I am looking for a shirt that will keep my husband somewhat warm in the ocean water as well as well as provide sun protection. Will this do it?

The shirt will surely help with its SPF protection, but it feels to me that the shirt adapts to the water temperature quickly. It is a quality shirt. n I found it and shirts like it to be a little difficult to remove after getting out of the water, if they are still wet. Wait fior them to dry (that will be fast), or give him a hand. Good luck.

These are a fairly heavy gauge material. We wore them in warm water off Key West, June last year, mostly for sun protection, but they would help with some heat loss as well.

Well... after getting it wet, it really wicked the water and cooled me better than warming, but just wearing paddle boarding and dry it did keep me warmer.

I believe it would. I walked a lot of the tough mudder I did due to foot disability and I was warm even with this shirt being wet. I would use it as an under layer, like long johns.

This is not thermal, it is intended to protect from dangerous UVF sun exposure. Add thermal to your (swim) garment search and that will keep you warm.

I got it to wear kayaking in colder Southern California weather. I don't think that it is meant to wear IN water.

Jose has a point, but thermal isn't for laps. I have a variety of wetsuits including a plain neoprene short suit with long sleeves and a sleeveless 3/4" terry lined suit for California Deep Diving. This shirt you want is perfect for laps, so what if it is ALSO UV protection, it keeps drops of water off your arms as you lift them from the pool so cold air doesn't hit your wet arms, thus you stay warm. UV is a bonus but not your focus. Treat yourself, O'Neill has a great reputation !!

Bought this for my wife, so I asked her what she thought. She said "Both. It's a great hot-weather shirt because it's light and breathable, but I have also worn it in cooler weather over a tee-shirt, and it provides just enough extra warmth on those cool mornings." She loves the shirt, which I bought her because we were going hiking, and I so liked the men's version of the shirt, which I have worn for several years. Hope that helps.

This is a very thin (also very flexible) neoprene shirt that will give you little protection from very cold temperatures and yes,,, water will enter at the neckline.

We found it is water resistant for swimming, but not very sweat resistant. Areas where he sweated heavily (middle of chest, around underarms) did get a little bit sunburned on my partner, but we both swam in the ocean and this did not affect the performance of the product at all.

Well this is only a rashguard tee. If you bought a wetsuit top, the sleeves would be tight.

Water resistant. It fits well around the waist and it would fit under a long sleeve .. If needed

I haven't worn mine in the summer, but I think it would definitely be too hot. It's not like a regular underarmour shirt, it has a little extra insulation to keep you warm. If you're looking for a longsleeved workout shirt, I think Underarmour makes HeatGear that is specifically designed to be worn in warm weather.

No it won't keep you warm in cold water the fabric isn't that thick. It's better for sun protection.

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price

I don't think you would have a problem. I bought this in black and I just spent last Sunday all day at the beach in Miami weather (over 90 degrees), mostly outside walking and sunbathing, and I did not feel hot. If you get it in a color other than black and with the wind factor, I don't any problem wearing this for sun protection.

I would recommend wearing a lightweight long sleeve shirt instead. These are quite thick, and most comfortable when getting wet.

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 think if you're looking for something to help with thunder storms, I'd try a Thunder Shirt first. If that fails, then you could try this product. I think this product is more designed for long-term stress issues, since it takes a while to "build up" and start working.
