Customer Reviews
I love the Ascent Whale Shark Dive Leggings and matching Long Sleeve Rash Guard Suit from Blue Adaptation and I’m not exaggerating when I say that wearing them was one of the highlights of my encounter with the real things!
I purchased the Ascent Dive Leggings and Suit in advance of our recent trip to Isla Mujeres, Mexico to snorkel with whale sharks.
On the day, I felt strong and sleek in the water swimming and twinning alongside the majestic whale sharks. I looked a juvenile in the eye on my last swim of the day and seeing him seeing me was a spiritual experience that I will never forget.
I felt confident and I received compliments every time I wore the Ascent Whale Shark Dive Leggings in any combination. Perfect with the Long Sleeve Suit, I dig the Leggings paired with a Tankini, too!
In addition to serving looks on our trip I know I also did my part to keep the ecosystem free of chemical sunscreens by instead covering my skin with the super-soft, quick drying, vibrantly printed design of Blue Adaptation’s Ascent Whale Shark Dive Leggings and matching Long Sleeve Suit.
And lastly, an added benefit for me is that because I have a skin condition called polymorphic light eruption (PLE) which only affects me when exposed to large concentrated doses of the Caribbean sun (one of my very favorite things in the world!), the sexy and versatile protection offered by the Ascent Dive Leggings and Long Sleeve Rashie Suit is now a Swimwear staple for me on vacation whether I’m sipping cocktails poolside or making eye contact with whale sharks off the coast of Mexico!
Thanks for covering all my needs in style, Blue Adaptation!
I purchased these leggings to use for a few different activities: SUP, pool/beach days and snorkeling. So far I've only used them for SUP, but they were perfect! I love that they're not high rise, but they stay up well. I sized up since I don't like compression fits, but they're still tight enough to stay on in the water. The customer service was so helpful regarding fit (thanks Jamie!) Five stars all around.
INSPIRATION
BEHIND THE PRINT | SPECIES SPOTLIGHT
Inspired by the largest fish in the ocean, our design highlights the whale shark’s characteristic pattern of spots + stripes. It is thought that the unique white checkerboard pigmentation could be an adaptation for feeding near the water’s surface (aka natural sunscreen).
Inspired by the breathtaking beauty of an underwater coral reef, our design highlights the vibrant color + intricate latticework that make up a gorgonian sea fan. Although this branch structure may look like a plant, it’s actually an animal.
The vaquita is the world’s most endangered marine mammal, on the brink of extinction within our lifetime. These porpoises are found only in Mexico’s Sea of Cortez + at last estimate, only 9 of these magnificent animals remain.
Inspired by the striking, ornate beauty of the spotted eagle ray, our design highlights the intricate spots, rings, and concentrated markings that make each individual ray so unique. Similar to human fingerprints, each ray has its own unmatched skin pattern, no two are alike.
