Advocate Apparel Inspired by the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas)

A solitary species that rarely interacts with others outside of mating rituals, sea turtles struggle to survive from the day they hatch out of their egg. Sea turtle mortality rates are depressingly high, about 99% of juveniles will meet their demise before reaching sexual maturity.

6 out of the 7 species of sea turtles are listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as either vulnerable or critically endangered. Marine turtles are threatened by pollution, marine plastics and debris, climate change, boat strikes, poaching and bycatch, and habitat loss.

10% of profits from your purchase of this product are donated to The Florida State University Marine Turtle Research, Ecology and Conservation Group

Comfy, love the prints

I love that these are reversible. I wear a medium in bra’s (32/34 C) and got a small. It fits pretty good with no major bouncing. The bra has no padding but it also didn’t make me completely flat.

Love!

I love how comfortable this top is! So, wether you’re diving or working out it’s comfy and cute. I would love to see these have long sleeves to help protect against the sun! I would buy it asap! 😍🙌🎉

Sea turtles should be proud

The pattern on the top is amazing and it’s so comfy and supportive at the same time! I got my package and immediately wore the top for about 5 hours. I can’t wait to add to my collection!

Awesome!

Love this print! My daughter pairs the blue and white side with some navy compression shorts and the turtle side with her black bikini bottoms! It fits her great, gives her some compression but not uni-boob. She wears a 36 C/D, 5 ft 4 in tall, and about 150 lbs.

Comfortable and secure

I love the seamless design. I usually wear a rashguard and often a wetsuit or similar tight exposure suit when snorkeling or diving, and I struggle to find women's swimsuit tops without buckles or ties that fit comfortably under other swim clothes. This top fits very comfortably and is great as a swim top or a tank top. It offers a fair bit of coverage, for sun protection or just security/comfort, compared to similar sports bras or swim tops. It offers enough support and is thick enough that I don't need a bra when wearing it as a shirt, although my cup size is small. I love the reversible pattern. Because of the snug design and thick fabric, this top can be a bit challenging to get off, but it is doable, and most swim tops without buckles or ties present a similar challenge.

I love all your products!

Thanks for the great customer service in processing my exchange and responding so promptly to my emails! I’d say this top runs true to size. I’m 5’8” and around 125 lbs and the medium fits well. I get soooo many compliments on my tops and leggings!
