Why Choose the CLASSIC BZ 4.3mm?
Flexible C-FOAM Neoprene
Limestone-based C-FOAM balances thermal insulation and stretch. It helps the suit stay comfortable as you paddle, handle your wing or move through kiteboarding waterstarts.
Lightweight Thermal Fleece
Strategically placed XTEND fleece adds soft insulation without excessive weight. Its quick-drying construction helps the lining dry between sessions.
A Fit Built Around Your Body
Manera develops its wetsuits in three dimensions before creating the cutting patterns. The result is a close, natural fit designed to support movement and reduce loose pockets.
Reinforced Where It Matters
Internal tape strengthens critical seams and helps resist water entry. Reinforcement patches protect the junctions where multiple seams meet, while preserving flexibility.

How to Choose Your Fit
Start with body weight, then check height—Manera prioritizes body volume when recommending a wetsuit size. Expect a snug fit when trying it on; the neoprene relaxes slightly after time in the water.
- Check that the suit sits closely through the torso, underarms and crotch.
- Move your arms, bend your knees and make sure you can breathe comfortably.
- If you fall between sizes, ask Windance for help matching the fit to your build.

CLASSIC BZ 4.3mm FAQs
When Should I Choose the 4.3mm?
Choose it when you want more insulation than a comparable 3/2mm wetsuit. Consider local water temperature, wind, session length and personal cold tolerance when deciding which thickness suits your conditions.
What Does 25% Seam Tape Mean?
Manera concentrates the internal tape on the most critical seams. It reinforces those areas and improves resistance to water entry while keeping the rest of the suit flexible.
Wetsuit Care
Rinse with fresh water after use and dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid wire hangers, machine washing, tumble drying and dry cleaning to help protect the neoprene and construction.
