Product Information
Full details
The Jobe Perth Shorty is an excellent choice for watersports enthusiasts looking for a balance of thermal protection and freedom of movement. Designed for comfort during recreational water activities, its 3mm and 2mm neoprene construction keeps the core warm while allowing agility; however, its shorty design means it is best suited for warmer water conditions rather than cold-weather exposure.

FAQs
Can I machine wash the Jobe Perth Shorty?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit as it will permanently damage the neoprene and adhesive properties.
What does 3|2mm mean?
It refers to the neoprene thickness. The 3mm panels are used in the core area for warmth, and the 2mm panels are used in high-movement areas for flexibility.
Is this suitable for scuba diving?
This shorty is designed primarily for recreational surface watersports. It is not recommended for deep-water diving where higher thermal protection is required.
How should the fit feel?
A wetsuit should fit snugly against your skin like a second layer. If it is too loose, water will pool inside, making it feel heavy and cold.
What is the best way to get it on?
Put your feet through the leg openings first, pull it up to your waist, and then work your arms through. Ensure the zipper is aligned before pulling the cord.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to pull up or down
Check the zipper teeth for trapped sand or salt. Rinse with fresh water and apply a small amount of zipper wax or silicone-based lubricant.
Signs of wear on seams
While flatlock seams are durable, avoid sharp objects. If seams start to fray, use neoprene glue or repair tape for minor touch-ups.
Suit feels stiff or brittle
This is often due to salt accumulation. Soak the suit in fresh water for an hour to loosen salt and restore the neoprene's natural elasticity.

- Reinforced internal seams for extended durability

- Limited coverage compared to a full-length wetsuit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Jobe Perth Shorty lasts as long as possible, follow these care instructions:
- Rinse After Use: Always rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water after each use in salt or chlorinated water to remove debris and salt crystals.
- Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry in a shaded area. Never leave it in direct sunlight, as UV rays can damage the neoprene material over time.
- Storage: Store the suit flat or on a thick, plastic wetsuit hanger to prevent creasing and shoulder stretching.
- Zipper Maintenance: Keep the zipper clean of sand and grit. If the zipper becomes stiff, use a dedicated wax or lubricant for wetsuit zippers.
