAPE 2.0




• This new stitching process brings more durability, waterproofness and flexibility to our wetsuits.

DESIGNED IN 3D

When the industry standard is to develop 2D patterns and try to fit it on a 3D body, we decided to break new ground and take the opposite direction. We use computer design to model good-fitted wetsuits in 3D, then we 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.

Sealing prints

Sealing prints make the ankles and wrists stiffer. It has a joint role that keeps the water away and maintains the arms and legs panels in place.

Strategic structure

Some areas are very sensitive to friction, tensions and tearing. All MANERA wetsuits have been designed with a demanding brief including:

• Avoiding seams in tensions area, to maximize flexibility and strength.


• Making sure the seams are stretched vertically and not sideways.


• Removing seams from friction areas, which avoids rash and increases stretch capacity.


• Reinforcing strategic parts and panels right where it needs to be.

Fusion cut

The different neoprene layers are fused on the tips of arms and legs to make it thinner and more aesthetic. It protects the inside neoprene foam (AIR FOAM) by covering it.

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 our wetsuits.

Triplex SEAFARER

The Triplex SEAFARER is designed to be reliable and efficient.

• Re-flex skin / Protection


• S-foam / Insulation
