Discover all the specificities and key features that set each MANERA wetsuit apart. Follow this guide and find which one suits you best.
3D Designed
Most wetsuits in the industry start with 2D patterns that are then forced to fit a 3D body. We decided to take the opposite approach. We use computer design to model perfectly fitted wetsuits in 3D, then we employ an innovative software to convert them into precise 2D patterns for the factory. It creates a natural, second-skin fit that makes the MANERA wetsuits stand out.
Warmth: No water entry, no air pocket.
Durability: The neoprene stretches only when you move.
Comfort: No overtight areas, comfortable under the arms and through the crotch area.
Style: Folds have never been fashionable.
& On the Inside?
The MAGMA+ fleece keeps you warm even during the worst winter days. Only featured on this model, it not only works as an effective insulator and heat generator but is also manufactured to remain flexible. It is about 10% lighter and dries 30% faster than a standard fleece.
The XTEND fleece offers good thermal insulation in all areas where it is placed, and benefits from one of the best drying times on the market. It is lighter than a classic fleece, which provides a perfect balance of flexibility and lightness, keeping you warm without weighing you down.
MAGMA, XTEND, & SEAFARER: All seams are fully taped to improve waterproofing, while also reinforcing these high-stress areas and therefore providing greater durability to the wetsuit.
CLASSIC: The seams are taped only in the most critical areas. The seam tape improves waterproofing, while also reinforcing these high-stress zones and providing greater durability to the wetsuit.
Every rider is different, and so is every session. That’s why our wetsuit range is structured into four distinct models, each with its own strengths and performance. United by the same standards of quality and innovation, every MANERA wetsuit is designed to help you stay salty and make the most of your time on the water.

Whether you’re chasing waves at sunrise or shredding in the wind on an evening foil session, the right summer wetsuit makes all the difference. Fit, flexibility, warmth, and style all come into play (and yes, there is a perfect suit for your local conditions.)
This guide breaks down what to look for in a Manera summer suit for both men and women, helping you find the ideal balance of protection and performance. Continue reading for an insider opinion from Surfers‘ very own Chris Dodds.
What to consider
Water temp and wind conditions
65–75°F (18–24°C): You’re in shorty or 2mm territory.
Above 75°F (24°C): Go sleeveless, short-sleeved, or even a neoprene top.
Add wind and your call changes—foilers and wind sports athletes often need more coverage due to wind chill.
Activity
Surfing: Prioritize paddle flexibility.
Kiting/Wingfoiling: Choose protection from impact and wind chill; consider longer legs or sleeves.
SUP/Long paddles: Go for breathable neoprene, flatlock stitching, and quick-dry liners.
Fit is everything
A suit that’s too loose flushes with water. One that’s too tight won’t flex or breathe. Manera suits are cut anatomically for movement—try before you buy, or check size charts carefully.
The new SEAFARER SHORTY 2.2mm provides excellent freedom of movement while maintaining essential core warmth. It is packed with the same technologies as the HYBRID 2.2mm but features cropped sleeves and legs. Stretchy, comfortable, and robust, it is perfect for summer sessions in warmer waters.
The SEAFARER brings us back to the essentials of what makes a good wetsuit, nothing more, nothing less: warmth, stretch, durability. It’s a no-bullshit wetsuit with MANERA’s renowned fit and construction.
If you are looking for a high-performance wetsuit at an affordable price, this is the right choice.

“I’m stoked to say I’ve now worn a spring suit for a majority of my most recent sessions and damn it feels good. I’ve even seen people trunking it, which seems like a good idea when the sun is pumping but, to be honest, none of them have lasted very long in the water. The happy medium for enjoying the sun but not feeling the chill after a long lull is a solid spring suit.
I recently grabbed the Manera Seafarer Shorty 2mm and it’s been perfect for the combo of warm sun and chilly(ish) water. It even kept me warm during a recent session up in Ventura which was a few degrees colder than my home spots in San Diego. Manera is relatively new on the scene here in the US but they’re doing it right in every which way–they use natural rubbers, they have suits especially made for women, they fulfill their online orders through local surf shops, and they even signed Dane Reynolds. What’s not to love?”
We design our neoprene tops like we design our wetsuits: in 3D.
It fits like a second skin so you can forget about it as soon as you’re on the water.We only use premium materials: our high-quality tops are made to be warm, because there’s nothing more frustrating than being cold in summer. It’s a no-bullshit top with Manera’s renowned fit and construction that will be your favorite partner all summer long.
