I generally wear a size L or XL, and chose a Large based on reviews and the size chart. It was too tight, and too cropped. I love cropped shirts but after trying the top on for only a couple minutes, it rode up. Can't imagine it would work while diving to stay put if it doesn't stay while dry. I think the size would have ended up working if it stretched out a bit when wet like most things do. I wish it had a sticky strip like bike shorts do a long the waist. I returned. Might try out the size XL eventually. The print is incredible!
Wow - beautiful colors, & pleasantly thicker material than I expected!
After wearing & showering in my leggings, I suggest adding a waistband drawstring, & additional inseam tacks at the “capri” length, just below the knee. (I’ll use my cutoffs as sleeves when I make a coordinated rashguard t-top.)
Proud to be supporting you guys & this work!
Incredible!! The material is so soft and flattering! The way they designed these to fit the human body so well is amazing. I will definitely be buying a top to match
I got my first pair of Waterlust leggings years ago. I run in them a couple of times a week, machine wash and dry them, and they are still like new. The fabric is so comfortable on my skin and the fit is perfect. After trying a few other brands and always being disappointed, I came back for another pair from Waterlust and they are just as great as my first pair. I look forward to many years of colorful workouts. Thank you!
If it helps anyone: if you have the sun suits and are trying a full body suit, I recommend using one size smaller. At least in my experience, in sun suits I’m S and for full suits I’m XS. (but hey, all bodies are different!)
Protects from the sun and is a layer of warmth in the water. Also a great protection from jellies and plankton. Love these pants, I have been buying for years. This color is really one of the best!
I'm super late reviewing this as I bought it in 2023, but since then I've worn it a handful of times to the beach and public pool. It fits great (I'm 5'4" and bought a Small/Strong), and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. One thing to note, and this may just be a me thing as I get cold easily, but since this isn't a wetsuit and isn't meant to be insulating I do find that after I've gotten wet I get extremely cold once I'm out of the water. I bought this mostly to hide my tattoos from the sun so this isn't a big deal, but ideally you'd want to use this for swimming when it's very hot out or if you have something dry to change into immediately after. Overall, I love it!
I am 5’6” and 130lbs and the small fit great! The material is also really high quality and I’m excited to start diving with it!
The pattern is beautiful, they fit great, and I feel like Aquaman
I was worried they were too small, but they fit great look great and movement is great. Can't wait to see if they can keep me warmer in this cold S California waters.
I already have the abalone top, so now I have 2 that I absolutely love! The fabrics are gorgeous, and feel wonderful, with a bonus that they are both reversible - thank you!!
Just got my first Waterlust “onesie” and it outdid my expectations. Quality is excellent. Fabric is so comfortable—and sustainable! Fit is fab. Plan to use for swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding and wing foiling. Love it!
SPONGEBOB SQUARE PANTS!!
I am 60 years old and I do not like to show my white 60 year old legs at the pool at the gym. I have tried other brands of swim pants and the have not fit right :( I love to two pairs that I purchased from Waterlust! I wore my SpongeBob outfit to my water Pilates aerobics class last night and everyone was asking where I had bought the outfit from. I got sooooo many compliments :) One thing I would like to suggest about the tops, I am a two time survivor of breast cancer and because of that I have one breast that is larger than the other. I would love it if you had the option to have removable pads in the top. I have put a pad inside of the smaller side but it tends to move around when I am swimming. I am thinking of cutting a slit on the inside of the top and see if it will stay put if it is between the material. I just ordered two more outfits this week and cannot wait for them to arrive!
It's a super comfy shirt and it doesn't affect any of the sensitivities i have to certain clothing! Plus the design is rad.
I’m a scuba instructor + mermaid instructor trainer and having fun, comfy, and well made water apparel is a big plus. These leggies are soft and vibrant and will help you slip into your wetsuit, tail, or sport them without either!
Not to mention all the good that Waterlust does with their brand. Way to go!
I’m 200 lb, 5’7 (mostly legs!), and bought the XXL. They are long enough for my legs, fit in all the right places, and have…. Wait for it…. Pockets.
Pockets!
10/10 get them. They make me SO HAPPY.
I’m ready! I’m ready! I’m ready!
What was advertised is what was delivered.
Absolutely stunning and fits great!
I love the pattern and the fit of all my waterlust clothes! Got me through some rebreather training already, can’t wait to see where else they get to dive!
The headbands and hat are great for being out in and on the water.
Purchased a swim top and shorts. Neither fit, but returning them was a breeze. Camilla was wonderful to work with. I love this company, but I just can't get their products to fit correctly.
Love the concept however the material is quite heavy. I feel like I might sweat to death if I actually wore it to the beach.
After being disappointed with my first purchase and the fit of the leggings, Waterlust went above and beyond to make it work. Fabulous customer service from this company.
I love these leggings. I do not live near the ocean, but I love to hike, and these are the best hiking pants ever. They’re durable, comfortable and don’t look dirty easily… A plus when you need to pack light!
This is my 2nd pair of whale shark leggings! I recently lost some weight (yay for me!) and therefore needed to buy a smaller size... I wear the hell out of these leggings and they've never disappointed! Been washed MULTIPLE times and still hold the same glorious coloring! LOVE LOVE LOVE these leggings!! :)
2nd purchase of these leggings - perfect for on land use and water use - will be buying more
The fit, style and wear are amazing… now I want one in every design!!! Thank you
