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 is watertight, but unlike nylon it is breathable. I use this product for fishing, sport events, and cold weather (snow blowing in snow storms). In each situation it repels water and wind keeping me dry and warm, yet allows air to flow. I used to wear bulky coveralls for snow blowing, no more, a pair of togg pants over my jeans and jacket over long john shirt and hoodie and im goood to go. Cold wind cut thru coveralls, put a pant or jacket over them and youll feel the difference. Lightweight too!

I would not recommend them for snorkeling. But they work well for lap training in a pool.

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?

Hi Jehlen,These are good for wicking away sweat, also since fingers are in thin cloth, it gives protection from blisters too and super comfy. But they are not compression.

I would NOT recommend swimming. These will absorb water which is probably what you would like to avoid. (I tried it! ) I think Amazon has some pretty decent swimming plugs. Hope this helps! :o)

Patti, hi,No.DO NOT USE THEM.FOR SWIMMING!! I got them.for jogging, dancing and indoor gym workout. I tried them once at the beach and poof... they went dead. so had to get a new pair. but for swimming my friend got me JLAB they work perfectly for swimming and somewhat like earplugs in the water. so for swimming buy JLAB check right here on Amazon. have fun Patti.

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.

I used the chart, there was a link. I prefer close fit, as sand does still get in and when swimming I don't want to feel them flopping and they are a nice thin stretchy material.

I cannot directly answer your question but I can assure you that these are waterproof. They are made of the material that dry suits are (not to be confused with wet suits).

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.

These have great compressive abilities, but I did not feel any significant thermal impact when I wore it. It does keep warm, but it was not noticeable enough for me to consider it that type of tight. Have you considered the SKINS S400/200 Women's Thermal Compression Long Tights ?

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

They are fairly waterproof, but I was only using them to keep a surgical wound dry in the shower. A lot of movement, such as swimming, would probably cause it to loosen. Hope this helps.

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.

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.
