Full details
The Jobe Perth Shorty 3/2MM Wetsuit is an ideal choice for water sports enthusiasts seeking a balance of core warmth and freedom of movement. Designed for recreational users, it utilizes 3mm neoprene on the chest and back to protect your vitals, while 2mm limb panels ensure you retain full agility in the water. While it offers excellent durability for its class, users should note that as a shorty wetsuit, it is best suited for warmer water conditions rather than extreme cold-weather swimming.

FAQs
Can I machine wash the Jobe Perth Shorty?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit. Always hand wash with fresh water and air dry.
What does 3/2mm mean?
This refers to the neoprene thickness; the suit is 3mm thick in the torso for warmth and 2mm thick in the arms and legs for flexibility.
Is this suit good for winter swimming?
No, this is a shorty wetsuit designed for warmer summer water temperatures. It does not provide enough coverage for cold weather.
How should the wetsuit fit?
It should fit like a second skin without being overly restrictive. It should not have large gaps or folds of fabric.
What is the benefit of flatlock seams?
Flatlock seams lay flat against the skin to minimize rubbing and chafing compared to traditional overlapping seams.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking
Rinse the zipper thoroughly with fresh water to remove sand or salt crystals and apply a specialized wax lubricant if necessary.
Skin irritation from seams
Ensure the suit fits properly; if the irritation persists, consider using an anti-chafe balm on pressure points like the neck or underarms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Jobe Perth Shorty maintains its performance, follow these guidelines:
Setup
- Ensure the suit is dry before attempting to pull it on to reduce friction.
- Step into the leg openings first, pulling the suit up over your hips before inserting your arms.
- Pull the zipper up smoothly using the attached leash.
Care Instructions
- Rinse: Always rinse your wetsuit with fresh, cold water immediately after every use to remove salt, chlorine, and sand.
- Dry: Hang the suit on a wide, plastic hanger in the shade. Never leave it in direct sunlight, as UV rays will degrade the neoprene over time.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Do not fold the suit tightly, as this can create permanent creases in the neoprene material.
