Strategic Structure:
Some areas are very sensitive to friction, tensions and tearing. All Manera wetsuits have been designed with a demanding brief including voiding 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). Then the SD² tape is 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.
