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 have not yet had a chance to test drive these particular pants, though I am working on it. That said, these are nylon. I hear that before Underarmor invented wicking sportswear fabric, nylon was terrible stuff. I even believe it, as I had a horrible nylon sweater that would make me sweat in negative temps. However, nylon and polyester and other synthetic fabrics are in most athletic clothes, and they are both comfy and breathable, as well as quickly wicking away moisture. (And, in the case, moisture is sweat from hiking.)

The material is a very heavy nylon outer shell, and I would say that they would protect against any "road rash". I've found the pants to be very dry during my winter rides, and very warm. I have only ridden in 2 heavy rains since owning them, and both times, I only had some small wet areas around my knees...... Other than that, for the price, these have been excellent pants, and a great addition to my gear. I am anxious to see during the summer months how they work with the zip out lining removed, and if they will be to hot to use??

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.

Neoprene works best when worn next to the skin..They will keep you warm but not dry..I use mine to wear with sandel or booties while kayaking in cooler weather and water

These are waterproof vinyl pants to go over cloth diapers, they also make waterproof nylon pants which is more durable. However, the vinyl is cheaper and in my opinion they work well too.

I would not recommend them for snorkeling. But they work well for lap training in a pool.

The palm is thick, the top is neoprene. We use them to water ski, so we don't deal with cold all that much. We use them for blisters. I would think they would help with cold, tho. We use wetsuits when the water is cold, and you still feel the cold of the water, it's just that the wetsuit holds the water on your skin and your body heat warms warms it and keeps you warmer. I would think these would do the same. At least you know they are for the water and they dry quickly.

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 havent tried them in a pool, I have used to hiking and cross under little falls or quick immersions. I havent really use to swimming long distance, I have also used it to do ecuarobics it works.

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

Likely not. They are intended to be worn snugly so that a rash does not occur while surfing or boogie boarding . If you normally wear a xl or xxl shirt, Ho with a large to have a tight fit ( wetsuit like). There is some sizing discrepancy from skin to skin, as some are made from either different material depending on color choice. Suggest get two or more and see what fits ahead of your water date. If you purchase for ocean use, and buy too big, you will gather sand inside and get that rub rash ( even with just swimming) if for pool use you can go with a size closer to your shirt size ( no sand getting in)...

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).

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.

After a brief look at the ones in your link, it appears they are water resistant. Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be much difference.

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.

Hi Megan- I also bought these to use over my child's underwear at bedtime, as he is fully potty trained in his conscious hours. Unfortunately, they did NOT keep the wetness in. They leaked pretty much every night. If the elastic around the thighs and stomach are tight enough to hold back wetness, then they hurt him. If they were remotely comfortable, they leaked. These are basically useful for those kids who are almost making it to the potty, but needs those few extra seconds. Hope this helps. Good luck.
