Yes! That's the beauty of the customizable inseam length. Our legs are made long, allowing them to fit tall people and pull over the foot for extra coverage and sun protection. The raw hem and internally stitched bar-tacks allow for customizable (unstretched/off the body - will stretch longer when worn) inseam lengths of 31”, 29”, 27”, 25”, 23”, 8", 4", and 2". You can crop the long legs to your favorite shorty length or customize for your height.

See how here.

Our fabric is very stretchy and forgiving, which allows for a comfortable fit for lots of different torso lengths. We've tried them on many people with varying torso lengths and always gotten good feedback! If you're worried about a really long torso, sizing up will give you a little more room too. 

We guarantee you will love your Waterlust purchase or your money back! If you receive one of our products and are not pleased with it for any reason, we would be happy to take it back in its original form for a full refund or exchange within 60 days of purchase.

No restocking fees and free return shipping both ways for orders within the United States. International orders just need to pay return shipping, if exchanging we'll cover the cost to ship the new item back to you.

The interface where air and water meet is a magical place, the physical crossroad where terrestrial and aquatic life on Earth interact. But not only is it our gateway to the submersed, the water's surface is also where heat is transferred to and from the atmosphere. Imagine this energy flowing through you the next time you float suspended between these two worlds.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by coastal resiliency

Approximately 40% of humans on Earth live within 100km of the ocean and currently 190 million people globally live at elevations below the projected high tide line for 2100 under low carbon emission conditions. In other words, the water is coming and we need to prepare!

Coastal resiliency is a term used to describe the ability of a community to “bounce back" after hazardous events such as hurricanes, coastal storms, and flooding – rather than simply reacting to impacts, and it is becoming one of the most important fields of study in science & engineering.

5% of sales from your purchase of this product are donated to the Alfred C. Glassell Jr. SUSTAIN Laboratory at the Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science

"The SUSTAIN laboratory's collaboration with Waterlust has been a great way to engage students in outreach. So many of them at all levels are interested in bringing our research on hurricanes and climate resilience to the general public. I also often show some of the Waterlust videos in my classes to highlight to the students how engaging this work can be when presented in an interesting way."

Great suit

I have 4 of these & wear leggings over the suit. Its very comfortable. There has been some variation in how they fit but after talking to customer support i think that has been resolved. A medium fits me but im more comfortable in the large. Even though the torso is a bit long for me, the fit is still comfortable & flattering.

Superb!!

Newbie diver here. I am 125lbs and 5’6” and got a small. I get cold easily and was diving in Roatán. It was perfect, fit like a glove and was very comfortable. Great material, thicker and more durable than a regular swimsuit. Colors are vibrant. Neck is a little snug but loosened up once in water and no issues.

WOW!

Amazing quality and excellent service (we had to get different sizes). I recommend to all!

Best. Suit. Ever❣️

Well made. Fits great. Feels like it will last a lifetime.

Nice suit

This swimsuit is great! The M size fits my 5’9” thin long torso and long arms - I tried the S but the neck was too tight. The fabric is wonderfully supportive - feels and looks great on my 65yr old body

The suit that sells itself!

I have been wearing my suit here in the Bahamas while paddle boarding and snorkelling. Many women have admired it and I know of at least one who has purchased from Waterlust after asking me about it.
I am not a small gal, 5,4 and 175. I bought a prosthetics t-shirt bra and took out the cups so I feel the ‘girls’ (36DD) are well supported and it works brilliantly under this top. My only issue is that while plump I am athletic and have not got a large bottom… would have liked a tighter fit around my tush…. not the ‘cheeky’ one I get! I also have the full suit no leggings… about to wear order the reversible top and shorts! Love this company and all it stands for!

    We don’t offer free shipping on returns or exchanges for a reason. Transporting items in planes, trains, ships, and trucks is one of the biggest environmental costs of our business, and we think it’s important that our policies reflect that. We offer two options: 1) pay up front and you can send your order back to us within 60 days at no extra cost or 2) wait until you receive your order and pay our $9.95 flat-rate return postage fee if you decide to send something back later on.
