Is this suit fully lined and does it offer some degree of warmth for swimming in not too cold water?

what do you mean fully lined? it is not designed for cold or cool water. no insulation, just protection from water elements, like weeds, and sea lice.

It is not 'lined' but does offer some degree of warmth. I bought mine for use in Hawaii where the water can be a bit cool if you in it for a while. I was definitely comfortable and it kept me from getting sunburned while snorkeling. Not as warm as a wet suit but way less expensive and more comfortable. I would recommend getting a hood for additional warmth and sun protection.

It is not lined, it's just a skin. I use the suit as a layer, under my wetsuit if needed, so it does provided some warmth and it also, and primarily for me, protects from sunburn.

it is not lined. it is a 5mil thick. It is a good suit... I bought it for Snorkeling... The main things that I was looking for was protection from the sun, abrasion and jelly fish stings... It does give a little thermal help. I recommend it for protection. It does not give warmth like a wet suit.

There is no lining. It is only one lycra layer. It does provide additional wamth. I swim with it in 83 to 84 degree water very comfortably.

No, it's not fleece-lined, but it is a pretty heavy fabric. I wore these last month on a 60 mile ride in the pouring rain and they kept my legs plenty warm! Also, it doesn't show in the picture or description, but these do have a zipper at the ankle.

Our pool is 84-85 degrees, too. You will love this jacket. I've been wearing it all winter in the pool. It makes swimming comfortable. If you feel too warm, while doing many laps, just open the zipper a bit at the neck.

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.

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

The suit is fairly stretchy, and easier to swim in than a full suit. I haven't really tried to swim many laps with it on, although I have worn it in the pool and swum a few laps. It wouldn't be my first choice to swim laps with a wet suit on, but once you're in the water, this suit is comfortable.

It 's not neoprene. It has a fleece lining and a nylon like exterior. Very warm and comfortable, but not a wetsuit material. It is not completely water resistant.

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..................

It is lined with a very thin yet heavy for being so thin material. It is good for me down to 50 degrees without additional layers

Yes, it does. It was one of the reason i bought this style. The draw back is that it's a bit drafty because the opening near the neck doesn't fully closed. Still, very warm for 30 deg weather.

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.

This is NOT a wet suit (or dry suit) jacket. When you first hit the water it makes you maybe a bit colder for a few seconds, but then helps you be warmer. What it does best is keeps your shoulders from being cold. I use it for Water Aerobics, where we are in 10' of 78-84 degree pool water with flotation belts (remember, ocean water feels warmer at lower temps than does fresh water). We are upright with our shoulders out of the water. Will it keep you warm in water below 76 or so? NO.

Yes, this is perfect for open water swimming and/or swimming in a very cold pool. It has a lot of flexibility. Water doesn't enter the neck of mine, and I purchased it a size too big for easier on/off.

I have used this suit for my first 4 triathlons (spanning 3 years), and for training for them (in open water). I've used it in the summer in lakes in inland Michigan and Illinois, in Lake Michigan, and in the ocean in northern California. I find I'd want sleeves for water colder than 60 deg. F, and may buy another suit. It has held up very well (no issues with suit, zippers, etc.).

Amazon sent me an email to answer this and I can't but I can say that the wetsuit is thick enough to work. We went to lake Michigan this summer and the water was very cold (I never went in) but my incredibly wussy, wimpy daughter did and was warm enough in it! :)

there is no lining; it is simply a shell. However, if you put a turtleneck or something on under it, you will have your softness. When I put it on over a sweater to work outside I found myself getting very warm. It's a great little shell.

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.
