The X10D fleece offers good thermal insulation all around the chest. Its thousands of tiny loops trap the heat of your body and create a barrier against the cold outside. In addition, it is 22% lighter than a classic jersey, which provides a great comfort/lightness once on the water.
Being in direct contact with the skin, the inside jersey is a key part of the wetsuit. Manera's X10D fabric not only provides maximum stretch and lightness, but also a smooth, silky feeling on the skin.
S-foam is a made from Limestone. It delivers the essentials with a great flexibility - heat - durability ratio.
Manera have chosen to use a very light neoprene foam as we believe having less weight means improved comfort & endurance. It also features the best flex & insulation of the market, with the quilted touch you love in a Manera suit.
Some areas are very sensitive to friction, tensions and tearing. All Manera wetsuits have been designed with a demanding brief including voiding 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.
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.
The neoprene layers are glued together and then "blind-stitched" (the needle does not go through the neoprene layer completely). In addition to being 100% waterproof, this type of stitching offers a high level of flexibility.
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.
If the water strainer panel is still not enough for you: The Manera ankle straps are designed to be very thin so water sprays can’t take them off. They are also stiff enough to block the water from coming in, and light for a better comfort.
