Why Choose the SEAFARER UZ 4.3mm?
Easier Changing, Comfortable Closure
The ergonomic U-Zip makes getting into and out of the suit easier. Its accessible puller and flexible closure combine straightforward handling with a reliable seal.
Warmth Across the Back
Strategically placed XTEND fleece adds insulation while staying light and flexible. Its quick-drying construction helps the lining dry between sessions.
Flexible Arms and Shoulders
Using 3mm neoprene in the arms and shoulders supports easy paddling and arm movement. Stretch neoprene alongside the zipper around the shoulder blades adds flexibility across the back.
Fully Taped Internal Seams
Internal seam tape helps limit water entry and reinforces the joins between panels. Full coverage supports durability through the repeated movement of regular sessions.

How to Choose Your Fit
Manera develops its wetsuits in three dimensions before creating the cutting patterns. This approach produces a close, natural fit that supports movement and reduces loose pockets.
- Start with body weight, then check height. Manera prioritizes body volume when recommending a size.
- Expect the suit to feel snug when dry; neoprene relaxes slightly after time 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 build falls between standard proportions.

SEAFARER UZ 4.3mm FAQs
When Should I Choose the 4.3mm?
Manera positions it for the shoulder seasons into early winter, where local conditions suit a 4/3mm wetsuit. Consider water temperature, wind, session length and personal cold tolerance when choosing your thickness.
How Does It Differ from the 3.2mm?
The 4.3mm adds thicker neoprene and XTEND fleece for back insulation, while keeping 3mm arms and shoulders for flexibility. The SEAFARER 3.2mm uses jersey lining without thermal fleece.
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.
