Sheet updated September 2026
The Manera XTEND Hood 2 mm is Manera's thin hood, cut from the same material as its XTEND wetsuits. Manera wants it discreet: you forget it's on your head while it keeps you warm. Flexible and light, it leaves the neck free. This makes it, according to the brand, the accessory for those who dislike bulky hoods. Since the FW24 collection, the face opening is wider. This allows you to wear it under your chin without feeling tight. Four sizes, S to XL, black color.
KEY INFORMATION
MANERA XTEND HOOD 2 MM - Neoprene Hood
What we like
- XTEND Material: This hood uses the same neoprene as Manera's XTEND wetsuits. It's flexible and lightweight, moving with your head.
- 2 mm: This thickness is enough to block the wind and keep your ears warm, yet it's thin enough to fit comfortably under a wetsuit without adding bulk.
- Wider Opening: Starting with the FW24 collection, Manera enlarged the face opening. This means you can wear the hood up or pull it down under your chin without it feeling tight.
- Low Volume: There's no thick collar or visor. This hood fits smoothly under a wetsuit collar without creating any bulk.
- Four Sizes: Choose from S to XL based on your head circumference. Refer to the Manera size guide higher up on the page for details.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A Hood You'll Forget You're Wearing
There are two ways to make a hood: thick and warm, or thin and flexible. The XTEND Hood is the latter. Manera makes it from the material of its XTEND wetsuits. This gives it the flexibility and lightness of the range, and very good head mobility. This is the hood for mid-season sessions and cool winter mornings. It is also for anyone who has never tolerated a bulky hood. For extreme cold, Manera offers the thicker Magma Hood.
Face Opening and Sizes
All Manera hoods now feature a wider face opening, a change introduced with the FW24 collection. The brand made this update for comfort: you can wear the hood up or pull it down under your chin without it feeling tight. Choose from four sizes (S, M, L, and XL) based on your head circumference. You'll find the Manera size guide higher up on the page. After your session, rinse it with fresh water and let it dry in the shade.

FAQ - MANERA XTEND HOOD 2 MM
This hood is for anyone who wants to block the wind and keep their head warm without wearing a thick hood. It's perfect for Kite, Wing, or Surf sessions in mid-season, or as an addition to a winter wetsuit without an integrated hood. For truly cold water, Manera's Magma Hood offers more warmth.
Choose your size based on your head circumference, using the Manera size guide higher up on the page. S fits up to 54 cm, M from 55 to 57 cm, L from 58 to 60 cm, and XL from 61 cm. A hood should fit snugly; it will stretch slightly in the water.
