Why Choose the SEAFARER UZ?
Easier Entry and Exit
The U-Zip system makes getting into and out of the suit more straightforward. Its accessible puller and ergonomic closure combine easy handling with a secure seal.
Comfort Across the Upper Body
A compact zipper follows the body’s natural lines to reduce pressure points. Stretch neoprene alongside the zip around the shoulder blades supports back flexibility during paddling and repeated movements.
Flexible Neoprene, Smooth Lining
Limestone-based S-FOAM balances warmth, stretch and durability. A lightweight Seafarer jersey lining adds a smooth feel against the skin.
Full Internal Seam Taping
Internal tape covers the seams to help resist water entry and reinforce the joins between panels. This supports durability in areas that see repeated stretching.

How to Choose Your Fit
Manera develops its wetsuits around a three-dimensional body shape to create a close, natural fit. Start with body weight, then check height in the men’s size guide.
- Expect a snug fit when dry; the neoprene relaxes slightly after use in the water.
- Check for close contact through the torso, underarms and crotch, with comfortable breathing and movement.
- Consider Tall or Short sizes if your height and build fall between standard proportions.
Use Manera’s men’s wetsuit size guide as a starting point, or contact Windance for help choosing your size.
SEAFARER UZ Wetsuit FAQs
What Does UZ Mean?
UZ identifies Manera’s U-Zip entry system. It uses a flexible closure shaped around the upper body for comfortable movement and easier changing.
Does the 3.2mm Have a Fleece Lining?
This thickness uses a smooth, stretchy jersey lining without thermal fleece. Manera specifically distinguishes the SEAFARER 3.2mm from the fleece-lined versions in the range.
Which Conditions Is It Designed For?
Summer surf sessions and cooler days in the shoulder seasons. Choose your thickness around local water temperature, wind, session length and personal cold tolerance.
How Does It Differ from the CLASSIC?
The SEAFARER has full internal seam taping, while the CLASSIC uses targeted taping in critical areas. Both share Manera’s 3D approach to fit; this SEAFARER adds U-Zip entry.
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.
