ALT Meteor - Front Zip 5/4/3mm (Men)

"ALT" stands for "Alternative," reflecting a greener, eco-conscious alternative to conventional wetsuits, with a focus on high performance. This wetsuit is made with 100% natural YULEX rubber, a renewable resource that offers durability and comfort.

Unlike non-renewable resources such as oil and limestone, natural rubber is tapped directly from FSC-certified hevea forests without harming the trees. This sustainable approach ensures long-term supply stability while significantly reducing environmental impact.

The ALT wetsuit features recycled materials throughout, including inside and outside jerseys, as well as an internal fleece. It also integrates all of MANERA’s standard sustainable processes.

The ALT delivers performance comparable to the MAGMA model, representing a new generation of high-performance wetsuits that offer a reduced environmental footprint.

Triplex ALT The Triplex ALT design prioritizes warmth:

• Re-flex skin / Protection
• Air-foam / Insulation
• Magma Recycled / Warmth & Sustainability

These three materials combine to create a warm, durable, and comfortable wetsuit.

3D Design for a Superior Fit Instead of following the industry standard of developing 2D patterns to fit on a 3D body, MANERA uses advanced computer design to model wetsuits directly in 3D. This approach is then translated into precise 2D patterns for manufacturing, resulting in a natural, second-skin fit that distinguishes MANERA wetsuits.

Benefits of a Perfect Fit:

• Warmth: Prevents water entry and air pockets
• Durability: Minimizes neoprene stretch during movement
• Comfort: Avoids tightness in key areas for a better fit
• Style: Eliminates unflattering folds

Strategic Structure MANERA wetsuits are engineered to withstand friction, tension, and wear. The design ensures:

• No seams in high-tension areas to enhance flexibility and strength
• Vertical seam stretching for better durability
• Seams positioned away from friction zones to prevent rash and increase stretch
• Reinforcement in critical areas for added durability

Sealing Prints Sealing prints around the ankles and wrists create a tighter fit, helping to keep water out while maintaining the panels' position.

Back Knee Emboss The back knee emboss ensures a natural bend in the neoprene, improving comfort during knee flexion.

Water Strainer To prevent water buildup in the wetsuit legs, the water strainer panel drains water efficiently, ensuring maximum comfort during your session.

SD2 Tape 2.0 The neoprene layers are glued and "blind-stitched" to prevent the needle from piercing through. SD2 tape is then welded over the seams using air heat, enhancing the wetsuit's durability, waterproofness, and flexibility.

Fusion Cut The edges of the arms and legs are fused for a thinner, more aesthetic finish, protecting the inner AIR FOAM layer.

Phantom Straps For added water resistance, the ultra-thin Phantom ankle straps are designed to block water while remaining light and comfortable.
