I need something thin and comftable to keep me warm while I do laps in a cold pool. Will this work? Thanks

As long as it is tight fitting, I think this would be perfect for keeping you warm while swimming laps!

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!!!

It will keep you warmer than going bare. I do work out in a warm pool but it is below body temp. The surrounding air is cold. This keeps my arms and shoulders from getting cold. Order the size you wear and this shirt is longer. It is supposed to fit tight. The zipper up the front helps with getting in and out of it.

Absolutely. One of my smartest purchases for water. Believe it or not it does help keep you warmer and I get compliments on it , got the hot pink!

It will help but mine stretched out hugely from the pool chemicals within a short time.

I have bought 2 of them to protect myself from the sun but do know they are good on colder days so would think they would be ok for swimming.

Nice jacket that I use under very cold temp. (-20oC) for running with 3 underlayers. It stops wind but I found that it does not breath. As I sweat (even at -20oC) the water stays inside the jacket. I would not recommend it for running although it does the job. A more 'technical' fabric would be more appropriate.

It's great just get one size bigger than you normally would and you'll have enough room for 2 thinner or 1 thick layer underneath. Its very lightweight. I'm not sure about how warm it is in extreme cold though because I just bought it.

I don't think it'll be a good knee warmer. Its relatively thin (perhaps to keep cool while you work out). Has the thickness of a beret, or two fleece jackets layered over each other. Very polyester-y in feel as well, so I don't think that traps heat well.

It is thin. Its about NOT slipping when you're pouring sweat on the mat. Same company makes a thick one. Look on their site. An LuLuLemon makes a think one.

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.

Could be used for cold water but it's main purpose is to reduce chaffing from wetsuit.

That would depend on how thick your fleece pad is, probably a thin pad would work best. I use a towel and it does transfer heat using just under the highest setting.

Yes! This would definitely be a better (and lighter) choice for a triathlon, rather than a wetsuit! Good luck!

Hi, Chris from Polar USA here. As mentioned previously. It should work great in the pool! I have logged many many laps with mine. As another poster mentioned, the initial push off sometimes causes the transmitter to slip down. We find if we place the transmitter in our back, (upside down so the L/R sides of the transmitter are still on the L/R sides of your body) this reduces the drag and prevents that from happening. Please give us a ring if you have any questions. Chris @ Polar USAtwitter.com/chrispolarusa

You can use it for lap swimming but should note that the ribbing on teh edge of the sleeves and the legs is a bit tight...even with many uses, I found them tight.

Yes it will, we have a simple rash guard for medium tempts and short swims but we use this one for longer swims and it keeps her at body temperature. We are in California so the water is warm but the temp gets cold while night swimming. I would recommend it.

It might be easier if you are a fast swimmer. I swim laps with mine but I am a slow swimmer. The vest is a little restrictive but does keep me warm. Thanks

The material is thin, so just a rash guard. It does keep your core warm if you wear a layer over it. I used it during a Tough Mudder in Seattle and it actually kept me "warm".

Amazon sent me an email to answer this and I can't but I can say that the wetsuit is thick enough to work. We went to lake Michigan this summer and the water was very cold (I never went in) but my incredibly wussy, wimpy daughter did and was warm enough in it! :)

The whole idea behind neoprene is that the thin layer of water between your body and the neoprene is what keeps you warm. Ask anyone that surfs.
