Product Information

Full details

The Jobe Perth 3/2mm Back Zip Full Length Wetsuit in Blue is designed for water sports enthusiasts seeking flexibility and warmth in moderate conditions. Its key benefit is providing a comfortable and protective layer for activities like surfing, paddleboarding, or kayaking, with a quick-entry back zipper. A potential caveat is that the 3/2mm thickness is best suited for water temperatures above 15°C (60°F). This wetsuit features 3mm neoprene on the chest and back for core warmth, and 2mm on other panels for enhanced mobility, durable flatlock seams, and reinforced knee pads for longevity.

FAQs

What is the ideal water temperature for this wetsuit?

The Jobe Perth 3/2mm wetsuit is recommended for water temperatures between 15°C and 20°C (60°F to 70°F). This thickness is suitable for moderate conditions.

How do I put on the wetsuit correctly?

Start by putting your feet through the leg openings, then pull it up over your legs. Slide your arms into the sleeves and pull the suit up over your torso. Finally, reach back to pull up the zipper and secure it.

Can this wetsuit be used for diving?

While it offers warmth and protection, this 3/2mm wetsuit is generally best suited for surface water sports. For deeper or colder diving conditions, a thicker wetsuit or a drysuit would be more appropriate.

How durable are the knee pads?

The knee pads are designed to be protective and strong, enhancing the durability of the wetsuit in high-wear areas. They provide extra cushioning and abrasion resistance.

What is the difference between 3/2mm and other wetsuit thicknesses?

The numbers refer to the thickness of the neoprene. 3/2mm means the chest and back panels are 3mm thick for warmth, while the arms and legs are 2mm thick for flexibility. Thicker suits (e.g., 4/3mm, 5/4mm) offer more warmth but are less flexible and are for colder water.

How often should I wash my wetsuit?

It is best to rinse your wetsuit with fresh water after every use. A more thorough wash with mild soap or wetsuit shampoo is recommended periodically, especially after prolonged use or if it develops an odor.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not restrict breathing or circulation. Refer to the Jobe sizing chart.

Water leakage around seams or zipper

Check that the zipper is fully closed and the flap behind it is correctly positioned. Ensure the suit fits snugly; gaps can lead to leaks. Flatlock seams are designed to minimize this, but a proper fit is crucial.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Rinse the zipper area with fresh water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant specifically designed for wetsuits.

Neoprene material feels stiff after drying

Ensure the wetsuit was rinsed thoroughly with fresh water and dried out of direct sunlight. Occasional use of a neoprene conditioner may help, but avoid harsh chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers a good balance of warmth and flexibility.
  • Durable construction with reinforced knee pads.
  • Easy to put on and take off due to the back zipper.
  • Suitable for a range of water sports in mild conditions.
  • Comfortable fit with flatlock seams.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for very cold water.
  • Back zip can be slightly more difficult to manage alone compared to a front zip.
  • Limited color options compared to other models.
  • Nylon blend means less stretch than higher neoprene content suits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a full-body wetsuit and requires no specific setup beyond ensuring it fits correctly. The back zipper should be operated carefully to avoid snagging.

Compatibility: The Jobe Perth 3/2mm wetsuit is designed for general water sports and is compatible with a wide range of equipment including surfboards, paddleboards, kayaks, and wakeboards. It is intended for use in water temperatures suitable for its 3/2mm neoprene thickness.

Care:

  1. Rinse thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Hand wash gently with a mild wetsuit shampoo or a very mild detergent if necessary. Do not machine wash.
  3. Dry flat or hang on a wide, padded hanger away from direct sunlight. Avoid wringing or twisting.
  4. Store in a cool, dry place, folded loosely or on a hanger, avoiding prolonged creasing.
