Sheet updated September 2026
The Manera Wetshirt Sunshell long sleeve is Manera's ultimate session top. It protects you from the sun and blocks the wind, all without needing a neoprene top. Manera designed it for sun protection, featuring a woven fabric that blocks the wind and a brushed interior that retains warmth. The fabric offers four-way stretch and is quick-drying. Its loose, t-shirt-like cut is perfect for wearing alone in summer or as an extra layer under a wetsuit during mid-season. Available in five sizes, from XS to XL.
KEY INFORMATION
MANERA WETSHIRT SUNSHELL LONG SLEEVE - Windproof Anti-UV Top
What we like
- Windproof: The fabric is woven to completely block the wind. This is a key advantage over a classic lycra, especially during longer sessions.
- Warm without neoprene: The brushed interior effectively retains body heat. Manera designed this as a lighter, faster-drying alternative to a neoprene top.
- Four-way stretch: The fabric moves with you in every direction. You can raise your arms without the top riding up.
- Quick-drying: This wetshirt dries quickly between sessions, whether it's in your trunk or hanging on your rearview mirror.
- T-shirt cut: This loose, comfortable fit is perfect for wearing alone on the beach or on the water. It's not a second skin.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
What a Wetshirt Does Better Than a Lycra
A lycra protects you from the sun and chafing. The Sunshell does that, and it adds two crucial features: a woven fabric that blocks the wind, and a plush interior that retains warmth. On a windy body of water, you'll immediately feel the difference when you stop to adjust a kite or get back on your board. Manera describes it as the ideal way to stay warm without needing a neoprene top.
How to Wear It
Wear it alone, long-sleeved, for summer sessions when the sun is strong and the wind brings a chill. For mid-season, layer it under a shorty wetsuit or a 3/2 mm to add a few degrees of warmth without changing wetsuits. The cut is loose, like a t-shirt, so choose your usual top size. It rinses easily with fresh water and dries quickly.

It's for anyone who rides in summer or mid-season, whether kiteboarding, winging, SUPing, or surfing. It's perfect for those who want sun protection without getting cold when the wind picks up. This is a session top, not a casual garment.
The cut is loose, like a t-shirt. Choose your usual top size, from XS to XL. If you plan to wear it under a wetsuit, stick to your regular size; the fabric is stretchy.
