KEY INFORMATION
MANERA XTEND FZ 4.3 MM - Men's fullsuit
What we like
- OCENA neoprene-free foam: For 2026, the XTEND transitions to Manera's bio-sourced foam. This material is made from natural rubber from FSC-certified forests, oyster shell powder, and vegetable oil.
- XTEND Fleece lining: Manera describes this as the perfect balance of flexibility and lightness. It keeps you warm without weighing down your shoulders, and it features the brand's fastest drying time.
- Squareflex jersey: This ultra-stretch jersey is strategically placed on the shoulders and arms, providing maximum freedom of movement when you're holding a bar or a wing.
- SD2 Tape seams on 100% of the fullsuit: Every seam is taped, which means less water entry and a more durable fullsuit.
- Frontzip: This fullsuit features a chest entry and a fully foam back for maximum flexibility. It includes two key pockets with an attachment elastic.
- Water Strainer: A perforated neoprene zone at the bottom of the leg quickly drains any water that enters, so you don't have to stop your session.
- Twelve sizes: Manera offers the XTEND in short, standard, and long cuts. You'll find your perfect fit without needing to size up or down to accommodate your body type.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Its place in the XTEND range
The XTEND is Manera's performance fullsuit. It is so light and flexible that you will forget you are wearing it on the water. It is also warm. For 2026, the range gets an update with OCENA neoprene-free foam and Squareflex jersey. The XTEND line includes four frontzip models: the Hooded 5.4,3 mm with an integrated hood, the 5.4,3 mm, the 4.3 mm, and the 3.2 mm. This 4.3 mm model is the intermediate thickness, available in the GlissEvolution catalog for cooler water conditions.
OCENA, the neoprene-free foam
OCENA is a bio-sourced foam. Manera crafts it from natural rubber sourced from FSC-certified forests near its factory in Southeast Asia, enriched with oyster shell powder and vegetable oil. The brand promises a material that maintains warmth and stretch, and which is durable. This fullsuit wears and maintains just like a neoprene wetsuit.
XTEND Fleece and Squareflex jersey
Inside, the XTEND Fleece lining is Manera's answer to the perfect balance of flexibility and lightness. This fleece is lighter than a classic fleece, yet it insulates and dries quickly. This feature is a standout feature for anyone who rides two days in a row. On the outside, the new ultra-stretch Squareflex jersey on the shoulders and arms moves with you as you raise your arm.
Seams, patterning, and details
The seams are SD2 Taped throughout the fullsuit: a strip covers each seam, blocking water entry. The patterning is designed in 3D before being flattened. This creates panels that hug your body. The Water Strainer, a perforated neoprene area at the bottom of the leg, drains any water that gets in. Two key pockets with an attachment elastic are also included.
