ALT stands for « Alternative ». Manera built the ALT Meteor 4/3 Chest Zip as a greener alternative to conventional wetsuits, with performance in mind. It features a 100% natural YULEX rubber. Both inside and outside jerseys as well as their inside fleece are recycled, and the wetsuit features all their other standard sustainable processes. The performances of the ALT are close to a MAGMA’s. Manera believes the ALT represents a new generation of high-performance wetsuits that has a more reasonable impact on the planet.

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.
