Product Information
Full details
The Jobe Perth Shorty 3/2MM is designed for water sports enthusiasts who require a balance of warmth and mobility in transitional water temperatures. It is ideal for users engaging in activities like jet skiing, wakeboarding, or general swimming, offering a streamlined fit that prioritizes core protection while maintaining freedom of movement in the limbs. A primary caveat to consider is that as a shorty wetsuit, it does not provide full-arm or full-leg coverage, making it less suitable for extremely cold conditions.

FAQs
Can I use this wetsuit in a swimming pool?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water afterward to remove chlorine, which can break down the neoprene material.
Is this suit machine washable?
No, you should only hand wash it with fresh water and mild soap designed for neoprene if necessary.
How should the wetsuit fit?
A wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin without restricting your breathing or preventing a full range of motion.
Does the 3/2mm rating mean the whole suit is that thick?
No, it means the chest and back are 3mm thick for warmth, while the arms and legs or side panels are 2mm thick for flexibility.
Can I dry this in the sun?
Direct sunlight can cause neoprene to fade and become brittle; always dry your wetsuit in a well-ventilated, shaded area.
Troubleshooting
Difficult to zip up alone
Use a longer piece of cord attached to the zipper pull or ask a partner for assistance to ensure a smooth, full closure.
Stiff neoprene after storage
Soak the suit in lukewarm fresh water for 15 minutes to rehydrate the neoprene and restore flexibility.
Skin irritation at the neck
Ensure the suit is pulled up fully and that no folds in the fabric are pressing against the skin; using a non-petroleum based anti-chafe balm can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Jobe Perth Shorty remains in peak condition, always rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after every use, especially after exposure to saltwater or chlorine. Dry the suit in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade neoprene over time. When dressing, avoid pulling the neoprene with your fingernails to prevent tears; instead, use the pads of your fingers to gently slide the suit into place. Ensure the back zipper is fully zipped and the pull-tab is secured before starting your activity.
