KEY INFORMATION
MANERA XTEND HOODED FZ 5.4,3 MM - Men's Winter Fullsuit
What we like
- OCENA neoprene-free foam: For 2026, the XTEND transitions to Manera's bio-sourced foam. This material is made from natural rubber from FSC-certified forests, oyster shell powder, and vegetable oil.
- XTEND Fleece lining: Manera describes this lining as the perfect balance of flexibility and lightness. It keeps you warm without adding bulk. It features the brand's fastest drying time.
- Squareflex jersey: This ultra-stretch jersey is strategically placed on the shoulders and arms. It provides maximum freedom of movement when you're holding a bar or a wing.
- SD2 Tape seams on 100% of the fullsuit: Every seam is taped. This means less water entry and a more durable fullsuit.
- Integrated hood: No more fussing with a separate hood or worrying about water flushing in at the collar. The hood is a seamless part of the fullsuit.
- Water Strainer: A perforated neoprene zone at the bottom of the leg quickly drains any water that enters. You don't have to stop your session.
- Twelve sizes: Manera offers the XTEND in short, standard, and long cuts. You'll find your perfect fit without needing to size up or down to accommodate your body type.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Its place in the XTEND range
The XTEND is Manera's performance wetsuit. It is so light, flexible, and warm that you'll forget you're wearing it. For 2026, the range gets an update with OCENA neoprene-free foam and Squareflex jersey. The line includes four models, all with front zips: the Hooded 5.4,3 mm with an integrated hood, the 5.4,3 mm, the 4.3 mm, and the 3.2 mm. This Hooded version is the only one with an integrated hood in the GlissEvolution winter wetsuit catalog.
OCENA, the neoprene-free foam
OCENA is a bio-sourced foam. Manera crafts it from natural rubber sourced from FSC-certified forests near its factory in Southeast Asia, enriched with oyster shell powder and vegetable oil. The brand promises a material that maintains warmth, stretch, and durability. This fullsuit wears and maintains just like a neoprene wetsuit.
XTEND Fleece and Squareflex jersey
Inside, the XTEND Fleece lining offers a perfect balance of flexibility and lightness. This lighter-than-classic fleece insulates effectively. It dries quickly. It's a standout feature for anyone riding two days in a row. On the outside, the new ultra-stretch Squareflex jersey on the shoulders and arms moves with you as you raise your arm.
Seams, patterning, and details
The SD2 Tape seams run throughout the fullsuit. A band covers each seam to block water entry. The patterning is designed in 3D before being flattened. This creates panels that hug your body. The Water Strainer, a perforated neoprene zone at the bottom of the leg, drains any water that enters. The hood is integrated into the fullsuit.

FAQ - MANERA XTEND HOODED FZ 5.4,3 MM
It's for the kiter, wingfoiler, or surfer who wants a light and mobile fullsuit, not a restrictive one. This is the warmest XTEND, and the only one with an integrated hood. For the same thickness without a hood, check out the XTEND FZ 5.4,3 mm.
Yes. For 2026, Manera has upgraded the XTEND range with OCENA foam. This bio-sourced material features FSC-certified natural rubber, oyster shell powder, and vegetable oil. You can wear and care for it just like a traditional neoprene fullsuit.
The size guide above helps you find your perfect fit by cross-referencing your height and weight, based on the Manera FW27 chart. T-sized body builds are designed for taller riders, while S-sized body builds are for shorter riders. Remember, a fullsuit should fit snugly when dry. If you have any questions, call us with your measurements or stop by the shop; all sizes are in stock.
Both ranges share the innovative OCENA foam, Squareflex jersey, and 3D patterning. The XTEND features the lighter XTEND Fleece lining. It prioritizes freedom of movement. The MAGMA, on the other hand, comes with Manera's warmest MAGMA+ fleece and is available in thicknesses up to 6.4 mm with a hood. Choose the XTEND for lightweight performance, and the MAGMA for deep winter warmth.
