Product Information
Full details
The Jobe Perth Shorty 3/2mm Wetsuit is designed for water sports enthusiasts who require a balance of core warmth and freedom of movement. It is an ideal choice for stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, or summer surfing, offering a durable construction that withstands frequent use. One caveat is that as a shorty-style suit, it does not provide full limb coverage, making it best suited for warmer water temperatures rather than extreme cold.

FAQs
What is the primary difference between the 3mm and 2mm panels?
The 3mm neoprene is thicker to provide more warmth for the core, while the 2mm panels are thinner to allow for better range of motion.
Is this wetsuit suitable for winter surfing?
No, this is a shorty-style suit designed for warmer water temperatures. A full-length wetsuit would be required for winter conditions.
How should I store my wetsuit?
Store it on a wide-shoulder hanger in a cool, dry, and dark place away from direct sunlight.
Can I wash the suit in a washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash or tumble dry your wetsuit as it will damage the neoprene and the seams.
Why does my suit feel tight?
A wetsuit should fit snugly like a second skin to ensure it works properly; however, if it restricts breathing, you may need a larger size.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the back
Ensure the suit is pulled up high and snug against the crotch before zipping, and use the pull cord with a steady, upward motion.
Skin irritation or chafing
Check if the suit is too loose, allowing for excessive friction, or rinse thoroughly to ensure no sand or salt crystals are trapped in the seams.
Pros and Cons

- Shorty style leaves arms and lower legs exposed to the sun
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your Jobe Perth Shorty, ensure you step into the suit carefully to avoid stretching the neoprene with fingernails or jewelry. When closing the back zipper, pull it up smoothly to prevent catching the inner lining. After each use, rinse the wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cool water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. Always hang the suit to dry on a wide, plastic hanger in the shade, as direct sunlight can degrade the neoprene over time. Never store the suit while it is still damp or folded, as this can lead to odor and material breakdown.
