Product Information
Full details
The Jobe Perth Shorty 3|2MM is a versatile wetsuit designed for water sports enthusiasts who require a balance of core thermal protection and limb mobility. Ideal for active users engaged in activities like paddleboarding, jet-skiing, or swimming, this suit features a strategic 3mm/2mm neoprene split for maximum performance. While its shorty design offers great freedom of movement, it is best suited for warmer water conditions rather than extreme cold-water environments.

FAQs
What does 3|2MM mean?
This refers to the thickness of the neoprene: 3mm on the chest and back for heat retention, and 2mm on the arms and legs for better flexibility.
Can I use this suit for cold water swimming?
The Perth Shorty is designed for temperate conditions. It may not provide enough insulation for extended periods in very cold water.
How should I store my wetsuit?
Store it on a wide hanger in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
Is the material chlorine-resistant?
While the suit is durable, frequent exposure to chlorine can shorten the lifespan of the neoprene, so always rinse it thoroughly with fresh water.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the manufacturer's size guide based on your chest, waist, and height measurements to ensure a snug, performance-fit.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty zipping up the back
Ensure the suit is pulled up high enough on your hips and torso before attempting to pull the zipper. If it sticks, check for sand or salt buildup in the teeth.
Suit feels restrictive around the shoulders
Ensure the neoprene panels are correctly aligned with your joints. Stretching the suit slightly after putting it on can help the material settle into a comfortable position.
Water flushing through the neck
Ensure the neck closure is adjusted tightly and secured correctly to prevent excess water from entering the suit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Jobe Perth Shorty, proper care is essential. Always rinse the suit thoroughly with fresh, cold water after every use in salt or chlorinated water to prevent neoprene degradation. Avoid drying the suit in direct sunlight, as UV rays can cause the neoprene to become brittle over time; instead, hang it on a wide, non-metallic hanger in a cool, shaded area. When putting the suit on, ensure your fingernails do not puncture the material. If you find the zipper becoming stiff, ensure the area is free of sand and consider using a dedicated wetsuit zipper lubricant to maintain smooth operation.
