I love Waterlust. Lust is accurate as far as my feelings about this gear—I always want more! The combo of the sun suit and leggings suited me perfectly! I was the talk of the dive boat.
This outfit kept me warm and safe from jellies etc. in tropical waters, and fit like a glove. I also own the whale shark and orca leggings, as well as the whale shark sun shirt. Of all of these, I prefer the mantis shrimp line, design-wise.
I’m 5’5” and weight about 155. The sun suit is an M (could have done an L too) and the leggings are M as well. These are forgiving as far as size, and if you want to wear anything underneath for water activities a bit bigger is good.
No one else makes leggings like this! They aren't cheap or flimsy. They have POCKETS, won't show your undies through the fabric, and the design is super unique! I've never seen orca-inspired leggings, these are a must have. I also appreciate the recycle-able packaging :) thanks for a great product!
I just received them so I haven't been able to try them out yet. They do fit perfectly! I was looking for a legging I can wear in the water or to the beach that comes to my ankles. I am 5'8" and I purchased a M.
Fits beautifully. The size guide is reliable! Love that the pants at the bottom are long to cover my feet. I’m fair skinned and must get as much protection from the sun as possible. I can’t wait to go to the beach and feel free to swim without fear of sunburn! Thank you, Waterlust, for making this!
I was nervous - it’s virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find good swimwear for fully plus sized people. But it was love at first zip! The fit is great and sizing totally appreciated, the pattern is beautiful, and it’s a blessing to know the company is devoted to marine ethics. Love it.
The colors are wonderful! It fits as I had hoped (although I keep waiting for someone to make petite suits for the short-waisted). The fabric seems of really good quality although I haven't been in the water yet. Really pleased thus far. Thanks, Kathy
The quality of the suit is amazing, fits perfectly (5’10, ~215 lbs, usually wears size 12-14, got this in XL based on the size guide), only 4 stars bc I haven’t gotten the chance to test it in the water but I’m so excited to wear it! The photos make the shell portion look more orange, in person it's more brown. Would recommend!!
Overall, I love this suit. The material is thick and the pattern is vibrant and fun. It’s incredibly well made, and I’m very excited to wear it on my next dive trip!
My one comment is that the suit seems to be made for people with longer torsos. When I wear the suit, there is some loose material throughout the suit and the leg openings are tight around my legs/hit me at a slightly weird angle.
I’m 5’2 140lbs and I got the size L. I think it fits perfectly, not too tight or too loose. I really like my clothes not constricting me and I’m glad I went a size up.
I’m 5”8 and 220lbs wearing the large and it fits great! Love the feeling it feels well made it’s comfy and the design is fantastic! I feel like a lil mantis shrimp!
Amazing product, very beautiful and comfy, size guide reliable ! Got complimented on the first day :)
These leggings are very comfortable and fit perfectly. Being able to trim the bottom was helpful and chose this brand just for that option. The design is pretty and just like the picture.
The band is thick and very tight. I typically wear a 34 G and as is typical of tank tops with no underwire, it creates an uncomfortable “uniboob”.
Bought the Parrotfish sun protection suit for a surf trip in Costa Rica. Bought a Medium (5’6” & 143lbs) which was a perfect fit. Loved the look, feel, sun protection and thumb holes to keep it all in place. The suit is a bit thick which I’m going to love in colder waters but was a bit warm for tropical waters. Not sure it improved my surfing but I got lots of compliments.

I can’t say enough about this sun suit. I wear mine every day under my wetsuit for work and it is perfect. I absolutely love the pattern and the fabric is so comfortable! Had a small problem with the zipper on the first one I ordered but customer service was more than willing to exchange it for a new one. Highly recommend!
They fit great. Im 5'10, 230 . All my weight is in the legs and the length and fit are perfect
I purchased the lionfish long leggings, reversible top/bra, and long-sleeve swimsuit. Love them all! Great fit, and the fabric is very good quality. I was so much more comfortable swimming and paddleboarding in the ocean with this stylish coverage. Highly recommend! I will buy suits from Waterlust in the future.
I had to return and size up XXL for me as 5'6" 190 pounds small chest. I have Lupus and my meds make me balloon so the XL would have fix 5 pounds ago but not now. Preparing for more ballooning. Very excited to be able to swim with the SPF protection as I am UV/sun sensitive.
VERY THANKFUL!
