Can Neoprene/wet-suits be worn for running, working out?

William, I think a tradional surf or diving wetsuit would be too hot for out-of-water sport activities. They are incredible insulators, so I would be concerned about overheating or dehydration. I wear my suit half way (to the waist) when I goto the beach. The drive is only 15 minutes, but in that short time of inactivity I'm starting to get very warm. Also, there is the chafing factor. Tradional surf wetsuits will chaf surfers in high friction areas such as the armpits and neck. I can only imagine the chafing you'd get if you ran in one! If you still wish to wear a wetsuit in your workouts, my recommendation would be to look at the lighter weight wetsuits that triathletes use.

I would say yes - I wear it everyday for a 2 hour workout. I know 18 holes is a longer time - it will get hot in the summer because of the neoprene.

The whole idea behind neoprene is that the thin layer of water between your body and the neoprene is what keeps you warm. Ask anyone that surfs.

You can wear it under shirts as long as they are not snug. Works fine under baggy sweatshirts, etc. When wearing compression-wear, you can wear it right over it. As far as when training with it during arm workout, it works fine, I just don't use it much in the gym. I use it primarily playing tennis and working around the house when my arm tendons bothers me.

Yes, they work well for running. I've had the new S9 HD for 2 mths now and I run several times a week with no problems with reception or shorting from sweat. You can wear them on your hip (= very good reception (music and phone)with little to no covering or major obstruction)) or on your arm with an armband (best reception, music and phone). I've found they work VERY well for running.

I think they'd work well, it just depends on if you'd want that look. By the way, I just did a 5K mud run on this past Saturday and I didn't lose my shoes once.

I also wear mine to sleep, but it is a snug fit and I do not see why you couldn't wear it for running. Kim

Sri, I won't recommend that. They are tight enough but are not meant for active work out.

I haven't worn them for running but with the foam tips they really stay put. You can also wear them over your ears for a more secure fit. That being said these are not specifically designed for exercising so I don't know how they handle sweat. They sound fantastic though so I'd say it's worth a try.

I wear a 7, and these are too large when wet. I'm not sure if they would be too large for you. Even large they still work just fine, and give a lot of resistance for water aerobics.

I think this is use more for putting on a wetsuit and preventing chafing in all the moving parts. I have never used it in shoes. I imagine you would be too slimy to run comfortably.

I only wear while walking or working out and it is quite comfortable. It doesn't breath well due to the neoprene so I wouldn't want to wear all day.

For best results wear sweat suits underneath. A bit uncomfortable at first but helps with a lot with water loss.

If you run like a 70 year old lady then yeah you can wear these. If you want to get sweat all up in every little part of these semi cheap headphones go for it. I'd recommend the Shure E2's for running. I run about 8 miles every two days and they hold up to the torrents of sweat I put out. N.

No you're going to get wet but a neoprene suit shirt whatever it'll be water tight.

There is no indication that they contain neoprene, hence no health warning. Since there is no stretching involved, there is no reason that neoprene would be used.

Likely not. They are intended to be worn snugly so that a rash does not occur while surfing or boogie boarding . If you normally wear a xl or xxl shirt, Ho with a large to have a tight fit ( wetsuit like). There is some sizing discrepancy from skin to skin, as some are made from either different material depending on color choice. Suggest get two or more and see what fits ahead of your water date. If you purchase for ocean use, and buy too big, you will gather sand inside and get that rub rash ( even with just swimming) if for pool use you can go with a size closer to your shirt size ( no sand getting in)...
