Sheet updated September 2026
The Manera Seafarer FZ 3.2 mm is the fullsuit summer wetsuit from the Seafarer range, with a front zip. Manera builds it with the same materials and technologies as its winter wetsuits: S-FOAM limestone-based foam, Fleece XTEND lining, taped seams throughout the wetsuit, and a 3D-designed pattern. This makes it suitable for cool mid-season days, not just the height of summer. It's a no-frills wetsuit, but well-cut.
KEY INFORMATION
MANERA SEAFARER FZ 3.2 MM - Men's Fullsuit, Summer and Mid-Season
What we like
- Built like a winter wetsuit: Same materials and technologies as Manera's winter models, in a 3 and 2 mm thickness.
- 3D Pattern: The wetsuit is modeled in volume then converted into a flat pattern. It fits like a second skin, with no creases or air pockets.
- 100% Taped Seams: Every seam is covered with a tape on the inside, for watertightness and to reinforce the most stressed areas.
- Fleece XTEND: A lighter fleece than classic fleece, which insulates well and dries among the fastest on the market, according to Manera.
- Carefully Placed Seams: No seams in high-tension or friction areas, to prevent irritation in the armpits and crotch.
- Twelve Sizes: Short (MS, LS, XLS) and long (ST, MT, LT) sizes in addition to the classic grid.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A summer wetsuit built like a winter wetsuit
Manera presents the Seafarer FZ 3.2 mm as a high-quality summer wetsuit. What truly sets it apart from an entry-level 3.2 mm is its construction. It incorporates the same materials and technologies found in Manera's winter models, but in a lightweight thickness. There are no gimmicks here. The Seafarer range focuses on warmth and comfort, and Manera positions it as the best value in their collection.
The fit: 3D pattern and well-placed seams
Most wetsuits start from a flat pattern that manufacturers then try to adjust to the body. Manera takes the opposite approach. The wetsuit is modeled in 3D, then software converts it into a 2D pattern for the factory. Seams are strategically removed from high-tension and friction areas, and the remaining seams are vertically oriented. The result is no water entry, no air pockets, and neoprene that only stretches when you move.
The materials: S-FOAM, Seafarer Jersey, and Fleece XTEND
S-FOAM neoprene is crafted from limestone, not petroleum. Manera believes this strikes an excellent balance between flexibility and warmth. Inside, the Seafarer Jersey is chosen for its stretch and soft feel against your skin. The Fleece XTEND lining provides insulation while remaining lighter than classic fleece, and it dries quickly. All seams are internally taped. The fullsuit features a front zip closure with a 5 mm plastic zip.
Manufacturing: Sheico, water-based glue, and recycled carbon black
The Seafarer is produced by the Sheico Group in Taiwan, Manera's partner since 2012. The glue binding the fabrics to the neoprene is water-based (Aqua Glue), free of solvents and volatile organic compounds. The carbon black in the neoprene comes from pyrolyzed used tires, saving approximately 200 g of CO2 per wetsuit, according to Manera (manera.com, consulted on 28/09/2026). It ships in a 70% recycled cardboard box and a compostable bioplastic bag.

FAQ - MANERA SEAFARER FZ 3.2 MM
For surf and kitesurf riders who want a well-built summer wetsuit. It also handles cool mid-season days. The front zip and 3D pattern ensure a snug fit without discomfort.
Manera prioritizes weight, then height: body volume is what matters. When you try it on, the wetsuit should fit snugly. The neoprene will stretch after a few hours in the water. T sizes (ST, MT, LT) are for tall, slender body types, when your weight is about 10 kg less than your height in centimeters minus 100. For example, 70 kg for 180 cm means an ST. S sizes (MS, LS, XLS) are for the opposite case. For example, 75 kg for 165 cm means an MS, according to the brand.
Yes, Manera highlights this use. It features the same materials as the brand's winter wetsuits, including the Fleece XTEND lining. This makes it suitable for cool days in addition to mid-summer.
Rinse it with fresh water after each session. Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Dry it away from direct sunlight, and never on a wire hanger.
