DETAILED DESCRIPTION
No compromises for kids
Manera made no compromises: Groms wetsuits use the same materials and technologies as adult wetsuits. The brand believes it's crucial for young riders to feel comfortable in the elements. This allows them to fully develop their passion for watersports.
3D Designed
While the industry standard develops a 2D pattern to try and fit a 3D body, Manera models its wetsuits in 3D and then converts them into a precise 2D pattern. The result is a natural fit, snug like a second skin. A good fit means warmth without water entry or air pockets, and durability. It also provides comfort without overly tight areas.
GBS Seams
The different neoprene panels are glued and then blind-stitched: the needle does not completely penetrate the neoprene thickness. These seams are completely watertight and offer a very good level of flexibility.
Triplex Seafarer and X10D Jersey
Triplex Seafarer neoprene is reliable and efficient. The X10D Jersey interior provides flexibility and lightness. It features a front zip closure.
