Bought these for a kayak fishing trip to a mangrove lagoon in Baja. Was looking for comfortable and form fitting leg protection for being on the water all day. These leggings worked fantastically well. Kept my legs from getting burned and were super comfortable when using my Hobie pedal kayak. They also worked very well when I beached the kayak and walked while sight fishing the flats. I was right in the middle of the size chart between medium and large, so I ordered both in case the medium was too tight. Medium size stretched well and was not overly tight. So pleased instead of returning the large, I exchanged for another medium. The exchange process was extremely easy. Great product!
I normally don’t write reviews for items that I’ve purchased but this suit deserves shining feedback. Not only is the Whale Shark design beautiful but the fabric is very substantial and good quality as well as the suit’s construction. I struggle to remember to reapply my sunscreen and this suit was a perfect solution. I wore it all day out on a boat and had gotten in and out of the water with no sun damage to my skin. I’m 5’ 9”, 157lbs, bra size 36 DD with an athletic hourglass shape and I was extremely impressed with the fit. I used the fitting guide for sizing and it was spot on it recommended a medium. I’m recommending these suits to everyone I know!
This was my first Waterlust purchase. I love the emphasis on conservation, but also importantly the gear actually performs! It's the best thing I've ever worn snorkeling. The material is a bit thicker but doesn't feel hot. The fit is so comfortable, I can move freely and there is gentle (but comfortable!) compression so that everything stays put. It's a winner! I will absolutely purchase another and try other styles as well.
I Love this suit so much that I have just purchased the Sun-Kissed Sea full body and the Mantis Moxie Sun Suit to wear with my Mantis leggings. I Adore this company and what they stand for which makes it easy to purchase from them however the fact that their products are amazing will clearly keep me coming back as well as singing their praises to others. Every time I wear this suit people (men and women) stop me to ask where I got it. As you can see in the photo's I also wear the matching ball cap on less sunny days. I try to stay as covered up as possible. I am 5'7' 130 lbs and I am wearing the Small.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my suit. The colors are vibrant underwater and it's super comfy. Quality is great as well, it survived 7 days of 4 dives per day without a problem. Highly recommend!
I have had such a hard time finding plus size swim wear to actually swim in, not just sit next to a pool. These fit great, even though I am over 6 foot, and plus size with different size for hip and bust and they stay put while swimming laps (including flip turns) surfing and sailing.
Doing a happy dance in my Best Day Ever Shorts 😊. Vitamin Sea here I come 💙. Thanks so very much for such an awesome service 🙏
Just received the rashguard and It fits perfectly! Very comfortable and the colors are bold. (Bust: 41in under bust:36in 5ft3)
I absolutely love these shorts. I may not have plans to visit the ocean or go swimming, but I wear these all the time to keep up with my kids, do a little yoga and then follow the kids to the splash pad. For indoors, outdoors, bathtime and workout time, these shorts do it all. Plus, the pocket on the side is ideal for cell phone, little toy cars, laundry card, and tissues. The ocean themed designs are a great conversation starter.
Thanks Waterlust!
I love that there’s three pockets, one back pocket with zipper, and the built in underwear are so soft! These are gender neutral so both my husband and I can wear them. They are great for beach, boat, swimming, and snorkeling. Drawstraing waist means it stays on but doesn’t squeeze my gut. I highly recommend these shorts!
These are ittttt. The make the fit. And in the field 🥲😮💨😮💨😮💨
I love this fit! The body isn't too tight but still works well as swim top. I will be wearing this out for kayaking, cooler days on the water, and when I want more sun protection.
As a citizen marine scientist in Oregon I rarely get an opportunity to use such warm weather gear in the field, but my Biscayne/Pennekamp/Dr Tortugas road-trip was the perfect opportunity to try out the swim gear and it’s truly exceptional. Thoughtfully designed, solidly stitched, beautiful, and who doesn’t want to run around without pants pretending to be a giant shrimp?! Take it from the joy on my face I’ll be ordering more. Love this brand!
I have three sun suits and they all fit very true to size. I work on the water in Hawaii and wear them all the time to work! I tend to get cold in the water easily, and these help to keep me warm. They are not as thick as a wetsuit, but provide enough coverage and are tight enough to keep warm in the water. They also are SUPER cute and support amazing causes. I also want to give a shoutout to Waterlust for taking care of their customers. I lost my suits due to a natural disaster and they replaced them free of charge. They even added a sweet little note on my shipping label. Small acts like this mean a lot!! LOVE this company.
I love my new full body swim suit. I’ve been swimming laps in long sleeves for years to avoid skin damage. This suit is light enough that I’ll be able to have full body movement (unlike my scuba suit, and it is oh so beautiful! I purchased the swim top to go under it, and a pair of briefs elsewhere so I can put on my full suit once I get to the water, and peel it off after my swim when I’m heading back to my hotel. I can’t wait to get to Hawaii and put it on! I really appreciated seeing real body women wearing the suits to help me choose the correct size. The Medium is perfect for my body. Thanks!
