Zoot Manta Sleeveless Wetsuit

A sleeveless wetsuit is primarily about maximizing shoulder mobility and temperature regulation. By removing the sleeves, you eliminate any restriction around the shoulders, which can be beneficial if you prefer a more natural feel during your stroke or if you are swimming in warmer open-water conditions.

AQUAlift panels are strategically placed to provide extra buoyancy around your hips and core. This helps lift your lower body higher in the water, correcting your body position to reduce drag and keep you in a more efficient, streamlined posture.

The Manta is designed for any athlete who values freedom of movement and buoyancy. While its features are performance-oriented, the design is intuitive and comfortable, making it a solid choice for both beginners looking for their first suit and experienced swimmers who want to prioritize shoulder range of motion.

The SCS (Super Composite Skin) coating is a specialized surface treatment that significantly reduces friction as you move through the water. This allows the suit to glide more efficiently, helping you maintain speed with less effort.

The DORSALflex zipper system is designed to provide more stretch and flexibility across the back panel compared to standard zipper constructions. This ensures that when you reach forward during your stroke, the suit moves with you rather than pulling or restricting your upper body.

To keep the nylon lining in good condition, always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cool water after every use to remove salt or chlorine. Avoid drying it in direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene, and store it flat or on a wide hanger to maintain its shape.
