Yes! That's the beauty of the customizable inseam length. Our legs 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”, 23”, 8", 4", and 2". You can crop the long legs to your favorite shorty length or customize for your height.

See how here.

Our fabric is very stretchy and forgiving, which allows for a comfortable fit for lots of different torso lengths. We've tried them on many people with varying torso lengths and always gotten good feedback! If you're worried about a really long torso, sizing up will give you a little more room too. 

We guarantee you will love your Waterlust purchase or your money back! If you receive one of our products and are not pleased with it for any reason, we would be happy to take it back in its original form for a full refund or exchange within 60 days of purchase.

No restocking fees and free return shipping both ways for orders within the United States. International orders just need to pay return shipping, if exchanging we'll cover the cost to ship the new item back to you.

The unique scalation on their carapace, flippers and head makes the sea turtle a geometric wonder of patterns and colors. Our print features the earthy tones of Chelonia mydas, commonly known as the green sea turtle, a mysterious and charismatic nomad of tropical and subtropical seas around the planet.

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.

5% of sales from your purchase of this product are donated to The Florida State University Marine Turtle Research, Ecology and Conservation Group

“Waterlust support allows our lab to collect biological and ecological data on sea turtles both at their foraging and nesting areas, to inform their management and conservation.”

Sea Turtle Survivor Sun Suit

Perfect material and incredible cute!

I saw someone wearing this and was on a mad search to find it. I am obsessed with sea turtles and when I ordered this and found out the company sends you emails teaching you deep details about them, I was overjoyed. The bathing suit fits perfect and the material is so soft and stretchy.

Turtle Love

Super comfortable fabric, flattering fit (true to size), and totally badass turtle vibes. I loved the sun suits I ordered so much, I went back and bought the matching leggings. Rocking such a rad suit while also supporting our ocean friends? Win-win!

Perfect for Florida sun

The fit of small was right on for a 5’5”, 115 lb female. Only one problem and that is the neck band. It’s a bit tight when fully zipped. Believe that I can stretch it out just enough to be comfortable . Love the recycled material. Who knew that plastic bottles could be so comfortable?! The suit is perfect paired with the leggings for paddle boarding. Saves putting on sun screen over and over all day.

Great details

It’s got great details from the thumb hole with extra padding to the zipper with the wetsuit string to help zip it up. Fits well according to their recommended sizes.

I love my turtle super suit!

I got the sun suit and matching leggings for an upcoming scuba trip and I love the placement of the pattern and feel like a turtle superhero when wearing them together. I also like being able to wear the leggings separately for hiking.
