Product Information
Full details
This Jobe Sofia Shorty wetsuit is designed for women seeking comfort and flexibility during watersports. Its primary benefit is providing adequate thermal protection for warmer water conditions without restricting movement. A potential caveat is that the 2mm panel thickness may not be sufficient for very cold water temperatures. Key features include a blend of neoprene and nylon for durability and stretch, flatlock seams for reduced chafing, and a back zipper for easy entry.

FAQs
What is the primary material composition of this wetsuit?
The wetsuit is made from 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon.
Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water diving?
This 3|2MM wetsuit is best suited for moderate water temperatures. For very cold conditions, a thicker wetsuit is recommended.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Refer to the sizing chart and measure yourself carefully. The wetsuit should fit snugly without restricting breathing or circulation.
Can I machine wash this wetsuit?
No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash with cold water and mild soap, then drip dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
What does the '3|2MM' designation mean?
It refers to the thickness of the neoprene: 3mm in the main body panels (chest and back) for warmth, and 2mm in the thinner panels (limbs) for flexibility.
How durable are the seams?
The wetsuit features durable flatlock seams, and there is strengthening tape inside to enhance seam durability.
What is the purpose of the back zipper?
The back zipper is designed for fast and convenient entry and exit from the wetsuit.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try performing a few stretches while wearing it to help the material conform to your body shape.
Chafing or irritation from seams
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before wearing. Consider wearing a rash guard underneath for an extra layer of protection.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of paraffin wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Wetsuit doesn't feel warm enough
This model is designed for moderate conditions. For colder water, consider a thicker wetsuit (e.g., 4/3mm or 5/4mm) or add a thermal rash guard.
