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.

It has a zipper up the back with a long tab. We used it for Mexico and the water caves that are shaded. It will be much warmer than a swim suit and rash guard shirt but if the water is really cold- you may want to get a full wet suit. This one was is a great value.

This shirt will not stop you from swimming, and assuming your arms move normally without the shirt, they should function just as well with this shirt on. However, I should caution that this shirt will NOT cure your arms if they do not currently move normally, nor will it teach you to swim if you are currently unable. A more serious answer, this shirt feels great, like a typical base layer shirt that is a bit snug.

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

I guess it would depend on how big or small you need the shirt. mine goes tight so the velcro is covered.

The fabric is quite thin and can certainly be used in place of an undershirt. It would not be noticeable at all. My husband wore it before our hot weather hit, so I really don't know the answer to whether or not it retains heat. However, given the unqualified recommendation of athletes, I doubt it -- but I don't know.

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.

It might with floatation a little. I have used it in Hawaii in Salt Water. Salt water help with floatation too so I'm not sure how much the vest helps that way. It sure helps keep me warmer so I can snorkel longer though.

This shirt is for cold weather. What you need to look for is the ones for hot or warm weather. That would be the one you could wear under a baseball uniform. Just check to see what the shirt says its for. This one says cold gear. The other one will keep you cooler, unless you are playing right now with the temp being still cold out. Although, if you are the pitcher you need to keep your arm warm. Good luck!

The shirt has a spf rating of 50. I body surfed in hawaii wearing this shirt and did get burned or tan.

It seems to be for me but is just wear it at the beach. I would think so though.

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 don't know, we live in Oklahoma where it is very hot and humid in the summer and my husband prefers his when out working a lot. He had owned one previously and lost it and really wanted another. I got two, and he once again is wearing his all the time.

It will keep you warmer than going bare. I do work out in a warm pool but it is below body temp. The surrounding air is cold. This keeps my arms and shoulders from getting cold. Order the size you wear and this shirt is longer. It is supposed to fit tight. The zipper up the front helps with getting in and out of it.

I live in Florida and bought the shirts to serve as sunscreen any time of the year but they are pretty lightweight and breathable so they don't really keep you very warm on a cool day. They're made to wear in warmer weather and, like I said, they let air flow pretty well and still provide a UPF of 50... I guess the answer is... it's for a hot summer... and they do have nifty tabs so you can roll up and make short sleeves... I love the two shirts I got and the colors are very vibrant. Happy shopping!

The Over sized Bath Towel, XXL(39.5"x 71") would probably be a good fit, depending on the size of a person. As far as the microfiber towel, I see nothing wrong with using it for the beach. It would dry someone off much quicker than a cotton towel. Hope this helps, enjoy the beach.
