Description
ALT stands for Alternative
The Manera ALT Meteor has been built as a greener alternative to conventional wetsuits, with performance in mind, it features a 100% natural YULEX rubber.
Unlike finite resources like oil and limestone, natural rubber is a renewable resource. Directly tapped from FSC-certified hevea forests without cutting them down, it ensures a long-term supply stability as well as a drastically reduced environmental impact.
All the fleeces are recycled, including both inside and outside jerseys, as well as the inside fleece is recycled, and the wetsuit features all Manera’s other standard sustainable processes.
The performances of the Manera ALT is close to a MAGMA’s. The ALT represents a new generation of high-performance wetsuits that has a more reasonable impact on the planet.
All Manera wetsuits have been designed with a demanding brief to protect areas sensitive to friction, tensions and tearing. These include:
- Maximizing flexibility and strength by avoiding seams in tensions area.
- Making sure the seams are stretched vertically and not sideways.
- Increasing stretch capacity and reducing rash by removing seams from friction areas.
- Reinforcing strategic parts and panels right where they need it most.
Features
Designed in 3D
When the industry standard is to develop 2D patterns and try to fit it on a 3D body, MANERA decided to break new ground and take the opposite direction. They use computer design to model good-fitted gloves in 3D, then they 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.
Sealing Prints
Sealing prints make the ankles and wrists stiffer. It has a joint role that keeps the water away and maintains the arms and legs panels in place.
Back Knee Emboss
The back of the knees is an area that requires specific care. The BACK KNEE EMBOSS helps the neoprene to bend more naturally for greater comfort during flexion of the knees.
Water Strainer
A Wetsuit leg filled up with water is a very uncomfortable issue: The MANERA water strainer panel is here to prevent it. The leaky + perforated neoprene drains the water out of your leg instantly to let you continue the session in the best possible conditions.
SD² Tape 2.0
The neoprene layers are glued together and then “blind-stitched” which means the needle does not go through the neoprene layer completely. Then the SD² tape is welded to the seam by an air heater machine. This innovative process brings more durability, waterproofness and flexibility to their wetsuits.
Triple ALT
The Triplex ALT is designed for warmth.
- Re-flex skin / Protection
- Air-foam / Insulation
- Magma Recycled / Warmth & sustainability
These three materials are brought together to create a warm, durable and comfortable wetsuit.
