Does it? This suit is awesome. I usually sweat in it during the kayak trips. I've fallen in the thefrigid rivers and it has keep me from freezing. I also have the waterproof boots and gloves to go with itfor added thermal protection.

It does get warm, but I like to think of it as 'whittling my waistline'! :)

No, it's for hot weather. The slightest breeze cools you off when you have it on.

Well... after getting it wet, it really wicked the water and cooled me better than warming, but just wearing paddle boarding and dry it did keep me warmer.

Yeah it was warm and comfortable. Not extremely heavy but it will keep you warm for sure. Just be careful when washing it because it falls apart.

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 does get a little warm. I usually put my daughter in very light cool clothing when I use it. And I make sure that she's well hydrated. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Yes it stays cool and doesn't get hotat all. Also, there's enough grip room to hold it with your fingers

By itself, no. It's just a thin layer of waterproof material (which keeps me 100% dry) but it's not really designed for being a warm jacket...now if you put it over something else you should be good

It definitely helped keep me cool. I tied it around my neck for 3 weeks in Vietnam, and it made the crazy heat bearable. I agree with Sandy, it's probably too big for a little kid's neck. Can also be worn as a headband, but someone would have to tie it for her.

yes! Its very cool and light to wear since its made with very thin material. Plus the fan doesn't let it heat up (if you live on a tropical island like me this would be an issue).

hi john,No it does not keep in the heat. The cover barely lasted 1 season in the hot California sun. After awhile the sun just turned the material to a kind of flaky dust.It does look good at first. Good Luck :0)

I find that it is a warm blanket even without using the heat elements. I believe it is designed to retain that heat. I don't believe it makes you to hot, but it is a good blanket with or without the heating function...

Yes, used it when it is cool outdoors, however will not keep you warm on a cold evening.

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.

Hi, This is not a wetsuit, but I was comfortable wearing it in VERY cold water on a beach weekend. I think it did help me meet my daughter's challenge to get in and catch some waves with her. So, yes/no. It helps, but there are other products made for swimming/surfing in coldest temps. Eileen
