Advocate Apparel Inspired by coral reefs

Coral reefs are one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. In fact, they offer so much diversity that they are considered the underwater rainforest. Throughout the globe, corals are declining from ocean warming, acidification, pollution, disease, and human interaction.

In North America, there is only one continental barrier reef - Florida’s Coral Reef. Since the 1970s, Florida’s Coral Reef has lost approximately 90% of its stony corals. When coral reefs decline, so does our "shield" against storm impacts. During Hurricane Irma in 2017, Looe Key reef saw swells exceeding 20 feet while Mote's Florida Keys campus nearby saw only 5-foot swells, thanks to the reef's protection. Coral reefs also support diverse marine life, including sportfish species that make Florida the fishing capital of the world. Florida's Coral Reef is an ecotourism destination, and in total it's estimated to contribute more than $8 billion to the state's economy.

I order a Mighty (M) in leggings/bra/bodysuit and it’s perfect.

I love these leggings! I work in apparel manufacturing, so I look at things through a very keen eye and everything I’ve received has been CONSISTENTLY great quality. The fabric has enough structure to hug you in without being restrictive, and it dries like lightning. I originally bought mine to wear diving—they offer great protection in warm water and I wear under both my shorty and full wetsuits—but I find myself wanting to wear the leggings all the time!

I have an hourglass shape overall, and body is curvy but athletic, and I find the cut to be great, too!

Best leggings ever

I have been looking for a way to wear less sunscreen while still staying protected from the sun and stumbled across these leggings. I bought them because of the fun patterns and because I like that they support good causes. Now I’ll likely buy a bunch more because they are fantastic! I have nothing but good things to say about them: They dry quickly, the length is customizable, I felt like a mermaid the whole time I wore them, and they’re super comfy.

Great leggings, but they need some improvements

I love the look of my leggings! The fabric is beautiful & the fit is great. That being said, there’s still some room for improvement in the comfort department. First off, the seams feel a bit thick, especially in the crotch region. Perhaps if the little triangle portion of the crotch area were a bit bigger then it wouldn’t matter so much that the seams are on the thicker side but given how small that little triangle is & how thick the seams are, it made it a bit uncomfortable to try to wear them without also wearing something underneath which kind of defeated my plan of using them for swimming in. Second, these do feel a bit heavy once they’re wet. To an extent I did kind of expect that, but they are a bit heavier than what I was hoping they’d be. They are relatively quick-drying though so the heaviness wasn’t a huge issue, just a momentary inconvenience. Overall I really like these leggings & have enjoyed wearing them in the water. I think that if the issue with the seams could be improved upon then I’d be willing to buy multiple pairs in different prints as these are great for several different water sports!
