Men's Manta Sleeveless Wetsuit - Marine Blue
The all-new Manta Sleeveless delivers high-performance design with maximum freedom of movement. Built entirely from premium Yamamoto neoprene with full SCS hydrophobic coating, the Manta Sleeveless reduces drag and enhances durability while keeping the suit fast, sleek, and efficient. By removing the sleeves, this version provides unrestricted shoulder mobility and improved temperature regulation — perfect for athletes racing in warmer, wetsuit-legal conditions or for those who simply prefer the feel of open-arm swimming. AQUAlift buoyancy technology lifts the hips into the optimal body position, while GLIDEflex chest panels expand naturally with every breath, giving you the confidence to relax, breathe deeper, and maintain speed with ease.
WHO IS IT FOR?
The Manta Sleeveless is ideal for triathletes and open-water swimmers who want the performance benefits of Yamamoto neoprene and SCS coating, but with the added comfort and freedom of a sleeveless design. If you tend to overheat in full suits or desire unrestricted arm movement for a natural stroke, the Manta Sleeveless is your go-to. Combining premium materials, strategic buoyancy, and superior shoulder mobility, it’s the wetsuit that keeps you cool, confident, and fast from start to finish.

FIT TIPS
- Wetsuits should feel snug on land, they’ll loosen slightly once in the water
- Neoprene stretches as it warms up, so expect a more comfortable fit during your swim
- If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size for a performance fit
- Your suit should feel snug, but it should never restrict breathing or shoulder movement in the water. If it does, size up
- It’s normal to need help with the zipper — that’s a sign of a performance fit
- Use the pads of your fingers, not nails, to avoid damaging the neoprene

ONLY THE BEST PREMIUM JAPANESE NEOPRENE
Zoot only uses the very best neoprene in the world from the Yamamoto Corporation in Japan—the highest grade of rubber available. Yamamoto neoprene is limestone-based and has a different cell structure than the more commonly used petroleum-based neoprene. It is more flexible, more durable, and is better for the environment than traditional neoprene. Yamamoto neoprene absorbs very little water, making Zoot wetsuits naturally lighter, warmer, more flexible.
GLIDEflex Chest Technology
Engineered with carefully placed grooved neoprene panels, GLIDEflex is designed to expand and contract naturally with every breath. At the start of a race, many athletes experience restricted breathing or “panic breathing” when their chest feels compressed by a wetsuit. GLIDEflex solves this by allowing the suit to open as the lungs expand, reducing pressure on the chest and enabling deeper, more relaxed breaths. The result is improved oxygen intake, less fatigue, and greater confidence in the water — helping you settle quickly into your rhythm and maintain efficiency throughout the swim.
The result is a wetsuit engineered for powerful strokes, unrestricted breathing, and true race-day performance.
SCS NANO SPEED COATING
SCS (Super Composite Skin) is a hydrodynamic coating that reduces drag, helping the suit glide through the water more efficiently for faster swim speeds. Think of it as a high tech Teflon coating that repels water and protects your wetsuit by reducing the possibility of rips and tears. The Wikiwiki FLEX uses SCS NANO which is the most hydrodynamic and durable wetsuit coating available. Super Composite Skin Nano reduces the suit’s underwater coefficient of dynamic friction to 0.026. Less friction. Less drag. More speed.
DORSALFLEX ZIPPER
2mm of neoprene around the back zipper gives better stretch for improved lung expansion. Zoot's DORSALflex zipper construction allows the zipper panel to stretch with the body, eliminating the traditional restrictive feeling when zipping up.
OPTIMAL KICK DESIGN (OKD)
OKD is Zoot proprietary leg patterning that forms to the angle of your knee in the water and works with your anatomy rather than fighting it. OKD ensures increased kick velocity, frequency, and efficiency.
YKK ZIPPER
We only use YKK stainless steel zippers, which close from bottom to top. This makes opening the wetsuit and getting out much simpler, easier, and faster in transition.
