The Problue RW-709 2 Pieces Farmer John & Jacket with Hood Wetsuit – 5mm is a two-piece semi-dry wetsuit system engineered for divers who need serious thermal protection without committing to a full drysuit. The 5mm neoprene panels trap a thin, warm layer of water that your body heats quickly, while the sealed hood and waterproof seams minimise water ingress. Built for the cooler thermoclines you’ll encounter at Sipadan’s cold thermocline zones on deeper or extended dives.

Care & Maintenance
- Rinse thoroughly – pay special attention to the hood seal and all zip areas where salt accumulates.
- Hang to dry inside out; the sealed seams need air circulation to stay supple.
- Lubricate the zipper with silicone spray after every few uses – salt seizes metal zippers fast.
- Inspect the hood seal and seam tape regularly; any lift or peeling needs immediate repair.

Can this wetsuit provide protection against marine life stings?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out to us. Our Problue RW-709 2 Pieces Farmer John & Jacket with Hood Wetsuit is designed to provide comfort and protection for a variety of aquatic activities. However, we cannot guarantee 100% protection against marine life stings. The suit is made with durable materials such as nylon and Lycra, which can offer a level of protection against minor abrasions and stings. Nevertheless, it is essential to note that our wetsuit may not provide comprehensive protection against more severe marine life stings. To minimize the risk of getting stung, we recommend swimmers to exercise caution when swimming in areas known to have marine life. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.

I loved wearing this wetsuit during my last diving trip. The double-layered material kept me extremely warm and comfortable. The adjustable cuffs and hood were also incredibly effective at preventing water entry. My only wish is for some extra color options.

Evelyn Tan Ting –
Is this wetsuit suitable for deep-sea diving?
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out, Evelyn. While our Problue RW-709 2 Pieces Farmer John & Jacket with Hood Wetsuit – 5mm is a great choice for various water activities, it’s not specifically designed for deep-sea diving. The 5mm thickness is more suitable for casual, short dives, or surface water activities. For deep-sea diving, we recommend suits with thicker materials (like 7mm or 10mm) to provide better insulation and protection. If you’re looking for a wetsuit for deep-sea diving, we’d be happy to help you find a more suitable option. Would you like to explore our other products or have further questions?
