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

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.

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 ?

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 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).

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

I found them to be pretty heavy actually. I don't think they would work very well snorkling. They are basically a training aid to learn to swim better but I guess you could give it a try.

These goggles are great for competitive swimmers. They have a very soft silicone seal. They should not leak if they fit correctly. It's difficult to say they would not leak or to guarantee it because fit is a very personal thing.

I am not sure what % but it is flexible and I would think a good suit for water aerobics...I thought of using it for the same but so far have only used in the ocean. It is probably the right thickness because when you go to higher, say 2mm and 3mm the suits are generally less flexible with increasing thickness. This one is nice and thin and I use it in the summer when the water is between ~68-72F for surfing, skin diving, and boogey boarding. I like to be warm and also prevent sunburn so this works well. If I get cold the next time I am in the indoor pool, this is the suit I would use - not a 2 or 3mm suit.

The palm is thick, the top is neoprene. We use them to water ski, so we don't deal with cold all that much. We use them for blisters. I would think they would help with cold, tho. We use wetsuits when the water is cold, and you still feel the cold of the water, it's just that the wetsuit holds the water on your skin and your body heat warms warms it and keeps you warmer. I would think these would do the same. At least you know they are for the water and they dry quickly.

We bought them to protect my son's feet from the rough pool surfaces. His toes were always abraded to the point where I couldn't take his agony anymore. The socks worked perfectly for this purpose and he thought they were very comfortable for swimming and looked "cool". However, he wore right through the material after about 5-6 uses. He wore through the big toe areas because he'd bounce off the bottom of the pool with his big toes since he was too short to touch the bottom. To make it through the summer, I patched with duct tape. Worked well enough since it was the end of the summer, but I don't think I'd buy these again. He definitely needs something with a rubber bottom or something more rub resistant.

This does not fit like a tight rashguard used for scuba diving. It is more like a fitted t-shirt that you might you might see in the swimsuit section. It is fitted enough that it doesn't swell with water and float up. I ordered the standard size I would wear in a fitted t-shirt and it fit perfectly.

It's pretty hard to actually swim with this belt on. I would say it's for vertical activity - water exercises, underwater walking and running... It just keeps you buoyant, like a life preserver, only better.

No, unfortunately, due, I think to you skins moisture; but if you apply them well they last all day and I have even gone swimming in them. One time I slept in them and was able to continue wearing them the next day. Of course I had just bathed and was clean but had a morning occasion where I needed them again, so that was amazing to me. In other words they are pretty durable and lasting.

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.

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.

I have never tried them in the water. I'm not sure if these would work, as I would think it would be rather difficult to keep them in place and could lead to an embarrassing moment. I wouldn't try it unless the top to your swim gear is really secure and bra-like. I always spray them with hairspray before I put them on, so I know they will be locked in.
