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.

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

No if it is windy you will feel the wind coming through this suit. This suit is for more moderate temperatures. I would recommend frabill heavy made cold weather suit.

I love this tankini. It does have a soft push-up but I would like more but it is the best I have found. I have 2 full suits with the same design. I just like them so much. I am in the pool everyday and they seem to hold up very well compared with other suits. hope this helps.

if you are in the water it will be fine, not for on land tho. it is like a thin wet suit

Not really, its more of a rash guard type shirt. It is definitely not as thick as even a 1mm wet suit shirt

I would say it was like plastic. Float like. Not something soft that you would want against your skin.

We returned ours because the sizing chart wasn't accurate....we meant to purchase another but never got around to it. I will try to help from what I remember.....It was very good quality. Any life jacket will restrict some movement...but they will definitely be able to navigate. Neoprene is the breathable material that is used in things like wet suits.....it is a very comfortable material .....hope this helps :)

As you can see from the photo of the suit, it is short sleeve and cut off just above the knees. The suit is for marginal temperatures thinking that most adults won't go in water that is below 70 degrees this suit will allow a reasonable dip with temps in the 60's. Your arms and legs and feet will still feel the cold but your core will be comfortable enough to spend some time in the water. It really depends on the swimmers sensitivity to cooler water. Hope this helps..................

This product is made from a heavy duty neoprene material. This item is comparable to a scuba suit/ wet suit. The approximate sizing for this item is as follows...M- Height 5'4"-5'8"- 140-160lbs- Chest 36-38" L- Height 5'7"-5'11"- 170-190lbs- Chest 38-40" XL- Height 5'9"-6'2"- 190-210lbs- Chest 40-42" 2XL Height 5'9"-6'4"- 210-230 lbs- Chest 42-44" 3XL- Height- 5'9"-6'4"- 220-240lbs- Chest 44-46"

I think so... it is very lightweight, and stays inflated with a fan that continuously runs and blows into the suit. Halloween is pretty cold in New England, and my daughter had to layer up quite a bit underneath to stay warm. Hope this helps!

Brian I know nothing about the neoprene one. I would expect that it may be the same. I had asked around about kids life jackets / beginning to swim type and was told about the Speedo one. I am very please with this one and had no problems with my grandson wearing it. He had a different one that was bulky, like the life jackets you see on boats and hated wearing it as it rubbed him under his arms and on the side of his face as it rode up on him. Got him this one and absolutely NO COMPLAINTS about wearing it. I got the 30-50 lbs one and he is six years old. He is small for his age, but anything bigger would not have worked it would have had to be returned as it would have defeated the purpose because it would have been too big. He is still wearing it this year. Hope this helps.

probably but I found the Frabil suit to be lighter than I wanted. Had to wear extra layers with it to stay warm. sold it and bought a Celcius brand

Not at all. They are rather tight. It really is like a thicker second skin. My little one has no trouble at all. She actually loves the suit because it keeps her warm when we kayak cold mountain waters.

Yow! That could be coooold! I would maybe look at a 4 or 5 mm thickness suit, that said, this is so cheap and if you get it on prime with free returns... Anyway, I'd guess Medium so you're not wrestling too much to get it on. It does need to be fairly tight and in contact with the skin to work properly, mine has a spot in the small of my back that doesn't contact so it makes a cold spot, which seems to be typical of low-cost wetsuits, but at this price I can't complain too much.

Yes, the vest has a neoprene waist and velcro across the entire width. This will certainly appear "smaller" on you than on me (I am 5'4" and 130lbs.), but it will do the job of putting 10 pound of well distributed weight on your chest and back. (I have four of these now, each on stationed in a city I visit frequently. For me it really is that good.)
