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.

10% of profits from your purchase of this product are donated to the Marine Megafauna Foundation

The Marine Megafauna Foundation is helping to shed light on the population structure, migratory patterns, and the conservation requirements of these threatened sharks. Created in 2009, they aim to research, protect and conserve the large populations of marine megafauna (large marine species) found along the Mozambican coastline. Almost all whale sharks encountered by divers are juveniles and most are males. Where the school-bus-sized mature sharks swim, what they eat, and where the females give birth has long been a mystery, however their team is now very close to making these discoveries. 10% of profits from your purchase will go to the Marine Megafauna Foundation for satellite tags that are needed to track the movements of these large female whale sharks.

“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 the leggings. Wish you had a companion long sleeve shirt

Whale speckles

The whale shark leggings will be fun to wear when the weather gets cooler. The design feature of having different places on the hem to safely cut the fabric is very clever…. although I would have preferred that they were a couple inches longer (I’m 5’ 11”). Just one other nitpick: The lighter color at the ankles isn’t very flattering; it kind of looks like you’re wearing socks, and visually shortens the leg. I might have added that lighter color from the knees down, but just on the inside, at a diagonal or kind of swirly, so it looks more intentional. Otherwise, snappy little swim-leggings.

Whale shark leggings!

Thank you for contacting me after the Lahaina wildfires and offering to replace my leggings. That gesture alone was huge! They were my favorite leggings and I wore them all the time in and out of the water. I love that I have a new pair to start a new chapter in my life. You’ve got a loyal and grateful customer for life.

Beautiful pants

These look so beautiful when worn! I'd say they run a little bit small because I'm fairly petite and the small size was too tight -- I exchanged for a medium, and they feel great. Thank you Waterlust!

Love My Whale Shark Warrior Leggings & Sun Shirt

I haven’t really worn these pants or the hooded top yet, but I did try them on and fall in love with pattern, comfort, silkiness and fit. I was wishing it was colder out so I could wear for pj’s while camping. These seem well made, oh so cool! Highly recommend. Plus smart packaging/tags and blindingly fast delivery.
