The unique scalation on their carapace, flippers and head makes the sea turtle a geometric wonder of patterns and colors. Our print features the earthy tones of Chelonia mydas, commonly known as the green sea turtle, a mysterious and charismatic nomad of tropical and subtropical seas around the planet.

A solitary species that rarely interacts with others outside of mating rituals, sea turtles struggle to survive from the day they hatch out of their egg. Sea turtle mortality rates are depressingly high, about 99% of juveniles will meet their demise before reaching sexual maturity. Dr. Mariana Fuentes is a marine conservation biologist at Florida State University and focuses her research on developing science-based solutions for the conservation and management of sea turtles. Her research group integrates field-based ecology with systematic conservation planning, decision theory approaches, climate modeling and applied qualitative and geographic spatial analysis to answer a series of ecological and management topics related to sea turtles.
10% of profits from your purchase will be donated to the FSU Marine Turtle Research, Ecology and Conservation Group, led by Dr. Mariana Fuentes, and will be used to fund two projects. The first initiative is to assess the effects that the recreational bay scallop fishery has on sea turtles in the Big Bend of Florida. Researchers will collect biological, ecological and spatial data on sea turtles in the region and use it to inform management practices to better protect these endangered species. The second is to increase night monitoring of St. George Island, Florida and to identify threats to turtles nesting there. The information gained will aid in identifying critical habitats and provide important information to better understand the size, nesting behaviors, and movements of sea turtles in the region.

These Sea Turtle leggings are the bees knees! I am the hippest sixty one year old out there when I wear these beauties! I am 5'4" and 160, so not the anything like the slim models in the photos, but the medium fits me very nicely. Love the pockets for my phone I neeeed it near me at all times.
I have been eyeing these for quite a while, and was very excited to get them as an early holiday present. I wanted to give them 1,000 stars, because I love how they're made and the fact that they give back to causes I am passionate about. On first impressions, I DO think they're worth the money. I am usually a size M or L in yoga leggings (size 8/10 in Lucky jeans, size M in Balance Collection and RBX leggings, L in Calvin Klein leggings). I purchased the L size and it's a pretty good fit; form fitting with moderate compression in the stomach and not see through that I can tell, although there is a bit of extra fabric behind the knee that might be weird in the water (see pics) and the waist band does roll (but I'm the first to admit that middle aged spread has hit me hard during quaratine).
My only complaint, and the reason for the 4 stars, is that if you hem the leggings at all, you lose most, if not ALL, of the black/white pattern on the bottom. And while I really like the turtle shell pattern, I think the black and white pattern on the calf really breaks it up and elevates the overall look of the legging. I'm 5'6 with what I thought were average length legs, and as you can see in my pictures, the black/white starts much lower on my legs than it does on the women in the website pictures. If I were to hem the leggings to my ankle, there would be only a smidgen of the black and white pattern left. It would be really nice if that part got moved up the leg so you didn't lose it all if you hem.
The leggings are super comfy and I love the pockets. The fit on the waistband is a bit loose though and I am frequently pulling them up if I am up moving around. Otherwise they fit great.
These are the comfiest leggings I've ever owned! So far great for yoga and running, yet to be worn in water but have every faith! Delivery to the UK was much quicker than expected. I'm so happy with them and will certainly be buying from waterlust again! Thanks so much!
I. Love. These. Leggings!!! I was a little skeptical to buy these at first because I thought the design might look a little funny around the crotch area, but they honestly look great! Like all of Waterlust's leggings, the material is super smooth and comfortable, very stretchy and easy to move in. I bought some of the older versions of the leggings, so I was super excited about the addition of the pockets and the double waistband. These leggings are super unique, and I feel like I stand out in the best way when I wear them. Thank you Waterlust!
I love the feel and the fit. I like that they are plenty long, I do not plan to cut them. I like the design, and people ask and it's fun to say that I'm also supporting a good cause.
