Catalog excerpts
Welcome to the MANERA brand, we’re happy to see you interested in what we do. We are a French family-business which develops Kite & SUP gear for demanding riders. F-ONE KITES CEO Raphael SALLES, my father, founded MANERA in 2011 with the idea of creating gear to benefit the whole Kitesurfing community. When F-ONE develops kites and boards, MANERA stands side by side with the rider, creating wetsuits and harnesses. We share the same philosophy that the product is the heart of a company, and as a result most of our efforts are spent on the research, development and testing of the collection....

Shortening our sessions because of the cold was really something we wanted to end and each of our wetsuits were therefore designed without compromise. Every centimeter of seams, every material, every piece of reinforcement, every detail and every component is the fruit of long and meticulous work, which definitely brings an end to frozen and frustrated sessions. In our design, we do not just use the elasticity of neoprene to adapt...
Open the catalog to page 16What we call «neoprene» is actually composed of three layers including a middle neoprene foam with jerseys on each side. We use our exclusive TRIPLEX neoprene, which we have developed into two versions depending on your needs : MAGMA and X10D. The TRIPLEX MAGMA is clearly designed to be warm. The MAGMA interior fleece works as an insulator, enclosing the heat produced by the body in its thousands of small loops. This creates a barrier against external cold and restores the heat accumulated during your every movement back to you. The TRIPLEX X10D offers unparalleled freedom of movement. The...
Open the catalog to page 18The X10D inside layer is the most flexible material you can find on a suit, it makes you feel stretch and light, with a good feeling on the skin. Our brand new N FOAM is even warmer, more flexible and more comfortable than V foam. It totally outdoes all the existing foams. Better than your own skin. The REFLEX outside skin is extremely stretch, smooth, durable, UV-resistant, it enhances your movements and makes them more explosive.
Open the catalog to page 21The SD2 Tape seam represents the best balance between flexibility, durability and waterproofness. The neoprene panels are first sealed together and then sewn with «blind-stitches» : the needle does not entirely pass through the neoprene layer for a reduced permeability. It's all topped with a sealed tape on the inside: the SD2 TAPE. The sewing is therefore 100% waterproof and durability is considerably increased, while keeping the best possible flexibility.

The leaky + perforated neoprene drains the water out of your leg instantly to let you continue the session in the best possible conditions. Featured in all models (except shorty)

All MANERA wetsuits have been designed with a demanding brief including: Avoiding seams in tensions area, to maximize flexibility and strength. Making sure the seams are stretched vertically and not in a horizontal way. Removing seams from friction areas, which avoids rash and increases stretch capacity. Reinforcing strategic parts and panels right where it needs to be.

When you buy a MAN ERA wetsuit, we want you to know what you’re ordering. When we say 5.4.3mm, we guarantee that the product is built with more than 50% of 5mm thick neoprene. And this applies to all thicknesses.
