KEY INFORMATION
MANERA SEAFARER WOMEN FZ 5.4,3 MM - Women's Winter Fullsuit
What we like
- The 4 mm upper body means thinner arms and shoulders than the torso. This lets you raise your arms to the bar or wing without strain.
- Front zip: Chest entry, zip-free back for greater flexibility and reduced water entry.
- SFOAM foam: Made from limestone. Manera claims it offers the best flexibility, warmth, and durability ratio on the market.
- XTEND Fleece lining: Loops that insulate and retain warmth. It is soft against the skin and quick-drying.
- SD2 Tape seams: Taped over 100% of the fullsuit, according to the FW27 book. This ensures watertightness and long-lasting performance.
- 3D patterning: Manera designs its fullsuits in 3D before flattening them. This creates a cut that follows the body without creases.
- A safe bet: Manera created this fullsuit for riders who want a high-quality winter fullsuit without breaking the bank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Seafarer in the Manera range
Manera organizes its fullsuits into distinct ranges: the Classic for beginners, the Seafarer for a well-made essential, the XTEND for maximum mobility, and the Magma for extreme cold. The Seafarer is the brand's no-frills, perfectly cut fullsuit. It is crafted from premium materials to offer the best value. This 5.4,3 mm is the thickest women's Seafarer without a hood, categorized by GlissEvolution as a winter fullsuit.
A winter fullsuit
Manera presents this as the winter fullsuit you can truly rely on. The arms and shoulders feature 4 mm neoprene. This maintains excellent stretch in your upper body. The XTEND Fleece lining insulates your back and dries incredibly fast. It comes with a classic collar. This allows you to add a separate hood when the water gets colder, or ride bareheaded on milder days.
The Seafarer FW27 construction
Manera summarizes the Seafarer as everything that makes a good wetsuit: warmth, comfort, durability, with the brand's cut and construction. It features SFOAM limestone-based foam. Manera claims it offers the best flexibility, warmth, and durability ratio on the market. The XTEND Fleece lining has loops that insulate and dry quickly. The XTEND jersey is soft and lightweight. SD2 Tape seams are used on 100% of the wetsuit. It has a 3D-designed pattern and a water strainer to drain water.
The front zip
Entry is through the chest. Compared to a back zip, this design keeps the back entirely in foam. This makes it more flexible and limits water entry. Getting it on takes a bit of practice the first couple of times, but once you master it, you won't look back. Manera also offers this thickness in a version with an integrated hood, the Seafarer Women Hooded FZ 5.4,3 mm.
Choosing your size
Available in five women's sizes, from XS to XL. The size guide higher up on the page cross-references your height and weight, based on the Manera FW27 women's chart. Always choose a fullsuit that fits snugly when dry. If it's too large, it will create water pockets. If it's too small, it will pull on your shoulders.
