Sheet updated September 2026
The Manera MAGMA FZ 5.4,3 mm is Manera's 5.4,3 mm frontzip winter fullsuit. Manera designed it as the ultimate choice for staying on the water through winter, even on the coldest, windiest days. For 2026, the MAGMA line upgrades to OCENA, a bio-sourced, neoprene-free foam. It retains its MAGMA+ fleece. It now features ultra-stretch Squareflex jersey on the shoulders and arms. This fullsuit includes taped seams, 3D shaping, a key pocket, and a Water Strainer at the ankle. Available in twelve sizes, from XS to XXL, with short (s) and long (t) cuts, in black color.
KEY INFORMATION
MANERA MAGMA FZ 5.4,3 MM - Men's Winter Fullsuit
What we like
- OCENA neoprene-free foam: Manera replaces traditional neoprene with a bio-sourced foam. This innovative material uses natural rubber from FSC-certified forests near their Southeast Asian factory, blended with oyster shell powder and vegetable oil.
- MAGMA+ fleece: This fleece lining insulates and retains heat. It stays flexible, even in thicker fullsuits. Manera reports it's about 10% lighter and 30% faster at quick-drying than standard fleece (MAGMA FW27 technical documentation).
- Squareflex jersey: This ultra-stretch jersey is specifically placed on the shoulders and arms. These are the areas where your body moves the most when paddling, holding a bar, and putting on or taking off your fullsuit.
- Taped seams: The seams are covered with an internal tape. This blocks water entry. It reinforces high-stress areas.
- Frontzip: Entry is through the chest. The back is entirely made of foam for maximum flexibility. An internal key pocket with an elastic cord is located under the zip.
- Water Strainer: A perforated neoprene area at the ankle drains any water that gets into the leg. This means you don't have to stop your session.
- 3D patterning: The panels are designed in three dimensions before being laid flat. This ensures the fullsuit conforms perfectly to your body. It minimizes water entry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Its place in the MAGMA range
The MAGMA is Manera's go-to winter fullsuit. It is for cold and windy days. For 2026, the range sees significant upgrades, transitioning to OCENA neoprene-free foam and incorporating Squareflex jersey. The men's collection offers three frontzip models: the Hooded 6.4 mm with an integrated hood, the 5.4,3 mm, and the 4.3 mm. This particular model is the 5.4,3 mm, the thickest non-hooded option available in the GlissEvolution winter fullsuit catalog.
OCENA, the neoprene-free foam
OCENA is a bio-sourced foam. Manera crafts it from natural rubber sourced from FSC-certified forests near their Southeast Asian factory, enhanced with oyster shell powder and vegetable oil. The brand promises a material that maintains warmth, stretch, and durability. It also protects your skin from harsh chemicals. You wear and care for this fullsuit just like a traditional neoprene fullsuit.
MAGMA+ fleece and Squareflex jersey
Inside, the MAGMA+ fleece acts as both an insulator and a heat generator. It remains incredibly flexible. Even a thick fullsuit maintains its elasticity. According to Manera's MAGMA FW27 technical documentation, it's approximately 10% lighter and dries 30% faster than standard fleece. On the outside, the new ultra-stretch Squareflex jersey covers the shoulders and arms. These are the zones demanding the most freedom of movement.
Seams, pocket, and water drainage
The seams are internally taped. A band completely covers each seam, creating a waterproof barrier. It reinforces areas under the highest stress. A key pocket with an elastic cord is located inside, under the frontzip. The Water Strainer, a perforated neoprene area at the ankle, drains any water that enters the leg. The patterning is designed in 3D.

FAQ - MANERA MAGMA FZ 5.4,3 MM
This fullsuit is for the kitesurfer, wingfoiler, or surfer who rides through winter and wants Manera's warmest model. It's the thickest MAGMA without a hood. For an integrated hood and even more warmth, check out the Hooded 6.4 mm; for a lighter version, opt for the 4.3 mm.
Yes. For 2026, Manera replaced the neoprene in the entire MAGMA range with OCENA foam. This bio-sourced foam uses FSC-certified natural rubber, oyster shell powder, and vegetable oil. You wear and maintain it like a neoprene wetsuit.
The size guide above cross-references rider height and weight, based on the Manera FW27 chart. Twelve sizes are available, from XS to XXL, with short (s) and tall (t) cuts. The 't' sizes are longer, and 's' sizes are shorter. A wetsuit should fit snugly when dry. If it feels loose in the changing room, it will let water in when you are in the waves. If you have any doubts, call us with your measurements or visit the shop.
Both ranges share OCENA foam, Squareflex jersey, and 3D patterning. The MAGMA features MAGMA+ fleece, Manera's warmest lining, and is available up to 6/4 mm with a hood. The XTEND features the lighter XTEND Fleece lining and prioritizes freedom of movement. For winter, choose MAGMA. For those who prioritize lightness, choose XTEND.
We are a Kite, wing, and Surf shop in Pornichet, on the Atlantic coast. We wear Manera wetsuits on our local waters before recommending them. If you are unsure about a size or hesitate between two thicknesses, call us or visit the shop. The sizes are in stock.
