Our sun shirts allow you to spend hours outside in the sun without overheating or cooking your largest organ in UV radiation. Lightweight, airy, stylish, and fun, sun protection as rad as you!
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.
Made from recycled materials and knitted into an ultra fine, lightweight fabric, think of it as the working persons stretchy silk. So silky smooth and cool to the touch, your skin literally gets goosebumps when you put it on, but stays shielded from the sun all day on the water. You can stand in an asphalt parking lot on a hot, humid, sunny day in Miami in July at noon and still feel cool. Yep, our test team tested it…reluctantly.

Getting ready to dive at the Red Sea on our first liveaboard. My dive buddy and I will be Whale Shark Twinkies; he has the Whaleshark Sun Shirt and matching Board Shorts and I have the Whaleshark Sun Shirt (women's), and leggings! We will be super cute!
Love this company and its products. We were able to exchange a gift hassle free months after it was given. The rash guard is perfect. Thank you so much.
Get this - Hubby and I are in Raja Ampat, snorkeling the best reefs in the world, but his current rash guard did not cover the back of his neck and he got a very bad sunburn not only on his neck but also on the back of his hands. Next day, I meet Ann from Florida who is wearing the most rocking mantis shrimp one piece body suit rash guard and I just have to ask her where she got it. Ann proceeds to tell me about this amazing company, Waterlust, that not only makes great, thoughtful clothing, but also does great things for the environment! Well as soon as I got back home to Canada, I searched it up! I ordered hubby this whale shark rash guard and it has a hood that he can pull up and thumb holes in the sleeves that he can pull down when he is face down in snorkel and there will be no more burnt necks or hands! Plus now he is as cute as can be rocking the awesome whale shark spots! For reference, he does not like a snug rash guard so I ordered the Large which fit exactly how he likes on his 6’1”, 170 lbs frame.
The shirt was given as a gift. I got the size wrong and after a quick return for a larger size my son loves it!
It’s super awesome and comfy, ya heard me.
Got this sun shirt for my husband for our trip to St John and all the snorkeling we planned to do. He wore it in the water and on land when we were just walking around. It fit great, kept him cool, and didn’t need nearly as much (expensive reef safe) sunscreen. Size L and he’s 185 and 5’11”
