Advocate Apparel Inspired by the largest fish in the sea, the whale shark (Rhincodon typus)

Whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are fish, not whales - allowing them to hold the esteemed title of "largest fish in the sea" (since sharks are fish too!). These charismatic creatures can reach lengths of 12 meters (40 feet) or more! Despite their large size, they feed on some of the smallest organisms in the sea, plankton. Hanging vertically in the water column they're able to suction feed and filter these tiny organisms through their gill rakers much like a giant vacuum cleaner pulls dust and dirt from a kitchen floor, filtering the fragments into its chamber within.

Unfortunately, approximately 100 million sharks are killed every year by humans, through direct targeted fishing efforts as well as unintended bycatch from other fisheries. The whale shark is one species of shark that is particularly vulnerable to this commercial fishing due to their high value in international trade, in addition to their highly migratory nature and normally low abundance. Research into the lives of these gentle giants can help us to manage their populations and keep these magnificent fish in the ocean where they belong.

“Waterlust's support provides critical seed funding for us to rapidly develop and implement whale shark conservation projects in areas where this globally-endangered species is most at risk. This includes Mozambique, where our research and awareness work helped the government decide to fully protect whale sharks just a few weeks ago. We love working with a company that is so committed to making a positive change in the world.”

Love my Whale Shark Leggings

My only suggestion for improvement is the draw string. It’s tiny, and a tight knit will eventually be difficult to untie.

Great leggings, love the pockets

Bought these for my local summer diving where hydroids can be a problem. The fit is great and the pockets super handy for small things even a spare torch for night dives fits in place without any discomfort.

How about a pair in Tiger Shark pattern next.

Hard-to-buy-for husband approves!

My husband doesn't like to try many new things (clothing, food, TV shows). After he got jealous of my leggings (not sunburned from kayaking all day, not too warm like a wetsuit, and has a environmentally friendly reputation), he gave in and asked me to purchase some for him. He sized up as he is a little self-conscious about his figure and they fit great. They could be a little longer, but other than that they fit well, have good stretch and he likes the drawstring and pockets. Waterlust has good products, and are environmentally conscious. I have no regrets from any of my purchases with them. FYI husband's measurements are: 6'2", ~190lbs, 36" waist, ordered: XL - is a little loose, but not too baggy and very comfortable for him.

Sharks Stems!

The first time I wore the full combo of whale shark leggings and sun shirt I encountered a whale shark the same day!! It’s all about manifestation! I’m a 30”x 32” waist/ inseam and these leggings fit just right. Always getting compliments on this swag.
