Product Information
Full details
The Jobe Perth Shorty 3/2MM Wetsuit is designed for water sports enthusiasts who require a balance of thermal protection and mobility. This suit is ideal for those engaging in activities like paddleboarding, jet skiing, or recreational swimming in moderate water temperatures. While it offers excellent core warmth and unrestricted limb movement, potential buyers should note that as a shorty style suit, it leaves the arms and lower legs exposed, making it less suitable for extremely cold conditions.

FAQs
What does 3/2mm mean?
It means the suit uses 3mm thick neoprene on the torso for heat retention and 2mm thick neoprene on the limbs to allow for better flexibility.
Can I use this suit in a swimming pool?
Yes, but be aware that chlorinated pool water can break down neoprene faster than fresh or salt water. Ensure you rinse it thoroughly after every pool use.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
A wetsuit should feel tight, almost like a second skin. It should not be painful or restrict your ability to take a full breath.
Is this wetsuit suitable for winter swimming?
No, the Perth Shorty is designed for moderate temperatures. For winter, a full-length wetsuit with higher thickness is recommended.
How do I store the wetsuit long-term?
Store it flat or on a thick-shouldered hanger in a cool, dark closet to prevent the neoprene from drying out or losing its shape.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the back
Ensure the internal flap is flat against your skin and not caught in the zipper teeth. Use the attached pull-cord with a steady, smooth motion.
Water flushing through the suit
This usually indicates the fit is too large. Check the size chart to ensure you are wearing the correct size for your build.
Neoprene material feeling stiff
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt crystals, which can stiffen the material. Allow it to air dry fully away from heat sources.
Pros and Cons

- Easy to put on and take off due to back zipper design
- Reinforced internal tape increases suit lifespan
- Comfortable flatlock seam construction prevents chafing
Cons
- Limited coverage compared to full-length wetsuits
- Not suitable for very cold water conditions
- Requires proper sizing for an effective fit
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the performance and life of your Jobe Perth Shorty, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the suit fits snugly against your skin without restricting your breathing or movement. A loose suit will allow too much water circulation, reducing its thermal effectiveness.
- Rinsing: Always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use, especially after exposure to salt or chlorinated water.
- Drying: Hang the suit to dry on a wide plastic hanger away from direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade neoprene over time. Avoid folding the suit while wet to prevent permanent creases.
- Storage: Once completely dry, store the suit in a cool, dry, and dark place to maintain the elasticity of the fabric.
