EXPERIENCE THE FIT OF AN INNOVATIVE 3D PATTERN-MAKING
The most important aspect of a MANERA wetsuit is probably the way it is designed.

Infos & Characteristics
The XTEND LOBSTER gloves exist in 2mm. These are made for mild winters, and for people prioritizing freedom of movement rather than warmth.
The MANERA team has been working on glove designs for two winters now, trying to provide the best comfort-to-warmth ratio possible. After testing different types of patterns, we came up with the LOBSTER as the best one.
Featuring less useless fabric and stitching than a classic design, the LOBSTER gloves are light and comfortable. Because most fingers stay together, you will feel much warmer than with traditional gloves. The separated thumb and index give a great grip and handling.
This new design will have you happy to bring the gloves out when winter kicks in!

XTEND Jersey
XTEND gloves are made from the same material as our XTEND wetsuits. They are therefore very flexible, which allows you to keep your hands warm without compromising your grip or your ability to move your fingers.
Light & Comfortable
Because the glove doesn’t go around every single finger, we use less fabric, less stitching, and the overall design is less bulky. It results in a glove that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for warmth.
Warm
Because most fingers stay together you will feel much warmer than with traditional gloves.
Good Grip & Handling
Having separated the thumb and index, we made sure that this new shape doesn’t compromise grip/handling, as a mitten could. Don’t stress about your take-off or how you will handle the kite bar and the wing handles, it won’t be different from traditional gloves.
We have also added a puller inside to pull these on easily.
DESIGNED IN 3D
When the industry standard is to develop 2D patterns and try to fit it on a 3D body, we decided to break new ground and take the opposite direction. We use computer design to model good-fitted gloves in 3D, then we employ an innovative software that converts it into a precise 2D pattern for the factory.
It creates a natural, second-skin fit that makes the MANERA gloves stand out.
- A GOOD FIT MEANS EVERYTHING -
Warmth: No water entry, no air pocket.
Durability: The neoprene is only stretched when moving.
Comfort: No over tight areas, comfortable armpits/crotch.
Style: Folds will never be fashionable.

Recycled jerseys
MAGMA
This model features a 83% recycled nylon outside jersey and a 100% recycled nylon inside jersey.
It helps reduce waste as well as limit the production of new raw material.

It helps reduce waste as well as limit the production of new raw material.
Aqua glue
The glue that binds the jersey fabrics to the internal neoprene foam is now water-based instead of solvent-based.
This removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs), thus providing a healthier working environment for employees and a cleaner wetsuit against your skin.
Dope Dyed Yarn
Dyeing the fabric consumes a lot of water, so the threads that make up our fabrics are dyed before being woven. This considerably reduces water usage while reducing energy consumption and water pollution.
For other colors, SHEICO has invested in a new generation of dyeing machines which consume 60% less water.
*Only on our black models.
Solar energy
The energy that our suppliers use is a crucial part of a brand’s carbon emissions. Having an eco-design is useless if your product is made using non-renewable energy.
Therefore, SHEICO factories are equipped with solar panels to limit the use of fossil fuels, generating around 6,038,486kWh per year.
Compostable/biodegradable packaging
We must protect our wetsuits from any contact with humidity or the sun so that they preserve their qualities when they arrive in the shop. Shipping wetsuits without a proper protection could cause irreparable damages to the neoprene.
Consequently, we have been working to find the best alternative to classic plastic polybags:
- A recyclable "pizza box" made of 70% recycled cardboard.
- A compostable/recyclable bioplastic bag (PLA).
- Compostable/recyclable bioplastic (PLA) anti-crease tubes.
