Comfortable but felt weighted down when wet. Not like a traditional bathing suit.  

LOVE them! DO go down a size or two if you want compression; as, they do run large or are simply loose fitting. I need/want compression because I just had lipo, which requires post-surgery compression; and, because it improves my shape. I swam laps in them yesterday in 96 degree heat. They were cool, light in the water, and they dried fast. Great performance. They give attractive modesty for this 50 plus water gal; and, I have had fat/ugly thighs and knees to hide since utero.  I'm getting the skirted capri and more colors and styles today. I will bike, kayak, boat, canoe, walk, swim, paddle board - live in them all summer...

I invested in a pair of swim tights, primarily to use while snorkeling.  It allowed me to be the first one in the water (no more taking forever to goop on lotion), protected me from the sun, and as an extra bonus protected me from the inevitable abrasions from coral and rocks.

I bought these in anticipation of a rails to trails bike trip. They were comfortable and kept my legs cool. It was wonderful not having to worry about sweating off the sunscreen and applying more to my legs as the afternoon wore on.

They worked out great. Made me relax without worry of having too much sun.

I bought these tights for an all day kayak tour in Hawaii and they were perfect. I did not have to worry about the sun and could jump right into the water for swimming. I never felt too hot or weighted down in them and found them to be very comfortable.

I bought these after my dermatologist reccomended  using tights for my  noon swim. I was afraid they would add drag to my lap swimming, but was pleasantly surprised at how little they impacted my pace. I am very pleased with them so far.

These swim tights cover me up to protect my easily burned skin from the harsh sun and fit me really well. I feel very comfortable in the water and outside the pool. In addition to keeping the sun off, they flatter my legs a whole lot better than showing my old lady legs in a regular skin revealing skimpy bathing suit.   I can actually go out in public and feel confident in this swim attire.
