Yes! That's the beauty of the customizable inseam length. Our leggings 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”, and 23”. You can crop to 7/8ths length or customize for your height.

Like you, our leggings are amphibious, meaning they are equally at home underwater or on land. Whether protecting your skin from UV radiation at the beach, wicking away sweat and heat at the gym, or hugging your bodacious bits in all the right ways while sipping nay nay on the couch (#nojudgement), these are the most versatile pants on the planet. And yes, they have pockets.

Made from post-consumer bottles AND old textiles through our Take-Back Program. We collect your old clothes, put them in a wood chipper (joking…kinda), and convert them into fiber, then fabric, then back into brand new clothing. Because textile waste comes in different colors, the resulting recycled fiber ends up looking brown, like a child finger-painting with ALL the colors at once kind of brown. Yuk! To fix this mess, the fibers are dyed black during the recycling process.

Apparel that supports textile recycling

According to the EPA, 87% of apparel textiles are not recycled annually in the United States, meaning millions of tons of old clothes are piled into landfills every year. While recycling infrastructure exists for things like plastic bottles and aluminum cans, textile recycling is far less developed and accessible. This is a missed opportunity because the raw materials within some kinds of clothing (like ours!) can be used to create entirely new fabric, as long as it’s done carefully. By purchasing products made from recycled textiles, you are financially supporting the infrastructure that enables recycling to happen and signaling to manufacturers that you value circularity.

In the world of environmentally responsible fabrics, we think there are two clear leaders from an end-of-life perspective: those that are entirely made from natural fibers, and those made entirely of synthetic fibers. 100% natural fabrics like organic cotton are beneficial because they are biodegradable and recyclable, while 100% synthetic fabrics are beneficial because they are recyclable. Fabrics that blend natural and synthetic fibers together are not currently biodegradable or recyclable with today’s technology, which is why we don’t make them.

Black 3xl

They fit great. Im 5'10, 230 . All my weight is in the legs and the length and fit are perfect

Black swim leggings

These swim leggings are very comfortable to swim in and also look great worn as regular old leggings. I am very pleased with how they both function and look. I am always recommending this brand to everyone who will listen and absolutely love everything I have bought from them. My sunsuit is now at least 3 years old and is constantly in use throughout the summer and is still going strong, I am predicting the same from these leggings. I have lupus and need to be very careful about exposure to the sun triggering a flare up, this swimwear lets me enjoy my life and the beach/river/lake and stay protected.

Nice quality and prompt shipping.

Great quality and fit. I like the fact that I can customize the length to make it not bunch up at my ankles.

Black Circularity Leggings

Bought both S & M, keeping both! Size chart recommended M, fits exactly as described, will wear for hiking, lounge. S fits slightly tight which is what I need for scuba diving. Video Instructions provided to shorten is perfect, as I am 5 ft and had to cut to 23”.

    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.