For those ultimate warm days, consider the Manera Wetshirt Sunshell LS. It is a lightweight, long-sleeve rashguard designed for sun protection and comfort during water activities. Its ultra-stretch, fast-drying fabric offers a loose tee-shirt fit, making it feel like you’re wearing nothing both in and out of the water. The inner plush lining provides warmth without the bulk of neoprene, and the windproof material shields against wind chill, ensuring you stay comfortable during your sessions.
Women’s Summer Picks
Manera’s women’s cuts aren’t just smaller men’s suits—they’re designed for real body geometry. From chest seams to waistlines, they move with you, not against you.
If you’re looking for a versatile summer wetsuit that doesn’t compromise on warmth or flexibility, the Shorty Hybrid is an excellent choice. Designed with long sleeves and short legs, this suit provides essential protection against wind chill while allowing for maximum mobility in warmer waters. Constructed from the same premium materials as Manera’s full-length steamers, it features the X10D fleece lining for superior thermal insulation and comfort. The front-zip entry ensures easy on and off, and the suit’s 3D design offers a second-skin fit that moves seamlessly with your body. Ideal for activities like surfing, kitesurfing, or stand-up paddleboarding during the summer months, the Seafarer 3/2 Shorty Hybrid combines performance and comfort in a stylish package.
For women seeking a summer wetsuit that combines performance with a sleek design, the Bikisuit stands out. Crafted from high-quality 2mm limestone-based neoprene, it offers warmth without compromising flexibility. The suit’s interior features the X10D jersey, providing a soft, silky feel against the skin while ensuring maximum stretch and lightness. Its glued and blind-stitched (GBS) seams enhance waterproofing and durability, making it ideal for extended sessions in cooler summer waters. The front-zip entry allows for easy on and off, and the suit’s design ensures it stays in place during active movements, preventing any unwanted shifting or discomfort .
The best summer wetsuit is the one you forget you’re wearing. It lets you move freely, protects you just enough, and keeps you in the water longer. With Manera’s blend of function, fit, and thoughtful design, your summer sessions are set to level up, no matter where or how you ride.
When the industry standard is to develop 2D patterns and try to fit it on a 3D body, we decided to break new ground and take the opposite direction.
We use computer design to model good-fitted wetsuits in 3D, then we employ an innovative software that converts it into a precise 2D pattern for the factory.
When we decided to create our first wetsuit, we basically had two choices:
Option #1
Buy/create a basic design at the factory we were working with.
But our passion is not to put our logo on a standard product.
Option #2
Buy/create a basic design at the factory we were working with.
But our passion is not to put our logo on a standard product.
Option #3:
3D design software. Once the first prototype was assembled and put on, we realized how fantastic a process we had.
A better fit.
The 3D Design concept is hard to imagine, because a finished wetsuit is always in three dimensions once assembled.
Our process works just the opposite of the traditional way: we virtually draw the wetsuit on a 3D body, then our software automatically translates this data into 2D so that the factory can read the files and cut the panels.
Get to know the names behind the spray. From rising groms to East Coast chargers and global icons, these three MANERA riders each bring their own flavor to the lineup. With new edits dropping, here’s your chance to meet Cash Souter, Ryan Leopold, and Dane Reynolds.
Born and raised in North Carolina, Cash Souter is an Outer Banks grom with a passion for surfing, skating, and protecting the ocean. A member of the USA Junior National Surfing Team, Cash started competing in 2020 and quickly made a name for himself with his constant stoke and willingness to charge hard on every wave. When he’s not surfing, you’ll catch him at the skatepark or fishing. Always working on his skills and flow, Cash keeps it positive in and out of the water, spreading good vibes wherever he goes.
Based in North Carolina, Ryan Leopold is all about chasing barrels and keeping it real, literally. A core member of the REAL Watersports crew, Ryan is the go-to guy when it comes to testing surfboards, creating content and sharing his feedback with the community, often logging waves on a new shape before the sun sets. When he’s not in the lineup, he’s spearfishing, hunting, or tending to his organic garden, staying connected to nature. Rooted in the tight-knit East Coast surf scene, Ryan likes to stay grounded with his love for cold-water tubes, good friends, and spontaneous adventures.
Dane Reynolds needs no introduction in the surfing world. Born and bred in Central California, Dane is known for his “go for broke”, intuitive, progressive and explosive style, making him one of the most exciting and imaginative surfers today.
Unapologetically himself and always following his intuition, everything Dane does has his own style. He went on tour young, and quickly realized he wasn’t about it. He went off in his own direction afterwards, carving out his own unique path to become an electric free surfer and a reference in the world of surf films – his other favorite creative outlet besides surfing.
