Are these HeatGear Compression products good for water (i.e diving, swimming, etc.). I can't tell how they compare to nylon/spandex rash guards

These are to wear under a bullet proof vest to keep you dry or for working out

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

After a brief look at the ones in your link, it appears they are water resistant. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

I use the rash guard to keep warm while doing aqua arobics. The water is supposed to be warm, but it is usually cold. Once out of the water I take it off because it does get cold then.

you could try it. it is not waterproof. it is very comfortable. i like the front zipper. never was a fan of the zipper on back of the wetsuits i used while skiing and tubing altho i understand why. i use mine for hunting as a 2nd layer. i wear thermal underwear (long-johns) top and bottom and then this over that, generally. it worked well. i guess it would depend on your personal preference and if you want this suit directly against your skin

Good question. I only have used them out side of the water. They fit very snuggly. If I was home now I would test it for you but I am at work. Sorry I could not be of further assistance.

It's not as thin as a rash guard but is perfect for me. I don't put my face in the water but do swim back and forth with ease. I think you'll really like it!!!

I'm not a diver,and have only used this product on water filter O-Rings, but I can't imagine there being a better or cheaper product to preserve/lubricate/ rubber that is exposed to water......and a little bit goes a looooong way. I would recommend trying it, and at worst you'd have a less expense product for maintenance and storage of your gear...I believe it'd make an excellent seal though......and regarding deterioration of the rubber/silicone mask, silicone grease should be the lesser of other petroleum evils.

i did 50mins on my exercise bike, sweat was trapped underneath.. it's quite funny, i could see a bubble of water(sweat) so i think if the seal is good, you should be ok swimming

I don't know for certain but from my experience I have worn them in the shower and continued to wear them for hours afterwards, as they dry quickly. They really are long lasting. But I did try to swim in the pool with them once when I forgot to remove them and they came off in the water. So for me, it seems as though getting them wet is not so much a problem but immersing them fully in water for awhile will loosen them off the skin.

Id have to say, probably not much. The Bio fuse according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvqCa_dhbC8, look way more flat. I used the contoured speedo ones and find that I do NOT use them anymore. They were helpful on backstroke for like a week and now Im done with them. If you think you need paddles, I would try the Biofuse, cause I dont feel any more resistance with the contoured. However, the quality is really good, hard plastic, and tight bands. So Im assuming the Biofuse will be the same quality that will last for years to decade. I want to try the Biofuse now. I think these are all kinda gimmicks if you already know how to swim. I dont use a kick board, I lie on my back. But try the Biofuse and then sell them online if you dont like them.

The palm is thick, the top is neoprene. We use them to water ski, so we don't deal with cold all that much. We use them for blisters. I would think they would help with cold, tho. We use wetsuits when the water is cold, and you still feel the cold of the water, it's just that the wetsuit holds the water on your skin and your body heat warms warms it and keeps you warmer. I would think these would do the same. At least you know they are for the water and they dry quickly.

I would recommend looking for a Gore-Tex glove for the situation you are asking about. They will be truly water proof and more durable.

Neoprene works best when worn next to the skin..They will keep you warm but not dry..I use mine to wear with sandel or booties while kayaking in cooler weather and water

It's more compression in that it's snug fitting (to show off that Under Armour body!) It is not compression like compression shorts or cycling shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if UA offers a line of apparel like what you're looking for, but the Heatgear line probably won't do what you're wanting.

I've never used them for swimming. I only use them for sleeping. There's only one way to find out if they work while swimming. Good luck.

These goggles are great for competitive swimmers. They have a very soft silicone seal. They should not leak if they fit correctly. It's difficult to say they would not leak or to guarantee it because fit is a very personal thing.
