Manera Magma 5/4/3 Frontzip Women 2026 Wetsuit

Keep kiting through winter in this women's wetsuit from Manera

What's actually stopping you in November? Usually not the wind, because it blows more often then than in July. The Manera Magma 5/4/3 Frontzip Women 2026 takes that excuse away. This is the wetsuit that keeps you going when the beach is deserted, the car park is even emptier and you've got the whole spot to yourself. Manera has been building the Magma for exactly those days for years.

The 5/4/3mm build puts the thickness where it counts. Thick on your torso where you want to hold on to heat, thinner on your arms and legs where you want to stay flexible for steering and pumping. You'll notice the difference in a two-hour session: your shoulders don't tire from fighting your own wetsuit, and ten minutes in you're still not dreaming about a hot coffee. The Magma+ fleece lining insulates and generates warmth at the same time, while staying extremely stretchy. It also dries 30% faster than standard fleece, so on a double-session day you step into a wetsuit in the afternoon that feels slightly damp instead of ice cold.

New for 2026 is OCENA, a neoprene-free bio-based foam. It's made from natural rubber sourced from FSC-certified forests close to the factory in Southeast Asia, combined with oyster shell powder and plant-based oil. The same warmth, flex, comfort and durability you're used to from a Magma, with a much smaller footprint on the water you ride in yourself.

The fit comes from the partnership between Manera and SHEICO, which has been running since 2012. The wetsuit is designed in 3D first and then converted into patterns, which shows in a second-skin fit with no pulling anywhere. The seams are kept out of the friction and stress zones, run vertically with the stretch, and the panels are reinforced where the load is. No chafing on your neck, no seam giving up after one winter.

Are you the type who still heads out with four-degree water and a hailstorm rolling in? Then check out the Magma 6/4 Frontzip Hooded Women 2026. For the rest of the winter season, the Manera Magma 5/4/3 Frontzip is exactly enough. Keep it ready in the car and bring on the cold season.

Want to hit the water fully prepared? Check out the complete Manera range, from gloves to Magma boots, and never feel the cold again. For your hands, grab the Magma Lobster Glove in 2.5 or 5 mm: the lobster shape keeps your fingers together, so they stay extra warm. Prefer more feel on your bar? Then the Magma Open Palm Glove 2.5 mm is your pick. For your feet, go for the Magma Boots in 5 or 7 mm with a round toe for those properly cold days, or the X10D Boots 3 mm with a split toe if you want a bit more board feel. Top it off with the Magma Hood 2 mm and keep kiting while everyone else has long since headed inside.
