From Manera
The Magma Hooded is the northern warriors' best friend. Featuring a 2mm windproof Magma hood attached to a 6.4mm Magma suit, you can hit the spot all year round even in the worst conditions. The Magma is built for the cold and windy winter days. The Magma+ is one of the best material out there. Not only does its fleece work as an effective insulator and heat generator, but it is also manufactured to be extremely flexible to keep even the thickest suit very stretchy. In addition, it dries 30% faster than a classic fleece. You’ll never have to put on a wet wetsuit again. It is the wetsuit of your choice if you don’t want to stay home during winter.
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.
A GOOD FIT MEANS EVERYTHING
- Warmth: No water entry, no air pocket.
- Durability: The neoprene is only stretched when moving.
- Comfort: No over tight areas, comfortable armpits/crotch.
- Style: Folds will never be fashionable.
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.
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.
Back knee emboss
The back of the knees is an area that requires specific care. The BACK KNEE EMBOSS helps the neoprene to bend more naturally for greater comfort during flexion of the knees.
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 leaky + 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). The SD² tape is then welded to the seam by an air heater machine. This innovative process brings more durability, waterproofness and flexibility to our wetsuits.
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.
Phantom straps
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.
