The stunning black and white colors of the orca make it one of the world’s most recognizable animals. As the ocean’s top predator, they play a significant role in balancing the global marine ecosystem. There are approximately 50,000 orcas left on the planet, with some subpopulations facing many threats including food limitations, chemical contaminants, and disturbances from vessel traffic and sound.

Advocate Apparel Inspired by the orca (Orcinus orca)

Orcas are the largest species in the dolphin family and can grow to be 32 feet in length and weigh in at a whopping 11 tons. They can be found worldwide and have the largest range of all cetacean (dolphin, whale, and porpoise) species. This large range has created subspecies around the world that slightly vary from one another. Orcas can be found in both open ocean and near-shore environments. These dolphins have the most varied diet of all cetaceans but vary regionally. For example, the resident orcas (those that live specifically in one geographic area) of the pacific northwest exclusively eat fish (mainly salmon) while the transient orcas (those that are just passing through a geographic area) in the same region eat marine mammals and squid.

One reason orca populations need strong conservation efforts is because of their reproductive characteristics that limit them to producing few young over a long period of time. Female orcas do not reach sexual maturity until 10-13 years of age. Once sexually active, females can only birth a single calf with each pregnancy. The gestational period lasts for 15-18 months and each calf must nurse from its mother for a year and then will remain with its mother until approximately 2 years of age. Because of this, one female orca can only produce one calf every 3.5-4 years.

All in all, the birth rate in orcas is not well understood, but these low levels of reproduction inhibit many orca populations' ability to quickly recover from environmental disturbances.

10% of profits from your purchase of this product are donated to the Center for Whale Research

Since 1976, the Center for Whale Research (CWR) has been the leading organization studying the Southern Resident Orca population and their critical habitat of the Salish Sea. CWR is the leading voice for this gravely endangered population, having generated over four decades of scientific research and health assessments. This work has been used to inform decision-makers and elected officials about the orcas' ecosystem requirements to ensure the future viability of this playful, social, and beloved population of animals. CWR's unique on-the-water research approach entails recording information through whale encounters that provide essential social, demographic, health, and geographic information. CWR offers this information to U.S. and Canadian government agencies annually for conservation and management purposes.

Amazing!!

I love how they feel, the pockets are perfect and they fit so nicely. Most importantly, the design and pattern are perfect. I love orcas :)

And I love how eco friendly everything is. Definitely will be buying more.

Beautiful and comfortable!

I have a couple of other pairs of Waterlust leggings and was so excited for these to be released. They are super comfortable. Such a simple yet beautiful design to support a great cause.

Very comfortable, exactly as pictured.

I love how these feel, though it's hard hard to describe. Like very heavy silk maybe. They are super comfortable. Also, I'm a tall woman and these leggings can even stretch over my heels. The pattern looks exactly like the pictures.

As Always

I have bought multiple leggings from here and I have always loved each and every one. These orca leggings are soft, comfortable, and I love that a part of the proceeds go toward the research and conservation of Orca whales!

Great quality leggings

I bought these leggings to free dive and swim in because I don’t like using sunscreen but need to protect my skin. My initial thought when I put them on was, “Meh.” While I loved the orca pattern, I didn’t put 2 and 2 together to realize that the white and black would have to be sewn that way. And when you’re wearing leggings, having seams plastered against your skin doesn’t feel great. However, I fell in love with the orca pattern and was determined to ignore the seams against my skin. And ignore I did the minute I got in the water. It felt great and didn’t notice the seams at all. I was also apprehensive about the white material staining on the first day of fish cleaning - no worries. All the fish scales, guts, and blood came right off with a little blast from the hose.

Awesome Orca leggings!

I adore these leggings. Great fit and even better look!
