Parrotfish Protection Leggings

The coral reef ecosystems that cover our globe provide essential food and habitat to over 25% of all marine life. The parrotfish is a common animal found among these ecosystems and are a crucial keystone species who are responsible for cleaning the corals from harmful algae. The abundance of parrotfish can be related directly to the health of our coral reef ecosystems.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by the spotted parrotfish (cetoscarus ocellatus)

While parrotfish come in many amazing colors and patterns, this print is inspired by a male, terminal phase spotted parrotfish, native to the Indo-Pacific. Considered the most effective reef grazer, parrotfish serve an important function in maintaining the health of coral reefs. In fact, a 2014 IUCN report surveyed the health of Caribbean coral reefs from 1970-2012 and found that one of the most impactful actions we can take to restore the health of coral reef habitat is to protect parrotfish!

If that isn’t reason enough to love these bright and beautiful fish, an individual poops up to 200 lbs of sand a year, a critical source of sediment for beaches! For example, in Vakkaru Island in the Maldives, a 2015 study found that over 85% of their beach sand had been produced by parrotfish!

Great swim leggings!

These fit so nicely and the fabric is incredible. Cannot wait to wear them for snorkeling.

Love

I recently moved to a beach in Mexico. In order to really enjoy life here I need to maximize my UV protection. These clothes are made for use in the ocean, so the technical aspects will help me save my skin. But the fabric is beautiful. I feel like I’m gonna be the prettiest mermaid! I am 5 foot 11, 175 pounds, and the extra large fits perfectly.

Lovely!

The colors are so vivid—even prettier in real life. I’m a pretty medium medium and these provide some compression but aren’t tight.

Finally...

This review is for the Paradise Protection Leggings. I love the fact 5'2 me is able to adjust the length easily (there's even a video how-to). The leggings are both beautiful well-made. I can go to the gym then jump in the water for a swim, followed by a paddle without having to change clothes! I was wondering how the print would look once on. Great! No slippage. Quality and ethically made. By the way, I purchased 3 other pair.

great, but I don't like pockets

I mean the pockets are maybe useful to someone but I wear shorts with zipper pockets. Because of where the pocket is I think my thighs look wider and the seams show through my shorts. I'm not sure what I would trust to stay in those pockets while boarding.

Perfection

I ordered the Parrotfish leggings and was kept well informed about the shipment. I tried them on and the leggings were a perfect fit. I then used them for leg protection for the sport of Windfoiling. They are extremely comfortable and protected my legs beautifully. Thank you!
