After trying and returning a pair of swim leggings "for men" purchased from Amazon, I couldn't be happier with my purchase from Waterlust. These leggings are actually designed for men, and the build quality is exceptional. Thick, stretchy, and comfortable fabric shows no signs of wear after using them several times in a pool and then on week+ vacation to Hawaii where we did lots of snorkelling and water activities. I loved not having to put on as much sunscreen. If you are in the market for a pair of swim leggings, I highly recommend possible spending the extra money and getting these. Definitely worth it.
One note: I was a little skeptical about having the waistband tie on the outside, but after using them I think this is right design choice. The coreless paracord used for the waist string would be uncomfortable if it tied on the inside, but on the outside they are comfy and seem very durable. Love the metal grommets where the waist string comes out of the fabric. Great attention to detail in the design.
My sweet partner born in the Midwest has only adopted marine exploration since he started dating me, at this point in my life simply a citizen marine scientist. His Waterlust gear has always performed exceptionally….even up to his high standards as an engineer. His dive leggings are another exceptional product with the added bonus of helping him look like the Abarracuda and Fish model he is! 🥰 Perfect for La Jolla cove snorkeling, and he loves the fit, comfort and fashion. Thanks Waterlust!

I got these leggings to wear kayaking (specifically for taking out lots of different demo boats for lunch time paddle sessions from my shop's fleet). Hopping in for such a quick paddle often means not taking the time to really get the outfitting set up super well. The leggings have been super comfortable to wear even in boats with less than optimal outfitting--and as an added bonus, it's kind of nice to have a barrier between my legs and the sometimes river funk-i-fied demo kayaks. I know all the whitewater paddle bros think surf trunks are the cool way to go, but from a purely practical sense, leggings make a lot of sense--I think these will be my go-to choice this summer.
The pattern is beautiful, they fit great, and I feel like Aquaman
My only suggestion for improvement is the draw string. It’s tiny, and a tight knit will eventually be difficult to untie.
