Product Information

Full details

This Jobe Perth 3/2mm wetsuit is designed for water sports enthusiasts seeking reliable warmth and flexibility in moderate conditions. Its key benefit is providing a comfortable and protective layer with a quick-entry back zip. A potential caveat is that the 3/2mm thickness is best suited for water temperatures above 15°C (59°F) and may not be sufficient for very cold conditions. Key features include neoprene panels for insulation, durable seams, and protective knee pads.

FAQs

What water temperature is this wetsuit suitable for?

The Jobe Perth 3/2mm wetsuit is best suited for water temperatures between 15°C and 20°C (59°F and 68°F).

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the Jobe sizing chart, which typically uses chest, waist, and hip measurements. A proper fit is crucial for warmth and performance; it should be snug without restricting breathing or movement.

Can I machine wash this wetsuit?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash with a mild soap and cold, fresh water only.

What is the main difference between 3/2mm and other wetsuit thicknesses?

The '3/2mm' refers to the thickness of the neoprene. 3mm is used on the chest and back for core warmth, and 2mm on the limbs for flexibility. Thicker suits (e.g., 4/3mm, 5/4mm) offer more warmth but are less flexible and are designed for colder water.

How durable are the flatlock seams?

Flatlock seams are very durable and flexible, suitable for many watersports. They are typically used in warmer water wetsuits. For extremely cold conditions, sealed or taped seams might offer better water resistance.

What is the purpose of the back zipper?

The back zipper is designed for quick and easy entry and exit of the wetsuit, allowing users to get in and out of their gear more efficiently.

Troubleshooting

Wetsuit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the Jobe sizing chart. Wetsuits should fit snugly but not restrict blood flow. Try a larger size if necessary.

Water leakage through seams or zipper

Check that the zipper is fully closed and the flap behind it is correctly positioned. Minor leakage is normal, but significant water entry may indicate a sizing issue or worn-out seals. Rinse thoroughly after use and ensure it's dried properly.

Neoprene feels stiff or loses elasticity

This can happen with age or improper care. Ensure you are always rinsing with fresh water and drying away from direct sun. Consider using a neoprene conditioner if stiffness persists.

Zipper is difficult to move

Rinse the zipper area with fresh water to remove any salt or sand buildup. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides good warmth for its thickness in milder water conditions.
  • The back zip system makes it easy to put on and take off.
  • Durable construction with reinforced knee pads for extended use.
  • Offers a good range of motion due to the varied neoprene panel thickness.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for very cold water temperatures.
  • Flatlock seams, while durable, may allow some water ingress compared to sealed seams.
  • Requires assistance for a perfect fit on the back zipper.
  • Specific sizing is crucial for optimal performance and warmth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This wetsuit requires no setup; simply put it on.

Compatibility: The Jobe Perth 3/2mm wetsuit is compatible with most water sports equipment, including surfboards, paddleboards, kayaks, and jet skis. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance and comfort.

Care: To maintain the wetsuit's performance and lifespan:

  1. Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the wetsuit inside and out with fresh, cool water to remove salt, sand, and chlorine.
  2. Hand Wash: If necessary, hand wash with a mild wetsuit shampoo or soap. Avoid machine washing.
  3. Drying: Hang the wetsuit to dry on a wide, padded hanger away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Never put it in a tumble dryer.
  4. Storage: Store the wetsuit loosely rolled or flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding it, as this can create permanent creases.
