Is this suit at all buoyant? Neoprene usually is, but it looks like mostly some other material?

Not buoyant, at least that I noticed. The tag says its 80% neoprene & 20% nylon.

Yes it is. Through observation I feel that the bouyancy is comparable with 1/2 to 1 of a single square floatie.

It does have a very small amount of buoyancy even when empty but was able to dive 20ft repeatedly at underwater museum in cancun. It also did work well to partially inflate and view from surface on shallow reefs. We have tried a couple different brands of vest and these are hands down the best.

The suit is not a wetsuit but a lycra suit to protect you from jelly fish stings etc. so won't keep you warm

It's a bit heavy but that just means you are covered well. the weight will not bother you much but the warmth might. I do not mid it at all. It moves well and seems to gather the local surroundings well. It is very hard to be seen in this suit. Instant cover. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this suit for paintball/air-soft, theme parties/scarring people, and for military bush use, as it is strong material. I have had a few this one is the best by a LONG SHOT. (wink).

This is meant to stay buoyant in the water. It will float to the surface if dropped. Please let us know if there is anything else that you may need.

Hi Cici,I'd say it's a little higher cut than I'm used to - I generally buy suits that are made for doing laps in a pool (rather than lounging beside the pool) - but it's not extreme by any means. I think the style is flattering and it's good value for the money (pool suits usually being $80+). Hope this helps. Cheers, hm

I would get the large , suit fits bit snug, you don't want to be to uncomfortable in your movements. I purchased a 2x and am 6'3" 240lbs, Body builder frame , I needed a 3x couldn't maneuver in the water and my girlfriend had to pull the suit off my shoulders, I couldn't take the 2x off or put on by myself. !!!!!

probably just the large unless you have a long torso, then go up bc i am an off the rack body at every size i have been and this suit would be too short in the inseam for a long torso person if it fit otherwise. also you may want to wear a sport bra under it. the shelf bra in it is not structured but in water i don't bother for obvious reasons

Not sure, I returned the item due to sizing. The suit did appear well constructed tho.

The white hasn't gotten dingy for me yet and I've worn it a lot. Plus you can wear all of this in the water.

hi Slim, according to the Stormr's website this jacket does have some positive buoyancy in the jacket. I haven't tries it out to see if this is actually true. I purchased it for winter time to keep me warm and protected from the elements while snowblowing and shoveling snow.

It's made from mesh type material, which covers the ordinary floaty material. It is very comfortable, soft material.

Yes and no. Yes, I wear mine under my wet suit. No, it has no insulating value. I wear this rashguard under my wetsuit so that I am wearing something on my way the water before I put my neoprene on AND so that I can take off my neoprene immediately upon exiting the water and will still be covered in something that will dry quickly. These rashguard shirts are thin and have no insulating value. They are for the purpose of skin covering and protection.

I don't know but I got a full sleeve top, and it is real warm they line the higher end wet suits with it ,that polyolefin is light, durable stretch's i love my top it better than better than neoprene

It will float up a bit, but its not that bad. Most of these vests have that tendency though.

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.

I found that the suits definitely kept the kids warmer, but only slightly more buoyant. We used the coast guard approved arm and body supports for the first year and now have tried the swim suit with floatation. They now play in the shallow water without the buoyant assist, but still like to swim in deeper water with them on. This summer we are not using the wetsuits.
