ZOOT Manta Wetsuit - Men's Marine Blue, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I like this suit because it feels fast without feeling stiff. The shoulder panels move well, the buoyancy balance is spot on, and the SCS coating really does make a difference in glide. It’s a great step up for athletes who want more performance without jumping into the highest-priced suits.""We turn to the Manta Wetsuit when we want a balance of speed, buoyancy, and flexibility that keeps us moving smoothly through open water. With full-body Yamamoto neoprene and a complete SCS hydrophobic coating, the suit slices cleanly through the water, reducing drag and helping us settle into a strong, sustainable stroke. The premium materials feel sleek and responsive, giving us a sense of lift and forward glide that builds confidence from the first pull. AQUAlift buoyancy panels raise the hips and legs into an efficient swim posture, helping us maintain alignment even when fatigue sets in. GLIDEflex chest technology expands naturally with each breath, letting us stay relaxed while building rhythm across long distances. Stretch neoprene throughout the shoulders and arms allows full extension without resistance, keeping our stroke unencumbered in both warm-ups and race-pace efforts. Reinforced seams and a durable YKK stainless zipper make the suit reliable for repeated open-water training, and panel shaping enhances overall mobility and comfort. For swimmers who want the lift and speed of a performance-driven wetsuit with versatile fit and feel, the Manta brings premium features into a confident, adaptable package."
