FAQs

What is the recommended water temperature for this wetsuit?

The Jobe Perth 3/2mm wetsuit is generally suitable for water temperatures between 15°C and 20°C (59°F and 68°F). This can vary based on individual cold tolerance and wind conditions.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the Jobe sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. Measure your chest, waist, and inseam accurately and compare them to the chart. A proper fit should be snug but not constricting.

Can I machine wash my wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the neoprene and seams. Always hand wash your wetsuit with fresh water and mild soap.

How long does a wetsuit typically last?

With proper care, a wetsuit can last several years. Factors like frequency of use, exposure to sun and chemicals, and correct storage influence its lifespan.

Is this wetsuit suitable for diving?

This 3/2mm wetsuit is generally too thin for recreational diving in most conditions. It is primarily designed for surface watersports where flexibility and moderate warmth are key.

What does 'Back Zip' mean for entry?

It means the main zipper is located on the back of the wetsuit. This design can offer a better seal against water entry compared to front zips, but may require assistance to zip and unzip.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Rinse the zipper area with fresh water. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have chosen the correct size according to the Jobe sizing chart. Neoprene can feel snug initially but should not restrict breathing or circulation.

Seams are coming apart

For minor seam issues, a specialized neoprene repair adhesive might be used. For significant damage, consult a professional repair service or consider replacement.

Foul odor persists after washing

Soak the wetsuit in a specialized wetsuit shampoo solution or a diluted vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 10 parts water) for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Ensure complete drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Jobe Perth wetsuit is ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, comfortable fit. The back zipper should be operated smoothly; pull the cord to open and close.

Compatibility: This wetsuit is designed for general watersports and is compatible with a wide range of boards, boats, and equipment. It functions best in water temperatures suitable for a 3/2mm neoprene thickness.

Care Instructions:

  • Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cool water to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
  • Hand Wash: If a deeper clean is needed, hand wash gently with a mild soap specifically designed for neoprene. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
  • Drying: Hang the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger away from direct sunlight or heat. Never put it in a dryer or iron it, as heat can damage the neoprene.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably hanging or loosely folded to avoid creases.
