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 gloves would work great for that. I got them with the intentions of scuba diving, but the problem with these gloves, is that they have VERY, very small slots for the fingers. I highly recommend trying on these gloves, or any for that matter, before committing. Good luck.

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).

This is not thermal, it is intended to protect from dangerous UVF sun exposure. Add thermal to your (swim) garment search and that will keep you warm.

They did not keep my feet warm in 45 degree water. I bought a pair for surfing and my feet were freezing. The seams are not glued so water moves through them freely. In my opinion, they must be for protective wear such as for diving in warm water.

How are you doing, Rlizabeth? I bought this item from Amazon.com a couple of years ago. While it is well made, and I like this item, I don't believe that it is waterproof. For one thing, the weights are in individual, unsealed pouches whereby water can easily enter. Therefore, there is no way to keep them dry and potentially rust-free. That being said, I would not recommend them for aqua excercises in the pool. But, if you're looking for a neat, cool weight training aide, these would definitely fit the bill. Good luck and please have a good day! Rafiah.

We returned ours because the sizing chart wasn't accurate....we meant to purchase another but never got around to it. I will try to help from what I remember.....It was very good quality. Any life jacket will restrict some movement...but they will definitely be able to navigate. Neoprene is the breathable material that is used in things like wet suits.....it is a very comfortable material .....hope this helps :)

I think if you are a strong, fast swimmer they may come loose..... This could be remedied by using goggles to secure them, or a swimming cap. I do a fast side stroke and I haven't had any problem with them coming off while swimming. I also do a slow- medium freestyle and I haven't had a problem with them. I love them....for the price, give them a try. You could always use them for relaxing pool time or work-outs...

Waterfi fuelbands definitely are. For the regular ones I suppose that Nike can answer this. I heard that you can wear them while swimming but not use them for diving.

The vest I ordered was too small and seemed very stiff. I doubt if you could swim in it because it basically keeps your head and shoulders out of the water; I guess, just as a lifejacket is suppose to do. I hope this helps you with your decision.

I am a certified diver and no, they do not fit well enough for snorkeling. You need booties, their great for tube float fishing and wearing over waders. They are extremely light weight and great for the right sport.

Yes and no. Yes, I wear mine under my wet suit. No, it has no insulating value. I wear this rashguard under my wetsuit so that I am wearing something on my way the water before I put my neoprene on AND so that I can take off my neoprene immediately upon exiting the water and will still be covered in something that will dry quickly. These rashguard shirts are thin and have no insulating value. They are for the purpose of skin covering and protection.

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

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.

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.

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.

My husband and I wear ours daily in our pool. If we "should" I can't answer. However, I will say they do fine with our water exposure.
