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

After a brief look at the ones in your link, it appears they are water resistant. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

I've never used them for swimming. I only use them for sleeping. There's only one way to find out if they work while swimming. Good luck.

These are a fairly heavy gauge material. We wore them in warm water off Key West, June last year, mostly for sun protection, but they would help with some heat loss as well.

NeoSport XSPAN shorts for me are worn with a 0.5 mm long sleeve top. I wear them for warm water SCUBA. What's to reveal? They fit almost like a second skin! Are you serious?

This mask doesn't leak when used for snorkeling but it isn't designed for lap swimming. I don't know how it would hold up to that since you'd be moving through the water much faster than a snorkeler. I'd think the drag of the water on the mask would be an issue.

i did 50mins on my exercise bike, sweat was trapped underneath.. it's quite funny, i could see a bubble of water(sweat) so i think if the seal is good, you should be ok swimming

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 used the chart, there was a link. I prefer close fit, as sand does still get in and when swimming I don't want to feel them flopping and they are a nice thin stretchy material.

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.

This is not thermal, it is intended to protect from dangerous UVF sun exposure. Add thermal to your (swim) garment search and that will keep you warm.

They are fairly waterproof, but I was only using them to keep a surgical wound dry in the shower. A lot of movement, such as swimming, would probably cause it to loosen. Hope this helps.

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.

I bought the Henderson Neosport scuba shorts in Small and found the fit to be true. A long sleeve rash guard, vest and these shorts are perfect for warm water diving. I will buy another pair of the shorts before my next dive trip.

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 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 ?

A dive skin might be better than a wetsuit for lap swimming. However, I did a lot of diving with this and found it to be very comfortable and 'effortless,' so lap swimming might be okay if you are willing to strain your muscles slightly against its natural tendency to spring back to neutral position. The size is perfect for me - it is a size 14 and I am a size 14/16.
