FAQs
What water temperature is this wetsuit suitable for?
The Jobe Sofia Shorty 3|2MM is generally recommended for water temperatures between 18°C and 25°C (65°F and 77°F). This can vary based on individual tolerance and air temperature.
How do I clean my wetsuit?
Rinse your wetsuit with fresh, cold water after every use. If a deeper clean is needed, hand wash gently with a mild soap and allow it to air dry completely away from direct sunlight.
Can I machine wash this wetsuit?
No, machine washing and tumble drying are not recommended as they can damage the neoprene and seams. Always follow the hand-wash and air-dry instructions.
What does the '3|2MM' refer to?
This indicates the thickness of the neoprene. '3MM' refers to the thicker neoprene used on the chest and back for core warmth, while '2MM' refers to the thinner neoprene used on the arms and legs for flexibility.
Is this wetsuit suitable for very cold weather?
This 3|2mm wetsuit provides moderate warmth. For colder conditions, consider a thicker wetsuit (e.g., 4/3mm or 5/4mm) or layering with additional thermal protection.
How should I store my wetsuit when not in use?
Store your wetsuit in a cool, dry place. It's best to hang it on a wide hanger to avoid creases or fold it loosely. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
What is the material composition?
The Jobe Sofia Shorty is made of 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the Jobe sizing chart. Neoprene can feel snug when dry but should offer flexibility when wet.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Rinse the zipper area with fresh water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for wetsuit zippers if the issue persists.
Water leakage at seams or edges.
This is normal for a 3/2mm wetsuit as some water flushes through. If significant leakage occurs, check that the zipper is fully closed and that the neck, wrist, and ankle seals are properly positioned against the skin.
Material smells musty.
Rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh water and allow it to air dry completely in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Store only when fully dry.
