Why Choose the CLASSIC BZ?
A Fit Built Around the Body
Manera models its wetsuits in three dimensions before creating the cutting patterns. The result is a close, natural fit designed to reduce loose pockets and keep movement comfortable.
Warmth with Easy Movement
Limestone-based C-FOAM balances insulation and stretch, helping the suit feel light and flexible as you paddle, ride or work through waterstarts.
Lightweight Thermal Lining
XTEND fleece adds soft insulation in selected areas. Its lightweight, quick-drying construction supports comfort between sessions as well as in the water.
Reinforcement Where It Counts
Targeted seam tape strengthens critical areas and helps limit water entry. Reinforcement patches protect the junctions where multiple seams meet.

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 check that you can breathe comfortably.
- If you fall between sizes, ask Windance for help matching the fit to your build.

CLASSIC BZ Wetsuit FAQs
What Does BZ Mean?
BZ means back zip. This version of the CLASSIC has its entry zipper on the back of the suit.
When Should I Choose the 3.2mm?
Choose it for warmer-water sessions when you want full coverage and flexible insulation. Factor in water temperature, wind, air temperature, session length and how easily you get cold.
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 preserving flexibility elsewhere.
How Does It Compare with the SEAFARER?
The CLASSIC focuses on accessible performance with targeted seam taping. Manera’s adult SEAFARER range uses full seam taping. Both share the brand’s 3D approach to fit.
Wetsuit Care
Rinse with fresh water after use and dry out of direct sunlight. Avoid wire hangers, machine washing, tumble drying and dry cleaning to help protect the neoprene and construction.
