Is this suit fully lined and does it offer some degree of warmth for swimming in not too cold water?

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.

It is not 'lined' but does offer some degree of warmth. I bought mine for use in Hawaii where the water can be a bit cool if you in it for a while. I was definitely comfortable and it kept me from getting sunburned while snorkeling. Not as warm as a wet suit but way less expensive and more comfortable. I would recommend getting a hood for additional warmth and sun protection.

It is not lined, it's just a skin. I use the suit as a layer, under my wetsuit if needed, so it does provided some warmth and it also, and primarily for me, protects from sunburn.

it is not lined. it is a 5mil thick. It is a good suit... I bought it for Snorkeling... The main things that I was looking for was protection from the sun, abrasion and jelly fish stings... It does give a little thermal help. I recommend it for protection. It does not give warmth like a wet suit.

There is no lining. It is only one lycra layer. It does provide additional wamth. I swim with it in 83 to 84 degree water very comfortably.

I purchased this as I have an outdoor pool that I use year round. I do live in SoCal so the winters aren't extreme. The water still feels cold initially but once the suit gets wet and I start moving it is very comfortable. It can be a bit difficult to get off when it's wet. It took me a couple of times to figure out the best way to get it off, but I did figure it out. I am very satisfied with it.

This is a very thin (also very flexible) neoprene shirt that will give you little protection from very cold temperatures and yes,,, water will enter at the neckline.

I am VERY skinny, but if we're talking fairly cool swimming pools, this is a great suit. I do feel a gap in my scrawny back area where I feel the coolness of the water, but otherwise I swim laps happily in this. A good buy, lasted me over 7 months at 2x a week. Probably not warm enough for the ocean.

We are using it in the pool for the first few weeks of swim team. Our outdoor pool just opened, and our practices start next week, and I'm expecting it to still be to chilly to swim without something like this :) I just plan to make sure to rinse it after every practice.If you are asking if it will be too warm in the summer, I'm not sure about that. It would be warmer than just a regular swim suit.

It's a little bit insulated, a lot more than the other models. It's a little like a jacket, but not down.

No sir. It has a soft inside liner. Great for 50f weather, when it's cooler toss a sweater on underneath and your good. I starting wearing this when I was in South Louisiana, September.

It is not breathable. I don't know if I ever heard of a breathable dry suit. Did not find it uncomfortable, but it has been pretty cold air temp when I wore it (sailed small boat Thanksgiving day, 26 degrees.

It does have a lining but it isn't thick. I used it with my newborn during the winter

No, the one I purchased is a full body suit made of thin nylon material. It is to keep the sun off my body, not to keep warm.

Not a "dry suit". You will get soaked. It just prevents rockrash and maybe keeps your core temp a little higher in cold water

Yes, this is perfect for open water swimming and/or swimming in a very cold pool. It has a lot of flexibility. Water doesn't enter the neck of mine, and I purchased it a size too big for easier on/off.

The Suit can be used in cold weather in the water however I did find it difficult to get my shoulders inside of the suits perhaps since you're getting an extra large it'll be easier however the fact that she had a stroke may make it even more difficult that maybe something you want to consider. it's very difficult getting your shoulders in and especially out.

I wore it in the ocean. It's a nice suit. Snorkle three times last week in it. Good bang for your buck.

I would say no. I bought it for water aerobics at the 'Y'. It's OK for that, but I wouldn't expect it to make me warm in very cold water. Hope that helps.

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.

Hi Georgia, The pool water in my complex is currently 70-75 degrees but as the weather gets cooler, I will go with a 5mm or probably 7mm. My 5mm triathlon suit keeps me really warm but is much harder to get in and out of and doesn't come up as far on the neck. I do plan on purchasing a 7mm suit from this company soon. So it depends on the temp of the water as well as how toasty you like to be. Another factor is how active you are in the water. I stay in for an hour at a time, lifting neoprene 10 lb hand weights as well as ankle weights- do some swimming but more swimming in the warmer months. If you don't mind the minimal cold seepage when first getting in, you will warm up pretty fast. The thicker the suit, slightly less mobility. The other trick I have found is wearing a hoodie (have 2mm and 3mm) which goes on before your wetsuit and keeps you head much warmer than a bathing cap. Hope that helps!
