Manera SEAFARER Hooded - FZ 4/3mm

The Manera SEAFARER Hooded 4/3 mm with integrated hood and front zip is reliable from mid-season to early winter, with the extra protection of the hood for windy days.

Who it's for

• Riders who go out in autumn and mild winter in cool wind.
• Anyone who wants their head protected without moving to a thicker suit.
• Anyone looking for quality at a good price.

Features

• Seafarer Jersey lining: the inner fabric, in contact with the skin, is very stretchy, light and soft.
• S-Foam: limestone-based neoprene, with a good balance of flexibility, warmth and durability.
• 100% taped seams: all seams are sealed on the inside so no water gets in and the highest-stress areas hold up better.
• XTEND thermal lining: in the key areas it insulates well, weighs less than a classic lining and is one of the fastest-drying.
• 3D design: Manera models the suit in 3D and then turns it into flat patterns for the factory, the opposite of most brands. The result is a second-skin fit, with no air pockets or creases.
• Integrated hood for the coldest days.
• Front zip in 5 mm plastic.
• 4/3 mm: 3 mm arms and shoulders for better stretch and a quick-drying lining on the back.

Composition: 90% neoprene and 10% nylon (approximate; varies by panel). Made by Sheico in Taiwan.

Which size to choose

Official Manera size chart for men's wetsuits. Weight comes first: find your weight first and then check your height. It should feel very tight when you try it on, because neoprene gives a little after a few hours in the water. “T” sizes are for tall, slim builds and “S” sizes for shorter, broader builds. You'll find more tips in our wetsuit buying guide. Check the selector for the sizes available in store.

Frequently asked questions

Why an integrated hood?

Because it's attached to the suit, it doesn't let water in through the neck and it's warmer than a separate hood.

What sets the SEAFARER apart from other Manera wetsuits?

It's the all-round model in the range: reinforced where it matters and simplified where it doesn't. Above it sit the XTEND (stretchier) and the MAGMA (warmer); below it, the CLASSIC.

How should it fit when I try it on?

Very tight, like a second skin. Neoprene gives a little after a few hours in the water, so if it feels loose when you try it on, after a few sessions it will be too big.
