Product Information
Full details
The Jobe Perth Shorty 3/2MM is designed for water sports enthusiasts who require a balance of core insulation and limb mobility. Its primary benefit is the strategic use of 3mm neoprene for chest and back warmth combined with 2mm panels for flexible movement during activities like paddleboarding or wakeboarding. Please note that as a shorty wetsuit, it leaves the arms and lower legs exposed, making it best suited for warmer water conditions or temperate summer days.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this suit suitable for winter swimming?
No, this is a shorty wetsuit with exposed limbs and is intended for warmer water conditions, not winter or cold-water environments.
How should the wetsuit fit?
It should fit like a second skin without being restrictive. It should be snug enough to prevent excessive water movement inside the suit.
Can I use this in chlorinated pools?
Yes, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water immediately after use, as chlorine can degrade neoprene over time.
What is the difference between 3mm and 2mm panels?
The 3mm panels are thicker to provide more warmth for the core, while the 2mm panels provide less resistance to allow for better range of motion.
How do I identify my size?
Refer to the specific chest and waist measurements provided by Jobe. A 36-inch waist UK size is standard for this specific model.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to pull up or down
Check for sand or debris in the zipper track and rinse with fresh water. Ensure the interior fabric flap is not snagging the zipper.
Wetsuit feels loose or cold water flushes through
Verify that you have selected the correct size; if the suit is too large, the neoprene cannot effectively insulate. Ensure the neck and arm openings are positioned correctly against the skin.
Visible wear on seam lines
While the suit features strengthening tape, inspect for deep tears. If minor peeling occurs, use specialized neoprene cement to reseal the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Jobe Perth Shorty remains in good condition, always rinse it with fresh, cool water after each use in saltwater or chlorinated pools. Allow it to air dry in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade the neoprene material over time. When storing, place it on a wide-shouldered hanger to prevent creases and maintain the integrity of the neoprene structure. Avoid using chemical detergents or high-heat drying methods, as these can strip the flexibility from the nylon and neoprene fabric.
