SEAFARER BIKISUIT - 2.2
The Bikisuit is not a swimsuit, let me say that again!
The Bikisuit exclusively employs premium 2mm neoprene and blind stitched seams because it's annoying to get cold in the heat. The Bikisuit, when paired with the legendary MANERA fit, keeps you toasty on cool summer days.
DESIGNED IN 3D
We chose to go against the grain and create fresh designs instead of following the industry standard, which calls for creating 2D patterns and attempting to fit them onto a 3D body. We use computer design to create 3D models of well-fitting wetsuits, and then we use cutting-edge software to translate those models into an exact 2D pattern that can be produced in the factory.
The MANERA wetsuits are distinguished by their natural, second-skin fit.
- 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.
Strategic structure
Some areas are very sensitive to friction, tensions and tearing. All MANERA wetsuits have been designed with a demanding brief including:
. Avoiding seams in tensions area, to maximize flexibility and strength.
. Making sure the seams are stretched vertically and not sideways.
. Removing seams from friction areas, which avoids rash and increases stretch capacity.
. Reinforcing strategic parts and panels right where it needs to be.
Sealing prints
Ankles and wrists become more rigid after sealing prints. It features a joint function that keeps water out and keeps the panels on the arms and legs in place.
Fusion cut
To make it thinner and more aesthetically pleasing, the points of the arms and legs are fused together from separate neoprene layers. By covering it, it keeps the interior neoprene foam (AIR FOAM) safe.
GBS Seams
After adhering, the neoprene layers are "blind-stitched" (partially through the neoprene layer with a needle). Not only is this style of stitching completely waterproof, but it also has a lot of flexibility.
Triplex SEAFARER
The Triplex SEAFARER is designed to be reliable and efficient.
