The 84 degree pool is cold for me when I swim laps. But, will this jacket be too warm?

Not too warm at all, but it helps to lessen the chill. I'm glad that I bought it.

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.

If it's an outdoor pool it is perfect, especially when there's a breeze. Indoor pool you may get too warm.

Our pool is 84-85 degrees, too. You will love this jacket. I've been wearing it all winter in the pool. It makes swimming comfortable. If you feel too warm, while doing many laps, just open the zipper a bit at the neck.

Our pool is 83 degrees and makes entering the pool easier. I believe that you would be too warm. Also the air temperature when you shoulders are out of the water can make a difference. If the sun is out you can be very warm.

I think you will likely be too warm once you warm up. If it's practical to do so, you could wear the jacket for your warm up and then take it off. With the full length zipper, it isn't hard to take off.

I don't think the jacket will overheat you, but 85 degrees is the standard pool temp. I would be more concerned about the drag of water on your arms. I really enjoy mine, but I walk 90 minutes in the pool every morning. Not swimming laps.

The pool we bought came with a cover and it seems to do the trick! The water temperature is around 82 degrees just with the cover. We live in ohio and the temp averages 90 degrees.

I would say no. I bought it for water aerobics at the 'Y'. It's OK for that, but I wouldn't expect it to make me warm in very cold water. Hope that helps.

I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill. Without wind, keeping lightly active (walking my dogs), wearing layers beneath it, and staying out of the direct wind, I have been kept comfortably warm. If you are more active (skiing or snowshoeing) you should stay quite warm. The jacket does not block wind very well, so if you are in windy conditions I do not think it would be enough unless you wore some sort of windbreaker over it, but I'm not sure about trying to fit it under something else. I have worn a thick wool sweater under it without any problems. I live in the midwest and have worn this coat into temps down to -10, -25 with the wind chill.

Yes. I wore it in 40 degrees with a windbreaker and was fine. It's full zip, but those sleeves will toast you. Plus the collar. Don't.

Don't know your temps. I am using it for Aqua fit classes in an outdoor pool that is heated to 80 but the winter wind feels cold.

According to my pool guy, absolutely. BUT, I live in East Texas where the weather doesn't get that cold in the off-season. The user manual suggests that if the temperatures where you live in the winter get down below 41 degrees on a regular basis, then they suggest putting the pull up to avoid damage to the materials. So this depends on where you live. If you live in an area like the one I live in then there are winter conditioners you add to the water before putting your cover on and slipping into non-usage until the next warm season. If you do have to take it down at the end of each season, it might ease your mind to discover that the take down and assembly isn't that bad. Filling the pool is the most time consuming part.

This is NOT a wet suit (or dry suit) jacket. When you first hit the water it makes you maybe a bit colder for a few seconds, but then helps you be warmer. What it does best is keeps your shoulders from being cold. I use it for Water Aerobics, where we are in 10' of 78-84 degree pool water with flotation belts (remember, ocean water feels warmer at lower temps than does fresh water). We are upright with our shoulders out of the water. Will it keep you warm in water below 76 or so? NO.

Not really a problem, and I was a bit surprised, as I wore it on cold days riding my bike. It was fine at 40 F.

We ran it around the pool with water in the 50's here in Nevada and it was fne but don't know if any colder would be a problem or not

Our pool was averaging 76-78 degrees before the cover. Now it averages 82-84 degrees.Hope this helps!

It is very warm so if you are at an indoor meet it just might be too warm. I use it to wear to and from swim practice early morning and late evening swims. Hope that helps. It is a great coat!

Hey sorry for late replyDon't think I'm qualified to advise on this oneI use the jacket for winter reef fishing on the west Australian coastQuite far way from deer huntingJason

I don't know, I returned the jacket right away because the connections were too loose and jacket would not stay warm, if you move at all!

You would still need a jacket. If you sit close you will feel warmth, but not really a lot of heat.

absolutely! We live in AZ and the winter is the reason we bought it. Our temps have been dropping into the 40's at night and, by mid afternoon the pool is still warm enough to enjoy.

Yes, but how much will depend on your location. An in-ground pool will generally stay 10 degrees warmer than the coldest nighttime temperature. I live in South Florida, so my cover will raise the temperature 6-10 degrees. Therefore, in May, when the nights are in the high 60's, I can get my pool up to the low to mid eighties. In August, when nighttime lows are in the mid 70's, I can get it up to 90 degrees. Of course, it also depends on how much sun your pool gets during the day. If you have the pool in a lot of shade, the cover will keep the pool clean and save you on chemicals, but it won't do much to raise the temperature. Yes, but how much will depend on your location.
