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 think if you are a strong, fast swimmer they may come loose..... This could be remedied by using goggles to secure them, or a swimming cap. I do a fast side stroke and I haven't had any problem with them coming off while swimming. I also do a slow- medium freestyle and I haven't had a problem with them. I love them....for the price, give them a try. You could always use them for relaxing pool time or work-outs...

I think these are for sun protection. They do fit snug, but I do not use them for compression.

Water resistant and that used loosely... It's good against sweat or if you get caught in a sprinkle but not extreme water contact. I hope that helps

Good question. I only have used them out side of the water. They fit very snuggly. If I was home now I would test it for you but I am at work. Sorry I could not be of further assistance.

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 ?

Patti, hi,No.DO NOT USE THEM.FOR SWIMMING!! I got them.for jogging, dancing and indoor gym workout. I tried them once at the beach and poof... they went dead. so had to get a new pair. but for swimming my friend got me JLAB they work perfectly for swimming and somewhat like earplugs in the water. so for swimming buy JLAB check right here on Amazon. have fun Patti.

I am not sure what % but it is flexible and I would think a good suit for water aerobics...I thought of using it for the same but so far have only used in the ocean. It is probably the right thickness because when you go to higher, say 2mm and 3mm the suits are generally less flexible with increasing thickness. This one is nice and thin and I use it in the summer when the water is between ~68-72F for surfing, skin diving, and boogey boarding. I like to be warm and also prevent sunburn so this works well. If I get cold the next time I am in the indoor pool, this is the suit I would use - not a 2 or 3mm suit.

I used the chart, there was a link. I prefer close fit, as sand does still get in and when swimming I don't want to feel them flopping and they are a nice thin stretchy material.

Swimming laps might be better with a vest. I'm very cold natured so I would use it for laps at 84 degrees, but I think a vest would be enough for most people after getting warmed up. Keep in mind it does run very small. You wouldn't want it too tight for that activity. I wasn't hot in it riding bikes at a casual pace for an hour after snorkeling. It's very flexible but it's still a wetsuit material.

I have never tried them in the water. I'm not sure if these would work, as I would think it would be rather difficult to keep them in place and could lead to an embarrassing moment. I wouldn't try it unless the top to your swim gear is really secure and bra-like. I always spray them with hairspray before I put them on, so I know they will be locked in.

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.

Lynn, I forgot to mention that Victory KoreDry (made in USA, Huntington Beach, Ca.) makes a very good swim shirt! It is not a front zip, just as the Xcelerator is not a front zip, but it is top quality-and the price is good. That shirt has a 2mm front and back panel with the arms and shoulders made of their nylon "koredry" material (which is very good-my favorite rashguards). You will find this at the VictoryKoredry.com site under the "kill the chill" category. This is the "neoshirt", not the fleece shirt(which is a "super" sweat shirt-very nice). I have one of these "neoshirts", and it is very good for the swimming pool! DL Lynn, I forgot to mention that Victory KoreDry (made in USA, Huntington Beach, Ca.) makes a very good swim shirt!

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 :)

I use the rash guard to keep warm while doing aqua arobics. The water is supposed to be warm, but it is usually cold. Once out of the water I take it off because it does get cold then.

This mask doesn't leak when used for snorkeling but it isn't designed for lap swimming. I don't know how it would hold up to that since you'd be moving through the water much faster than a snorkeler. I'd think the drag of the water on the mask would be an issue.

I found them to be pretty heavy actually. I don't think they would work very well snorkling. They are basically a training aid to learn to swim better but I guess you could give it a try.
