So glad I came across these. And helping the oceans cause makes it even better.
As a 6'1" female, I had given up on trying to wear one piece swimwear. So glad I gave this a try! The fabric is great quality, the sleeve length is perfect and the colors are vibrant. It is extremely comfortable and allows for a great range of motion. The size calculator tool on the site is helpful and accurate. Will definitely be ordering more gear!
Aloha Fiona, Camilla, Laura, Patrick and all Waterlust Employees!
The only thing wishing to be added to this stylish, functional, and COMFORTABLE(!!) suit is a different and slightly more flattering neckline.
The suit's online fitting chart was very accurate and helpful for my online and first time purchase (I usually am able to send my exact measurements to my previous bodysuit providers, so having a standard size that fits me already is so wonderful, especially now that I know your size chart is accurate!).
My only input about the neckline is as follows:
Can you make different neckline shapes optional before purchase? If so, a true "V" shaped neckline would increase the overall aesthetic for my body dimensions, and others with my build. Currently the zipper/collar creates more of a circular shape.
I look forward to using your full coverage sun suits as my daily clothing options as with my Caucasian DNA and living in Hawai'i I have struggled to find SPF clothing that is not only responsibly sourced with eco-conscious clothing, but is durable (like yours!) and affordable (I usually have paid $220-$300 per suit from Europe and Florida). Shipping with recycled ♻️ material only adds to your commitment to excellence and increases my longterm loyalty to your company. Mahalo nui loa for your love of the ocean!!
I am not sure if 3D Knitting technology (in know of one in NYC) would be helpful, but it does provide less waste and more saving from a manufacturing side, and more customizable options for customers. It also "prints" (knits) articles of clothing with NO SEAMS which helps durability. See company www.oliver-charles.com using seacell/yak hair materials for their sweaters made by 3D Knit Machines.

I love these leggings. I want towear them everyday. And I love the patterns too
I ordered the size Strong, I am 5'4" and 130lbs, and honestly the leggings are still pretty tight around my waist. I might order a size up next time so I don't get uncomfortable. They are also extremely long. I rolled them up so I didn't have to wear them on my feet. The pockets are amazing! I love supporting ocean animals so I will order more orca items if they become available.
Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! It is great to get feedback on how our gear fits, I will make sure our design team gets this feedback. I wanted to share our instructional video on how to adjsut the inseam of your new leggings. All of our leggings are designed so that you can customize the inseam lengths to 31”, 29”, 27”, 25”, or 23”.
If you need any other help, shoot us an email at hello@waterlust.com and we would be happy to help :)
Best,
Camilla
I got these leggings to wear kayaking (specifically for taking out lots of different demo boats for lunch time paddle sessions from my shop's fleet). Hopping in for such a quick paddle often means not taking the time to really get the outfitting set up super well. The leggings have been super comfortable to wear even in boats with less than optimal outfitting--and as an added bonus, it's kind of nice to have a barrier between my legs and the sometimes river funk-i-fied demo kayaks. I know all the whitewater paddle bros think surf trunks are the cool way to go, but from a purely practical sense, leggings make a lot of sense--I think these will be my go-to choice this summer.
I’ve been wearing waterlust for years and they continue to impress. The quality of product exceeds similar companies. The material is thick and supportive. Colors and patterns are perfect. I have worn and washed some of mine many times over serveral years and have no stretching or fading. I just bought these shorts for a recent trip and the customer service was above and beyond. After a website glitch they reached out and went out of their way to make sure I got the right product in time for my vacation. I didn’t have to ask, they just did. Will continue to shop here!
Love this shirt so much, both for usefulness in sun protection and because it's just so darn pretty! I fit the dimensions of the medium size but like my sleeves longer and a looser overall fit, so I sized up to a large and it's perfect. The return/exchange process was very easy and though I've only worn this sun shirt once so far, I hope and expect to get many fun wears out of this!
I got this "top" and the matching "pants" and I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of these items. They are very well made and appear to have what it takes to last. I have a Scuba trip to the Channel Islands near Santa Barbara coming up and I'm hoping these help protect my very sensitive skin from the elements, and I'm excited to try them out. My only "complaint" is the shape of the bottom of this "top". I already know the "top" is going to ride up my groin so I'm going to find a pair of boxer like something or other to avoid any chafing (I have a "long" torso).
So comfortable!! Fits great!
I lost my first one somewhere, and was happy to get a replacement. It has a Goldilocks fit around my ears - not too tight, not too loose. I wear it even indoors to keep my hair out of my eyes. I used my original one last year snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, and it was great there to keep my hair back so water wouldn’t get under my mask. No burnt ear tips either.
I so wanted to love them but even the largest size didn’t fit on my body comfortably. Easy return process. Beautiful colors.
Having skin cancer sucks, but with this suit I don't worry about it anymore. It's comfortable, cute and full coverage. I will purchase again and save my skin!!
I love the beautiful, soft and sustainable fabric! Customer support is also great. BUT the bra runs small: I am not a voluptuous woman (125 lbs, 161 cm, and with modest breast cup) yet the S fit very tightly. I exchanged for a M one and this one is okay.
Beautiful and soft fabric! Runs small, I think.
I love the design, but I think it’s a bit hard to see/read with the fabric as dark as it is. I feel like it’s needs to be tweaked a little for better visuals in that sense
This swim suit is everything I could ask for, the quality is really good and it’s very soft, the zipper in the back is great but I think the string attached to it could be a bit longer, other than that absolutely no complaints here!
It’s a bit tight on my butt cheeks but I generally fit everything tighter there so it’s expected for me. Everything else fits well. The stitching is great. The pattern is amazing!

I'm 5'7, 145lbs, I ordered a size M and they fit perfectly. I can't wait to wear these on my next snorkeling adventure!
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
