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

I would recommend looking for a Gore-Tex glove for the situation you are asking about. They will be truly water proof and more durable.

It's not as thin as a rash guard but is perfect for me. I don't put my face in the water but do swim back and forth with ease. I think you'll really like it!!!

The gloves are not waterproof. They may protect you from a splash but definitely would not work for submersion.

The gloves would work great for that. I got them with the intentions of scuba diving, but the problem with these gloves, is that they have VERY, very small slots for the fingers. I highly recommend trying on these gloves, or any for that matter, before committing. Good luck.

I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended.. It's not gonna seal ur ears completely.. Nothing's perfect. Just put them away and they dry themselves and ready to go again! Personally, I think it's a good pair of ear pieces for swimming out there.. Tried H2o, works great but feel very cheap and the sound quality is a major different! 1 tip, You need to find the perfect ear pieces and hooks for urself to have a good fit(the hooks breaks easily so be careful) I used them for swimming a lot, and sometime water got into it-a lot- (and to my ears) and makes the volume goes wayyyy down-wayyy way way down. u can't even hear ur music unless u turn it on all the way which is not recommended..

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

Are you wearing it under water? Maybe sweat proof but, not water proof. They run great but, they don't last. These things are a dime a dozen, like most of them. Start out great but, kick out when you really need them. And, it doesn't matter how much you spend. I've spent anywhere from 30.00 to 150.00. I still got the same amount of life span out of each. Not one said water proof.

If they are light compression it may help, but I will be honest with you. This product in my opinion was not meant for anything but socks and it does work great for that purpose. I do not wear the compression stockings so mine is only a guess. I am truly sorry that I am unable to be of more help to you. May God bless you and yours always.

I cannot directly answer your question but I can assure you that these are waterproof. They are made of the material that dry suits are (not to be confused with wet suits).

I have not personally used them while swimming but they are rated as waterproof, so yes.

Hmm-m-m-m. . . I love thinking outside the box! Yes, I THINK these would work for that. They're stretchy, would cling to your feet, and offer a measure of protection from debris in the sand and heat. I don't know if they would keep the sand completely out though. Don't know what to say about size, except that I take between an 8 1/2 and 9, got a large, and it was a bit big (but no problem for swimming with fins).

These goggles are great for competitive swimmers. They have a very soft silicone seal. They should not leak if they fit correctly. It's difficult to say they would not leak or to guarantee it because fit is a very personal thing.

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 ?

My husband and I wear ours daily in our pool. If we "should" I can't answer. However, I will say they do fine with our water exposure.

They are very good to swim in! These have turned into my everyday swim trunks whether I'm at the beach, the lake, or the pool. The pockets have mesh netting in them, so they do not hold any water that will slow you down. Caleb

It is a wet suit not a dry suit so you will still get wet. I am not sure how flexible it is for "real" swimming. We used them to basically float around while snorkeling, for which they worked great and kept us warm.
