Can Neoprene/wet-suits be worn for running, working out?

William, I think a tradional surf or diving wetsuit would be too hot for out-of-water sport activities. They are incredible insulators, so I would be concerned about overheating or dehydration. I wear my suit half way (to the waist) when I goto the beach. The drive is only 15 minutes, but in that short time of inactivity I'm starting to get very warm. Also, there is the chafing factor. Tradional surf wetsuits will chaf surfers in high friction areas such as the armpits and neck. I can only imagine the chafing you'd get if you ran in one! If you still wish to wear a wetsuit in your workouts, my recommendation would be to look at the lighter weight wetsuits that triathletes use.

You can wear it under shirts as long as they are not snug. Works fine under baggy sweatshirts, etc. When wearing compression-wear, you can wear it right over it. As far as when training with it during arm workout, it works fine, I just don't use it much in the gym. I use it primarily playing tennis and working around the house when my arm tendons bothers me.

Yeah I guess so. The pockets are quite deep. But the issue with these shorts is that they travel up my thighs when I'm running so I ended up not using them in the gym. :(

I wear a 7, and these are too large when wet. I'm not sure if they would be too large for you. Even large they still work just fine, and give a lot of resistance for water aerobics.

We have had customers use on neoprene suits but did not receive any feedback so this is an application that you would need to test to determine how well it works for your needs. This specific formula is tested and intended for use on outdoor synthetic fabrics such as those used in tents, awnings, etc.

They might, but there are better choices. My experience with neoprene foot- and hand-wear is that they shouldn't be used when water-proofed leather or fabrics would do to keep you warm. Save the neoprene for submersion or nearly constantly wet conditions (and when it is not subject to much abrasion).

I haven't used them for running, but they have a fairly secure fit, so they should.

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

I think the headphones is no sweat proof.But I don't think you can get it wet while you exercise.And it fix well, so it suit you.

No...they are fine for a neon color 5k where powder is thrown all over. I wouldnt wear then while in my sandrail though.

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

I'd say yes. It's a really good fit. And it is well made. It shouldn't slip off while you run.

Not necessarily, if you find a good fit. The over the ear accessory will help, but I found it too rigid and uncomfortable to use for long. You should be okay while weight lifting, but I wouldn't recommend them for running.

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.

Yes, but I have not tried for your specific sports requests. I expect it would work, but you will sweat in that area, as the material is not breath-able.You might want consider compression shorts instead. Ie, if you are doing these very active sports, you must not be hurting too bad already.

It is a cycling jacket but I don't see why it couldn't be used for running.

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).
