Product Information

Full details

The Jobe Perth 3/2mm Back Zip Full Length Wetsuit is designed for water sports enthusiasts seeking warmth and flexibility in moderate conditions. Its primary benefit is providing reliable insulation with 3mm neoprene on the chest and back, while allowing for ease of movement with 2mm panels. A potential consideration is the back zipper entry, which may require some practice for quick donning and doffing. Key features include durable flatlock seams for comfort and reinforced knee pads for added protection.

FAQs

What is the ideal water temperature for this 3/2mm wetsuit?

This wetsuit is generally suitable for water temperatures between 15°C and 20°C (59°F - 68°F). However, individual cold tolerance varies.

How do I put on the wetsuit with a back zip?

Step into the wetsuit, pull it up over your legs and torso. Reach back for the long zipper cord and pull it upwards to close the suit. Ensure the flap behind the zipper lies flat.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Always hand rinse with fresh water after use. If a deeper clean is necessary, use a mild wetsuit shampoo and cool water.

How durable are the knee pads?

The knee pads are designed to offer protective reinforcement against abrasion during activities like surfing or kneeling. Their durability depends on usage and care.

What is the material composition?

The wetsuit is made of 90% Neoprene and 10% Nylon, providing a balance of warmth, flexibility, and durability.

How should I store my wetsuit?

Store your wetsuit hanging on a wide hanger or loosely folded in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid long-term compression.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wetsuits should be snug but not constricting. Try a different size if discomfort persists.

Zipper is difficult to close or open.

Rinse the zipper area with fresh water. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for wetsuit zippers.

Leaking at seams or zipper.

Minor leaks might occur with wear. For significant leaks, check if the seams are intact or if the zipper needs repair/replacement. Ensure the wetsuit fits properly; a poor fit can cause flushing.

Wetsuit smells musty.

Rinse thoroughly with fresh water and allow to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight. Consider using a wetsuit-specific cleaner if the odor persists.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the integrity and lifespan of your wetsuit:

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Hand Wash (Optional): If a deeper clean is needed, use a mild wetsuit shampoo and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit on a wide, padded hanger (avoid wire hangers) in a shaded area. Do not expose to direct sunlight, as this can degrade the neoprene. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally hanging or loosely folded. Avoid prolonged storage in a compressed state.
  5. Zipper Care: Periodically clean the zipper and apply a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
