Common questions about men's swim leggings and shorts
What are the men's leggings for?
The men’s swim leggings keep the sun off your legs in the water and out of it, which matters because the backs of the legs are in full sun when you swim, snorkel or sit on a board. They also stop board rash and take the edge off wind and cool water. They work just as well as activewear on land, for hiking, running and cycling, with quick-drying, stretchy fabric that keeps the sun off your legs on long days outdoors. UPF 50+ leggings block at least 98% of UV for the whole session.
Do they protect against jellyfish and sea lice?
Yes because the fabric is woven so tightly jellyfish and sea lice cannot sting through the fabric.
What do men wear over swim leggings?
You don't need to wear anything over the swim leggings. However, you can wear swim shorts or board shorts over them if that is preferred when doing activities like surfing or swimming.
Why choose equatorsun for men's swim leggings and shorts?
Ordinary swim shorts and leggings are rarely tested for UV and they can let through up to 10 times more UV than UPF 50+ swim shorts and leggings. Every equatorsun piece is tested to the AS/NZS 4399 or EN 13758 standard and certified UPF 50+, which means the fabric blocks at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays from reaching the skin it covers. Leading UK consultant dermatologist Dr Dev Shah recommends the equatorsun range. We're a UK family business and have specialised in sun protective clothing since 2006.
