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

I bought the Henderson Neosport scuba shorts in Small and found the fit to be true. A long sleeve rash guard, vest and these shorts are perfect for warm water diving. I will buy another pair of the shorts before my next dive trip.

I am sorry i did not answer your question sooner. But these are not compression items. They are very comfortable and living in Florida i can testify to the fact that they actually make your arms cooler in the heat. I also like the fact that i don't have to put suntan lotion on my arms when i ride.

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!!!

Yes! These are the best to use! I use them when I'm jogging\biking\even on the boat. They're not water proof but they withstand alot of sweat.

It's pretty hard to actually swim with this belt on. I would say it's for vertical activity - water exercises, underwater walking and running... It just keeps you buoyant, like a life preserver, only better.

This does not fit like a tight rashguard used for scuba diving. It is more like a fitted t-shirt that you might you might see in the swimsuit section. It is fitted enough that it doesn't swell with water and float up. I ordered the standard size I would wear in a fitted t-shirt and it fit perfectly.

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.

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

These are waterproof vinyl pants to go over cloth diapers, they also make waterproof nylon pants which is more durable. However, the vinyl is cheaper and in my opinion they work well too.

Swimming laps might be better with a vest. I'm very cold natured so I would use it for laps at 84 degrees, but I think a vest would be enough for most people after getting warmed up. Keep in mind it does run very small. You wouldn't want it too tight for that activity. I wasn't hot in it riding bikes at a casual pace for an hour after snorkeling. It's very flexible but it's still a wetsuit material.

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 use them for snorkeling. I have severe arthritis and my knees ache if I don't have them on especially when the water is cooler. They work very well.

They are usually worn tight to help keep you warm in the water. It's stretchy but not like a spanx or that type of thing. It may help a bit though.

I think these are for sun protection. They do fit snug, but I do not use them for compression.

I would buy the covers just for swimming. These don't work very good. I just saw plastic covers by the swim stuff at Target.

Likely not. They are intended to be worn snugly so that a rash does not occur while surfing or boogie boarding . If you normally wear a xl or xxl shirt, Ho with a large to have a tight fit ( wetsuit like). There is some sizing discrepancy from skin to skin, as some are made from either different material depending on color choice. Suggest get two or more and see what fits ahead of your water date. If you purchase for ocean use, and buy too big, you will gather sand inside and get that rub rash ( even with just swimming) if for pool use you can go with a size closer to your shirt size ( no sand getting in)...
