Manera Magma Steamer 5/4/3 Hooded Chest Zip Wetsuit

Triplex Magma
These three materials (Re-flex skin, Air-foam, Magma +) brought together create a warm, durable and comfortable wetsuit.

Re-Flex Skin
Born from the latest technologies of stretch fabrics, the Re-Flex Skin is extremely flexible, durable, and UV proof. It enhances your movements and makes them more explosive.

Air-Foam Neoprene
Manera chose to use a very light neoprene foam as they believe having less weight means improved comfort and endurance. It also features the best flex and insulation of the market, with the quilted touch you love in a Manera suit. Air-foam is limestone based.

Magma Plus Thermal
The new Magma+ is from a new generation of thermal materials. Its fleece insulates and keeps you warm even during the worst winter days. Magma+ is found on all parts of Magma wetsuits, expect the arms which require greater flexibility.

Magma Plus Quick-Drying
Thanks to its quick-drying fleece and its internal structure that acts as a water-draining tunnel, Magma+ provides the best drying time on the market The drying time between Magma+ and a conventional fleece is reduced by about 30%.

Magma Plus Light-Weight
Thanks to its structure and low density, Magma+ is about 10% lighter than a classic fleece. As it dries quickly and absorbs very little water, Magma wetsuits are ultralight, even during use.

Recycled Jersey

• Inside: Assembled with 100% recycled nylon, the inside jersey is a key part of the wetsuit, being in direct contact with the skin. The Manera Jersey fabric not only provides maximum stretch and lightness, but also a smooth, silky feeling on the skin.
• Outside: Assembled with 83% recycled nylon, the outside jersey is made to provide the ultimate flex while resisting UV rays, salt, tearing and frictions.

Designed in 3D
When the industry standard is to develop 2D patterns and try to fit it on a 3D body, the folks at Manera decided to break new ground and take the opposite direction. They use computer design to model good-fitted wetsuits in 3D, then they employ an innovative software that converts it into a precise 2D pattern for the factory. It creates a natural, second-skin fit that makes the Manera wetsuits stand out.

Strategic Structure

Some areas are very sensitive to frictions, tensions and tears. All Manera wetsuits have been designed with a demanding brief including:

• Avoiding seams in tension areas to maximize flexibility and strength.
• Making sure the seams are stretched vertically and not sideways.
• Removing seams from friction areas to avoid rashes and increase 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 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, so the Manera water strainer panel is there to prevent it. The leaky and 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). The SD² tape is then welded to the seam by an air heater machine. This innovative process brings more durability, waterproofness and flexibility to their 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.
