DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Its place in the Seafarer range
For summer, Manera offers the men's Seafarer in three cuts: a 3.2 mm hybrid shorty with long sleeves and short legs, a 2.2 mm hybrid with short sleeves and long legs, and this 2.2 mm shorty with short sleeves and legs, which is the lightest of the three. We also carry the Seafarer Shorty Hybrid FZ 3.2 mm.
The shorty principle
Manera promises excellent freedom of movement while keeping your core body warm. This shorty uses the same technologies as the 2.2 mm hybrid, but with shortened sleeves and legs, making it perfect for summer sessions in warmer waters.
The front zip
Entry is through the chest, featuring a horizontal zip. Compared to a back zip, this design minimizes water entry, and the back remains entirely neoprene, ensuring maximum flexibility. Donning it requires a specific motion the first couple of times, but once you get the hang of it, you won't go back.
The Seafarer construction
The Seafarer is Manera's most direct range, focusing on warmth, comfort, and durability. It features SFOAM limestone-based foam, which Manera claims offers the best flexibility, warmth, and durability ratio on the market. The XTEND Fleece lining has loops that insulate and are quick-drying. The XTEND jersey is soft and lightweight. SD2 Tape seams are used on 100% of the fullsuit, with a 3D-designed pattern and a water strainer to drain any water that might enter. The SD2 Tape is a band applied to the inside of the fullsuit, over the seams, to ensure their watertightness and durability. For the Seafarer FW27, Manera states it's on 100% of the fullsuit. The water strainer expels any water that might have entered.
The 3D pattern
Manera designs its wetsuits in 3D on a body, then converts this model into a 2D pattern for the factory. This is the opposite of common practice, which starts from 2D. The brand expects a second-skin fit from this method. This means no water entry or air pockets, neoprene that only works during movement, and no tight areas around the armpits or crotch.
