Compare Jobe neoprene wetsuits and waterwear with Crewsaver drysuits for kayaking, boating and other water activities. This collection includes full wetsuits, shorties, long-john styles, neoprene jackets and accessories, plus two Crewsaver Atacama drysuits. A wetsuit and a drysuit work differently; choose for water temperature, activity and manufacturer guidance.
Wetsuit or Drysuit?
Wetsuits: neoprene garments such as Jobe Perth and Sofia 3/2 mm full or shorty suits, Jobe Yukon 4/3 mm full suit and Jobe Atlanta 2 mm models. They insulate through close-fitting neoprene and do not keep the body dry.
Drysuits: Crewsaver Atacama Sport+ 6554 and Atacama Pro 6556 are intended to limit water entry when used and sealed correctly. Check fit, seals, layering requirements and maintenance; a drysuit does not automatically supply thermal insulation.
Children's suits: Jobe Boston 3/2 mm full suits and 2 mm shorty are separate kids' models. Follow child-specific sizing guidance.
Neoprene layers: Jobe Toronto and Porto 2 mm jackets/long-johns, tops, shorts, 3 mm socks and 4 mm hood offer coverage for different conditions. Accessories are not full suits.
Choose Fit and Protection
Use the individual size chart; snug wetsuit fit, drysuit seal fit and room for layers are different requirements. Neoprene thickness alone cannot determine suitable water temperature. Follow product instructions and activity-specific safety rules, use correctly sized flotation equipment, and plan for cold-water exposure. Inspect zips and seals before use.
