FAQs
What is the main difference between the 3mm and 2mm panels?
The 3mm neoprene on the chest and back provides more insulation and warmth, while the thinner 2mm panels on the arms and legs offer greater flexibility and freedom of movement for activities requiring more range of motion.
Is this wetsuit suitable for cold water diving?
This 3|2mm shorty wetsuit is designed for mild to cool conditions and general watersports. For cold water diving, a thicker wetsuit or a drysuit would be more appropriate.
How do I clean my Jobe Sofia Shorty?
After each use, rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water. If a deeper clean is needed, use a mild wetsuit shampoo and hand wash. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents.
What does 'limestone-based neoprene' mean?
It means that a portion of the neoprene material is derived from limestone, which is considered a more environmentally sustainable source compared to traditional petroleum-based neoprene.
How should I dry and store my wetsuit?
Dry your wetsuit by hanging it on a wide, padded hanger away from direct sunlight. Store it in a cool, dry place, ideally un-folded or loosely rolled to prevent creases.
What is the purpose of the inner reinforcement tape?
The inner reinforcement tape is placed at stress points to add extra durability and prevent the seams from tearing over time, extending the life of the wetsuit.
Can I wear this wetsuit for long periods?
Yes, the feminine fit and flexible materials are designed for comfort during extended use in suitable water temperatures. Ensure proper rinsing and drying to maintain material integrity.
Troubleshooting
Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the size chart. Neoprene can take a few wears to break in. If it remains uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size.
Water entering through seams.
Check if the seams are intact and if the wetsuit fits snugly around the neck, wrists, and ankles. Small amounts of water flushing are normal, but continuous entry may indicate a fit issue or seam damage.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Rinse the zipper area with fresh water. Ensure no sand or debris is caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant if needed.
Material has lost its elasticity.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat, as this can degrade the neoprene. Ensure proper rinsing and drying after each use. This issue may also indicate the wetsuit has reached the end of its lifespan.
