Will it keep you warm in gold water?

No it won't keep you warm in cold water the fabric isn't that thick. It's better for sun protection.

It did not help me in cold water. I think neoprene is the only thing that helps there.

It doesn't really act like a wetsuit. It is comfortable, light-weight & fast drying. I wear it around walking, hiking, etc jump in the water & leave it on to dry. I am very sensitive to the sun, so that's why I wear it. I usually swim in warmer waters. In cold water, I'd wear a wetsuit.

No. It is warm and comfortable. But as I told you it will loose its grip in some time.

It is warm. It works really well is you make saline solution and use a little bit of it in the machine with regular water.

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

This item should not get your clothing wet. It should provide the heat therapy without damaging clothing in any way

No. You would want to look for Heat Gear items (designed to keep you cool on the heat). This is a Cold Gear item (designed to keep you warm in the cold).

It depends. I got this for my daughter yet water managed to get in through the neck area yet she was still warmer then with a regular bathing suit.

It was a gift for someone, so I don't know about water entering at the neckline, but it is flexible and does provide warmth in cold water.

Yes it can cold water and no heat. The suit only not the veil and not the gloves.

Yes, if you are close it will keep you warm, but its most efficient at keeping a hot water bottle filled with hot water.

I love the vest in water temps between 72-78. I don't know if it would keep you warm in water below that. it probably would, I just don't know for sure. Water does not come in through the arm holes.

I'm sure the water would be warm but maybe not entirely HOT. It is large and a bit heavy to take with you though. I have mine plugged in 24/7, wouldn't want to be without it. This is our second one, the first lasted years and years.

Yes, but you're not submerged. On those really hot, humid days, the little bit of water cools you off nicely. Also, I am the Queen of "floaties" & with all those I've had, this one doesn't lose air & remains inflated for more than just one day. I trust you'll love it.

not at all. There is no mint or whatever Gold Bond puts into their powder to give you a cooling sensation. However, it is comfortable and keeps you dry all day.

It's as cool as the water you put in it, as far as my experience goes..it definitely is not warmer.

I dont necessarily feel water enter, but I do have an issue with air pockets. Even going to a smaller size, I still had sir pocket issues. With that said, it did help keep my upper body earmer. Very cold pool, I don't think it would provide enough warmth.

Not really, I wore mine many days when it was hot and it worked great to absorb sweat, keep my helmet dry and snug.
