Product Information
Full details
The Jobe Perth Shorty is an ideal wetsuit for water sports enthusiasts who prioritize a balance of thermal protection and mobility. Designed with 3mm neoprene on core areas for warmth and 2mm panels on the limbs for flexibility, it is perfect for active use in varied water conditions, though its short-sleeve and short-leg design means it is best suited for warmer water temperatures rather than extreme cold.

FAQs
Can I use this for surfing?
Yes, it is excellent for warm-water surfing, though it provides less protection against reef or board wax scrapes than a full suit.
How do I choose the right size?
The fit should be snug but not restrictive. Refer to the size chart for waist and chest measurements to ensure the best performance.
Is the back zipper waterproof?
The zipper is designed for easy entry and is not fully watertight, so some minor water entry is expected during heavy activity.
Can I machine wash this wetsuit?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit as it will destroy the neoprene and seam integrity.
How long will the suit last?
With proper rinsing and shade-drying, the suit can last several seasons, depending on the frequency of use.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the back
Ensure the suit is pulled up high enough to remove tension from the back area, or use the attached zipper pull cord to maintain a straight angle.
Water flushing into the suit
Ensure the neck and limb openings are sitting flush against the skin; if they are loose, you may need a smaller size.
Neoprene feels stiff or brittle
This is often caused by salt buildup; perform a deeper rinse using a mild wetsuit-safe cleaner.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent balance of warmth and flexibility
- Easy to put on and take off due to back zipper
- Reinforced seams ensure long-term durability
- Low-profile flatlock seams minimize skin irritation
Cons
- Not suitable for use in very cold water environments
- Short leg and arm design offers limited UV protection compared to full suits
- Back zipper requires some flexibility to reach and close independently
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Jobe Perth Shorty, always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Avoid leaving the suit to dry in direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene material over time; instead, hang it inside-out on a wide hanger in a shaded, well-ventilated area. When putting on the suit, ensure you do not pull aggressively on the neoprene panels to avoid nail tears. Store the suit flat or on a specialized wetsuit hanger rather than folding it to prevent permanent creases in the material.
