The Jobe Perth 3/2mm Back Zip Full Length Wetsuit in Grey is designed for water sports enthusiasts seeking warmth and flexibility. Its primary benefit is the balance of neoprene thickness for insulation without restricting movement. A potential caveat is the back zip, which, while allowing for fast entry, might be less preferred by some users compared to a chest zip for certain activities. This wetsuit features 3 mm neoprene on the chest and back for core warmth, with 2 mm on other panels for enhanced flexibility, a quick-entry back zipper, durable flatlock seams, and protective knee pads, constructed from 90% neoprene and 10% nylon.

This wetsuit is generally suitable for water temperatures between 15°C and 22°C (59°F to 72°F). However, individual comfort levels can vary, and factors like wind chill and activity intensity should also be considered.
Refer to the Jobe sizing chart. A proper fit should be snug like a second skin, without any significant bunching or restriction of movement. Measure your chest, waist, and inseam carefully.
While it offers warmth and protection, this 3/2mm wetsuit is primarily designed for surface water sports. For scuba diving, especially in colder waters, a thicker wetsuit or a drysuit is generally recommended for adequate thermal protection and durability.
Flatlock seams are known for their strength and durability, making them suitable for active water sports. They lie flat against the skin, which can help reduce chafing, although they are not as watertight or flexible as glued and blind-stitched (GBS) seams.
A back-zip wetsuit typically offers easier entry and exit. However, the zipper line can sometimes allow for more water entry compared to a chest-zip design, which often provides a more streamlined and watertight seal around the torso.
It's best to rinse your wetsuit with fresh water after every use. A more thorough wash with a specialized wetsuit shampoo is recommended periodically, especially if the suit develops odors or after heavy use.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the fit around the shoulders, crotch, and knees. Minor restriction can be normal initially, but significant tightness may indicate the need for a larger size. Ensure zippers are fully closed.
Ensure the zipper is pulled up completely and the flap behind it is properly aligned. Check for any debris caught in the zipper. For prolonged immersion, some minor seepage is normal with back zip designs.
Rinse the suit thoroughly to remove any manufacturing residues. Ensure the seams lie flat against the skin. Consider wearing a rash guard underneath. A thin layer of wetsuit lubricant or balm on sensitive areas can also help.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and heat, which can degrade neoprene. Always rinse thoroughly with fresh water after use and dry out of direct sun. Do not use harsh detergents or machine wash/dry.
