Characteristic spots and stripes adorn the largest fish in the sea forming an intricate pattern, like a warrior painted for battle. Scientists use these distinctive markings to identify individual whale sharks. Like a fingerprint, each is as unique and special as the last.

Men’s leggings, meggings, tights, compression pants, dive skins… whatever you like to call them, they’re engineered specifically for the fellas and built to protect watermen from sunburn, board rash, jelly and coral stings.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by the largest fish in the sea, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus)

Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are fish, not whales - allowing them to hold the esteemed title of "largest fish in the sea" (since sharks are fish too!). These charismatic creatures can reach lengths of 12 meters (40 feet) or more! Despite their large size, they feed on some of the smallest organisms in the sea, plankton. Hanging vertically in the water column they're able to suction feed and filter these tiny organisms through their gill rakers much like a giant vacuum cleaner pulls dust and dirt from a kitchen floor, filtering the fragments into its chamber within.

Unfortunately, approximately 100 million sharks are killed every year by humans, through direct targeted fishing efforts as well as unintended bycatch from other fisheries. The whale shark is one species of shark that is particularly vulnerable to this commercial fishing due to their high value in international trade, in addition to their highly migratory nature and normally low abundance. Research into the lives of these gentle giants can help us to manage their populations and keep these magnificent fish in the ocean where they belong.

10% of profits from your purchase of this product are donated to the Marine Megafauna Foundation

The Marine Megafauna Foundation is helping to shed light on the population structure, migratory patterns, and the conservation requirements of these threatened sharks. Created in 2009, they aim to research, protect and conserve the large populations of marine megafauna (large marine species) found along the Mozambican coastline. Almost all whale sharks encountered by divers are juveniles and most are males. Where the school-bus-sized mature sharks swim, what they eat, and where the females give birth has long been a mystery, however their team is now very close to making these discoveries. 10% of profits from your purchase will go to the Marine Megafauna Foundation for satellite tags that are needed to track the movements of these large female whale sharks.

“Waterlust's support provides critical seed funding for us to rapidly develop and implement whale shark conservation projects in areas where this globally-endangered species is most at risk. This includes Mozambique, where our research and awareness work helped the government decide to fully protect whale sharks just a few weeks ago. We love working with a company that is so committed to making a positive change in the world.”

Sharks Stems!

The first time I wore the full combo of whale shark leggings and sun shirt I encountered a whale shark the same day!! It’s all about manifestation! I’m a 30”x 32” waist/ inseam and these leggings fit just right. Always getting compliments on this swag.

MEN'S Whale Shark Warrior Leggings

Awesome pants, fantastic design

I'm here just to say that this product combines all my passions. Supporting a good cause for marine research, materials sourced from upcycled plastics, and a company with a mission to do good. The bonus is they look and feel great and preform. I'm excited for my first snorkeling trip with these badbois!

MEN'S Whale Shark Warrior Leggings

Amazing leggings! I'm a believer now.

Never thought I would ever be wearing leggings, but I always wanted to try some. I'm so glad it was these! Super smooth, light, and the sizing guide made it easy to find the perfect fit! I'm 5'11" 218 lbs and the Extra Legendary fit perfectly! I won't go paddle boarding or snorkeling in anything else!

Great leggings for men!

I was pretty skeptical about how these leggins might look on a man. But they look great and are super comfortable. The extra material around the crouch really helps things look less obvious.
