I bought this and another brand to compare and this was by far superior. The material felt sturdy but stretchy and not see through when wet. It does fit very snug for a medium (5'7 and 159lbs) so be aware if you are conscious of your shape. Being high waisted, it does pinch in at the right place (avoids the sausage-link look) and it is the perfect ankle length. I deliberately chose this style from this brand because it looked like the alternate one with the side stripe, ended above ankle length. This pant also has a modesty mesh layer in the front (so not quite a panty). It gave enough coverage for me to feel comfortable not to have to wear bikini bottoms (I wouldn't be able to anyway as its so snug on my body!). I haven't had a use for the side pockets yet but I'm sure it can come in handy. I have already been on one snorkel trip for an hour and then walked around under the sun for another hour and didn't get burnt. I love it because I don't have to put on layers of sunscreen or get burnt where I inevitably miss a spot! Read more
Bought these leggings to wear so my wetsuit slides on easier. Perfect. As an added bonus it adds a little warmth too without any bouyancy. I'm 5'3" tall, 120 lbs, and the small fits good. Don't know why people complain about the waistband. Yes, it is wide but that's what keeps these in place. It doesn't roll or feel uncomfortable. Maybe they try to buy too small a size. The liner really isn't necessary and curls a little so I might cut it out. I'm going to buy another pair. Can't beat the price for the good, well made quality. Over 25 dives and they still look like new. Read more
I'm not interested in getting stung or sunburned, so I wear wear swim pants or thin wetsuit even when diving in warm Caribbean water. These are great. I do wear wetsuit pants sometimes, but mostly these because of the pockets on the thighs. I love pockets there. I've had other swim pants that slip down when in the water - how inconvenient. These stay put. I'm 5'4" size 14 and large fits perfectly and comfortably (the "Mr" in my username is my husband's - these are definitely cut for women). When diving, I have gear hanging on my BC, and I leave my rattle and GoPro attached by their tether and pop them each in a thigh pocket for easy access. They dry quickly and take a lot of wear. They are roughed up a little just above my butt where I think my dive tanks rub a little, but it's not bad and I'm happy with their durability. I'm not a proponent of yoga pants outside of the gym, so I can't speak to how these work for daily wear, but they are great in fresh and salt water (have not tried in chlorinated water). I think they would be comfortable as workout pants, too. Read more
I ordered these after my legs got beat up by the sand and surf while I was shelling in the water. They fit perfectly and I even had other people at the beach asking where I got them. The only thing I would have liked is if the bottom of the leggings were tighter against my ankles. The waves pushed sand and small shells up into my leggings and I had it all stuck to my legs!

Comfortable material. They held up for a week so, great to buy for just a few uses but no more because the elastic waistband fell apart and didn't hold up. Read more
