Men’s leggings, meggings, tights, compression pants, dive skins… whatever you like to call them, they’re engineered specifically for the fellas and built to protect watermen from sunburn, board rash, jelly and coral stings.
Our signature fabric is sleek, soft, and luxurious, while strong, substantial, and resilient. It's got a gummy, supportive, and smoothing stretchiness you'll love, comfortably hugging you in all the right places.
Main fabric: 88% Repreve® RPET (recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles), 12% spandex
Eyelets: brass
Tie: high tensile strength nylon paracord
Safe, premium performance yarns: Our high-quality, fully traceable yarns are sourced through sustainable partners in the U.S. These materials meet rigorous chemical safety standards and are independently verified for over 1,000 harmful substances like BPA and PFAS through OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification.
High-quality, responsible printing: Our products are printed using heat transfer sublimation, a printing technique that is widely considered to be the safest for both workers and the environment. It requires no water, eliminates dye from entering water systems, and minimizes ink and fabric waste. All the inks and dyes we use are also OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified.
Recycled materials, minimal waste: Our commitment to environmental responsibility starts with sustainable fibers and yarns. We use synthetic yarns made from recycled plastic bottles, which helps remove and repurpose existing plastic.

Flat $5 shipping on every U.S. order. Shipping is a real cost, we keep it low, flat, and honest. No inflated prices hiding “free” shipping, no pressure to over-buy to hit a threshold. Just a simple $5 that encourages more intentional ordering, which means less waste and fewer emissions. International orders just pay cost to ship, which is calculated at checkout.
Orders are lovingly packaged using minimal packaging and eco-responsible materials, and shipped from our wonderful partner warehouse in Pennsylvania within the same or next business day. We’ll email you with your tracking info as soon as your order is shipped.

Comfortable, quality leggings. Perfect for sun protection and protection from bugs, thistles, branches and other objects. Great for fresh & saltwater. Handy side pocket.
I wore these for six straight days of catch-and-release wade fishing on Christmas Island. Very comfortable. Rinsed them each evening with a hose, hung them out to dry, and put them on the next morning. Did not have to use sunscreen on my legs while fishing on the reefs.
