Tag & Release Sailfish Leggings

Iridescent blues, metallic silvers and golden copper hues flash and reflect the light as a sailfish shifts its colors with it’s changing mood. Specialized, pigment containing cells within the skin called chromatophores and iridophores receive signals from the nervous system, resulting in a startling display of colors from what many consider to be the fastest fish in the sea.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by sailfish (Istiophorus)

Sailfish (Istiophorus), also known as billfish (along with swordfish, marlin, and spearfish) are characteristically known for their elongated nasal bones which form the “bill”, and their dorsal fin (known as a sail) that stretches the length of their back. Their aerodynamic bodies and long bills are built for speed, and many consider them to be the fastest fish in the ocean. This speed, agility, and dynamic nature make them one of the world's most renowned sportfish for recreational anglers.

Our purpose in creating this print is to tell the story of these fish and capture some of the iridescent colors that make them so special. As one of the ocean's top predators, they play an important role in the ecosystem and as prized sportfish they sustain important recreational fisheries, making them both economically and culturally important. We believe fishermen (and women!) can be some of the strongest advocates for the ocean and the species that inhabit it. Our Tag & Release Sailfish print represents this exciting species and promotes responsible fishing practices.These include tag & release fishing and minimizing the stress experienced by a fish while caught. Continued research, education, and responsible policy management benefits both sailfish populations and the recreational fishing industry that advocates for them.

Through their products and platform, we can introduce people to billfish (possibly for the first time) and their importance to the ecosystem and communities alike. The funding from their advocacy apparel supports the projects that are the cornerstones (research, advocacy, and education) of TBF’s success in billfish conservation."

Pattern Fabulous!

This pattern is just beautiful in person and I wish that there were more products using this fabric. It is the most underrated fabric at Waterlust and it is as fabulous as the creatures that it is modeled after!

I absolutely love my new leggings. Super comfortable both in and out of the water, fast drying and great sun protection.

Absolutely Perfect!

I love to offshore fish and do lots of other sun related activities. I got diagnosed with melanoma, and thankfully we caught it early, but now I really need to pay attention to how much sun I get. I bought these leggings after stalking them for about a year. They are expensive for me, but well worth the cost. I put them through the wringer this weekend. They performed amazingly well! They are not hot, feel great in the water, dry within 30min, and OMG they have huge pockets😍. They came home stained with fish blood and bait (gross🤢), but a little OxyClean Max Force and a good wash, and they are good as new! Just ordered another pair!
