Warm 5/3mm Construction for Cooler Sessions
The 5/3mm thickness gives this wetsuit for Women a practical balance between insulation and mobility. The thicker neoprene sections help retain body heat around the areas where warmth is most important, while the upper body benefits from thinner, more flexible neoprene to make paddling, turning and riding feel less restrictive.
This construction is particularly useful during colder sessions when a thin wetsuit simply does not provide enough protection. The Seafarer is intended to be a dependable partner for mid-season and cooler conditions, allowing riders to spend more time in the water without becoming uncomfortable too quickly.
The combination of warmth and movement makes it suitable for several watersports, including:
- Surfing
- Kitesurfing
- Foiling
- Stand-up paddleboarding
- General cold-water watersports
A good surfing wetsuit should keep you warm without making every movement feel difficult, and the Seafarer is built around that simple principle.
Front Zip Entry for Comfort and Freedom
Easy Front Zip Design
The Manera Seafarer Women 2022 uses a front zip entry system. This design provides a secure closure while helping the wetsuit maintain a close fit around the upper body.
Front zip wetsuits are popular among active riders because they can provide a comfortable fit and good freedom of movement once the suit is properly fitted. The front entry system on the Seafarer is designed to make getting into the suit practical while maintaining comfort during riding.
The close-fitting construction also helps reduce unnecessary water movement inside the suit. Less water flushing through the wetsuit means your body has less cold water to warm up, helping maintain comfort during longer sessions.
Designed to Move Naturally
Manera uses a 3D design process to develop wetsuits around the shape of the human body. Instead of relying only on traditional flat pattern development, the company designs the wetsuit to follow a more natural body shape.
This approach aims to provide a second-skin feeling with fewer uncomfortable pressure points and less unnecessary material bunching. A better fit can also improve warmth because reducing gaps and water entry helps the wetsuit work more efficiently.
X10D Fleece Plus for Added Thermal Comfort
Lightweight Thermal Lining
One of the important features of the Seafarer is the use of X10D Fleece Plus in key areas. This thermal lining is designed to improve insulation while remaining lightweight and comfortable against the body.
The fleece construction uses small loops to help trap warmth, creating an insulating layer between your body and the colder outside environment. Manera describes the X10D fleece as lighter than a traditional jersey while still delivering useful thermal performance.
This combination is valuable for women who want a warm Women wetsuit without the heavy and bulky feeling sometimes associated with thicker neoprene suits.
The inner construction also includes X10D Jersey in other areas, providing a soft and stretchy feel against the skin.
Triplex Seafarer Material Construction
The Seafarer uses a multi-layer material approach designed to combine protection, insulation and flexibility.
Re-flex Skin Outer Layer
The outer layer is designed for flexibility and durability. Re-flex Skin is intended to support natural movement while also offering resistance to everyday exposure and UV conditions.
Airfoam and Insulating Neoprene
The middle insulating layer helps the wetsuit retain warmth while maintaining a relatively lightweight feel. This is important during colder sessions when thermal protection is essential.
X10D Inner Materials
The inside materials focus on comfort, stretch and warmth. The combination of fleece and jersey helps create a softer feeling against the skin while supporting mobility.
Together, these layers create a practical balance of:
- Warmth
- Flexibility
- Comfort
- Durability
- Lightweight performance
This makes the Seafarer an appealing wetsuit for Women who want reliable technical construction without moving into an unnecessarily complicated design.
GBS Seams for Reduced Water Entry
Glued and Blind Stitched Construction
The Seafarer 5/3 uses GBS seams, meaning the neoprene panels are glued together and then blind stitched. Unlike conventional stitching that can pass completely through the neoprene, blind stitching is designed to reduce water penetration through the seam.
This construction provides several important benefits:
- Reduced water entry
- Improved warmth
- Flexible seam movement
- Better comfort during active riding
- Strong and durable panel connections
For a colder-water surfing wetsuit, seam construction is extremely important. Even high-quality neoprene can lose effectiveness if cold water constantly enters through the seams. GBS construction helps the Seafarer maintain a more comfortable internal environment.
Practical Details for Everyday Watersports
The Manera Seafarer Women 2022 includes several useful details designed to improve comfort and practicality.
Back Knee Emboss
The Back Knee Emboss helps the neoprene bend more naturally around the knees. This can improve comfort when crouching, paddling, popping up on a board or maintaining an active riding stance.
Water Strainer
If water enters the wetsuit, the Water Strainer system at the ankles helps it drain away. This prevents unnecessary water from remaining trapped inside the legs.
Phantom Ankle Straps
The ankle straps help keep the wetsuit legs positioned correctly and can support a secure fit around the ankles.
These details may seem small individually, but together they contribute to a better overall experience during long sessions.
Manera Seafarer Women Size Chart
Use the measurements below as a general guide when selecting your Manera Seafarer wetsuit. For the best performance, the suit should fit closely without restricting breathing or natural movement.
| Size | Height (cm) | Chest (cm) | Waist (cm) | Hip (cm) | Average Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 156–164 | 80–88 | 60–70 | 84–92 | 47 |
| S | 160–168 | 84–92 | 65–74 | 88–96 | 49 |
| M | 164–172 | 88–96 | 70–79 | 92–100 | 55 |
| L | 172–180 | 96–104 | 79–90 | 100–110 | 68 |
| XL | 176–184 | 100–108 | 83–103 | 105–111 | 75 |
Sizing tip: If your measurements fall between sizes, consider which measurement is most important for achieving a close fit around the chest, waist and hips. A wetsuit should feel snug when dry, but it should not create painful pressure or severely restrict movement.
