Full details
The Jobe Perth Shorty 3/2MM is an ideal choice for water sports enthusiasts seeking a balance of thermal protection and mobility in warmer water conditions. Featuring a strategic neoprene thickness design, this wetsuit provides core warmth while maintaining excellent flexibility for active movement. While it excels in comfort and durability, users should note that the shorty design leaves limbs exposed, making it best suited for temperate environments rather than extreme cold.

FAQs
What does 3/2MM mean?
It means the suit has 3mm neoprene on the chest and back for warmth, and 2mm neoprene on the extremities for better flexibility.
Can I use this in a chlorinated pool?
Yes, but ensure you rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh water afterward to prevent the chlorine from breaking down the neoprene.
How should the wetsuit fit?
The suit should fit like a second skin without being restrictive. There should be no large pockets of water or loose fabric.
Is this suitable for winter surfing?
No, this is a shorty wetsuit. It is designed for temperate water and will not provide enough coverage for cold-water activities.
How do I remove salt and grime?
Simply rinse the suit inside and out with cool, fresh water and let it drip dry away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping the back entry.
Ensure the suit is pulled high up on your shoulders and torso before pulling the zipper. If it sticks, check for trapped fabric or salt buildup in the teeth of the zipper.
Skin irritation or chafing.
Check that the suit fits snugly but not overly tight. Consider using a neoprene-safe anti-chafe balm on sensitive areas before wearing.
Pros and Cons

- Easy to put on and take off due to back zip design

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Jobe Perth Shorty lasts, rinse it with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, sand, or chlorine. Hang the suit to dry in a shaded area; avoid direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade neoprene over time. When putting the suit on, avoid using sharp fingernails near the seams to prevent accidental tears. Store the suit flat or on a thick hanger to maintain its structural integrity, avoiding thin wire hangers that can deform the shoulders.
