Will it keep you warm in cold water?

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

Absolutely not...it feels slightly warmer than your body temperature but it is a soothing warmth. You will love it!

what do you mean fully lined? it is not designed for cold or cool water. no insulation, just protection from water elements, like weeds, and sea lice.

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

No, not really cold water. Just uncomfortably cool water. My sons and husband use them when we go to the beach in November in Florida's panhandle.

no your skin will be wet but it will keep you warmer then if you were just wearing a bathing suit.

I believe it would. I walked a lot of the tough mudder I did due to foot disability and I was warm even with this shirt being wet. I would use it as an under layer, like long johns.

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

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

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

Maybe a little, but if you leave it in the sun the water will definitely get warm. It's thin and meant to be very lightweight, so I wouldn't say insulation is it's primary purpose.

yes. Although I would use cold water and expect some shrinkage. It's 100% cotton.

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

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.

Yes and the cold water is also room temperature, it does not get cold, horrible, do not buy, worse customer service ever they do not respobd and will not do anything about the cold water temperature

Not at all. In fact I love it! I stay warm but not hot like down ccomforters. I got my friend to buy one and they love it also.

You will get wet. The vest is a good option for warmer water. A jacket is good for cooler water. I recommend not buying any item from wetsuit wear house unless you like sewing it yourself.
