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

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 used them for snorkeling in Hawaii They work but not well If you don't want to hassle with packing fins they will do in a pinch but if you are going out more than once I would opt for regular dive fins

They are not exactly compression. They work very well to protect the crotch rubbing of the skin and the same shorts with skin and avoid burns when training. If they are snug, but not so much as a compression.

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.

Hi M.Gross,1) Is the sports sleeve waterproof? ie when you sweat, will the nano get wet? 2) You mentioned it's uncomfortable after extended wear, I figure you mean it's chaffs your skin? I do 1++ hour runs, so can you recommend any other type of sports sleeve for the nano that doesn't chaff?

These are pretty decent Cordua nylon. What denier I am not sure...I peddled in a lashing rain storm for a brief period and my gear stayed dry...I would believe that the packs are pretty good at repelling water, but if subjected to constant daily rolling down a wet road, rainy conditions your gear will eventually get wet. Easy fix is to purchase a pair of water proof covers that will reject any wet for long periods or long trips where keeping gear dry is essential.

Hi Megan- I also bought these to use over my child's underwear at bedtime, as he is fully potty trained in his conscious hours. Unfortunately, they did NOT keep the wetness in. They leaked pretty much every night. If the elastic around the thighs and stomach are tight enough to hold back wetness, then they hurt him. If they were remotely comfortable, they leaked. These are basically useful for those kids who are almost making it to the potty, but needs those few extra seconds. Hope this helps. Good luck.

A dive skin might be better than a wetsuit for lap swimming. However, I did a lot of diving with this and found it to be very comfortable and 'effortless,' so lap swimming might be okay if you are willing to strain your muscles slightly against its natural tendency to spring back to neutral position. The size is perfect for me - it is a size 14 and I am a size 14/16.

The pair that i had didn't make it three good months and I only used them for working out but I sweat a lot more than the average person . My thought is if they couldn't handle the occasional sweat they may not hold up good for swimming . Maybe I had a bad pair. I liked them enough to buy another pair .

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.

They are made of silicone so they are waterproof but not sure if it will stay on while swimming or not. It's worth trying.

Yes. Great for swimmers - Fully water resistant making them the most effective exercise tools for measuring your heart rate while involved in water sports. http://www.heartratemonitorsusa.com/polar-t31c.html

Are you wearing it under water? Maybe sweat proof but, not water proof. They run great but, they don't last. These things are a dime a dozen, like most of them. Start out great but, kick out when you really need them. And, it doesn't matter how much you spend. I've spent anywhere from 30.00 to 150.00. I still got the same amount of life span out of each. Not one said water proof.

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

NeoSport XSPAN shorts for me are worn with a 0.5 mm long sleeve top. I wear them for warm water SCUBA. What's to reveal? They fit almost like a second skin! Are you serious?
