Manera Bikisuit 2mm Longarm Frontzip Women Wetsuit

Stay warm on summer days with the Manera Bikisuit

Make no mistake: the Manera Seafarer Bikisuit 2mm Longarm Frontzip is not a swimsuit. It's a fully fledged wetsuit with a clever cut, made for those annoying summer days when the air feels fresh but the water has already warmed up nicely. That's exactly why Manera went for long sleeves and an open leg line, because your arms and upper body catch the most wind and cool down the fastest.

That combination works better than you'd think. The 2/2mm thickness on your torso and arms keeps you warm through a long evening session in June, while your legs stay completely free. No neoprene pulling when you get up on your board, no stiff knees during a waterstart and no sweatbox when the wind drops halfway through and you're floating around for fifteen minutes waiting for it to pick up. You come out of the water without shivering and can carry on with your day without first wrestling your way out of a full wetsuit. The frontzip makes getting in and out even easier and keeps as much water out as possible.

Where Manera really stands out is the fit. Most wetsuits start out as 2D patterns that are then forced around a 3D body. Manera flips that around: first a 3D model on the computer, then software that turns it into precise patterns for the factory. You feel it in a second-skin fit with no creases, no air pockets and no tight spots under your arms.

The seams are well thought out too. They're kept out of the friction zones, so you won't get chafing during long sessions, and they run vertically with the stretch instead of across it. The panels are reinforced in strategic places. The jersey is bonded to the neoprene with water-based Aqua Glue. The neoprene itself is made from limestone, and the carbon black is recovered from old car tyres.

Looking for an extra layer for cooler summer days without jumping straight into a full wetsuit? The Manera Bikisuit is the answer. Throw it in your boardbag and get more out of every session.
