Will it keep you warm in cold water?

Hi, This is not a wetsuit, but I was comfortable wearing it in VERY cold water on a beach weekend. I think it did help me meet my daughter's challenge to get in and catch some waves with her. So, yes/no. It helps, but there are other products made for swimming/surfing in coldest temps. Eileen

It depends. I got this for my daughter yet water managed to get in through the neck area yet she was still warmer then with a regular bathing suit.

It keeps warm better than cold, but, today was really hot and when I got back in our car after having the cup in there for an hour, the water was lukewarm, as compared with the water in my plastic water bottle, which was hot.

It will keep you warmer than going bare. I do work out in a warm pool but it is below body temp. The surrounding air is cold. This keeps my arms and shoulders from getting cold. Order the size you wear and this shirt is longer. It is supposed to fit tight. The zipper up the front helps with getting in and out of it.

I love the vest in water temps between 72-78. I don't know if it would keep you warm in water below that. it probably would, I just don't know for sure. Water does not come in through the arm holes.

i feel very comfortable -- it is hard for me to say whether it is cold or warm as people feel differently. It is breathable - I would say it will keep you cool. I have used for more than 4 weeks now. It has improved my sleep quality. Good luck!

Yeah it was warm and comfortable. Not extremely heavy but it will keep you warm for sure. Just be careful when washing it because it falls apart.

Absolutely not...it feels slightly warmer than your body temperature but it is a soothing warmth. You will love it!

No, not really cold water. Just uncomfortably cool water. My sons and husband use them when we go to the beach in November in Florida's panhandle.

no your skin will be wet but it will keep you warmer then if you were just wearing a bathing suit.

It keeps the water from being icy cold. It's a gentle warm, but not hot. Suitable for birds and mammals.

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.

Are you sure your cold water temperature is 100 degrees? Average is around 55 degrees.

No, you just wear a swimsuit under your wetsuit. This shirt is just for extra protection and coverage. I bought it to wear over a bikini for long days at the beach. I suppose you could wear it under a wetsuit, but it would not be effective to keep you warmer.

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

Yes! It works very well in cold water. I have tried it a few times in warm as well, but I wash mainly with cold water. For my whites, I add their booster product and wash my whites in cold. They're the whitest whites I've had in a long time! Honestly, I'm impressed.

The whole idea behind neoprene is that the thin layer of water between your body and the neoprene is what keeps you warm. Ask anyone that surfs.
