Great quality and love supporting worthy cause!! The colours have not faded and the material has maintained it shape and stretch even after many dives. Highly recommend!!
Absolutely love these pants! I am not normally someone who goes for bold patterns, but I feel confident and comfortable when wearing these. The fabric is soft yet structured and I love the pockets! I haven’t quite found the double stitching on the in seam to cut them shorter, but surprisingly I like them long, so all good!
Material is heavy and the pants are too long. I have long legs, so I usually have the opposite problem.
I bought this top and legging to be able to snorkel WITHOUT having to use damaging sun block lotions. The fit is perfect, it is lightweight and good for packing. Haven't used it yet but expect it to be VERY useful!
These are my absolute favorite pair of leggings! The pattern is eye catching and beautiful, and they are easily my most comfortable pair of leggings I have EVER owned. They stand up to my busy lifestyle, and it does not matter what I incorporate into my workouts- they don't start to sag away from my waist. These are such a quality investment for me as a regular exerciser and outdoor adventurer. I plan on purchasing more pairs in the other patterns. I am 5'8" and 137" and the medium fits me perfectly.
Got my abalone leggings yesterday! Love them! They feel great, the colors are bold and gorgeous, and they’re long enough for long legged ladies!!
Known for the psychedelic patterns found on their inner shells, abalone (sea snails) feature unique colors that are created by nacre, hexagonal platelets of aragonite also known commonly as “mother of pearl” and found on a variety of mollusks. Our print features the piercing blues of New Zealand’s Pāua, the Māori name given to three species Haliotis iris, Haliotis australis and Haliotis virginea.

Abalone is the common name for a variety of marine snails that are found throughout the world’s oceans. Sought after for their meat and their beautiful shells, populations have declined rapidly and some species are now critically endangered. Our relationship with abalone illustrates the challenges of overexploitation of the marine environment. Until the 1980’s, it was widely thought that abalone populations were resilient and could effectively rebound from harvesting activities. Unfortunately, that has not proven to be true.
Abalone are “broadcast spawners,” meaning that two individuals must be within three feet of one another to sexually reproduce. This type of reproduction makes population recovery very challenging, driving the need for humans to intervene. Marine biologist Nancy Caruso is doing just that, and founded Get Inspired, a non-profit organization that specializes in marine conservation & education.
Besides physically growing juvenile abalone along California’s coast and populating them back into the coastal kelp forest marine habitat, Nancy recognizes that protecting the ocean in the future requires educating children today. That is why she has launched a 10 year initiative to grow 100,000 abalone in classrooms across the golden state and restore them along the southern California coast, inspiring and utilizing the help of the next generation of scientists along the way. 10% of profits from your purchase will be donated to this restoration effort.

Photos used to create this print were taken by Alyssa Frederick, a PhD researcher, science advocate and communicator. Her PhD research focuses on how disease and temperature stress affect abalone.
