Paddle Out at First Light
The alarm goes off before the trade winds wake up. You pull on a long sleeve, grab the board, and walk down to the water while the air still carries a bit of chill. Out past the break, the sky turns from grey to gold, and the only sound is the hush of small waves rolling in.
The Koloa Thruster Men's Long Sleeve T-Shirt was made for that stretch of the day. The sleeves keep the morning air off your arms, and the heavy cotton feels good after a salty session. Pair it with a rinse-off shower and an afternoon in the sun, and it becomes the shirt you reach for again and again.
What Goes Into It
- Heavyweight 6.1-ounce, 100% soft spun cotton (Ash color is a 98/2 cotton/poly blend)
- 1x1 rib knit collar that keeps the neckline neat
- Shoulder-to-shoulder taping to help the shirt hold its shape
- Coverseamed neck for a smooth finish
- Double-needle sleeves and hem for added durability
- Classic relaxed fit
- Twelve colors, each paired with a contrasting logo, including Black, Indigo Blue, Maroon, Sand, White, Military Green, Dark Chocolate, Navy, Stonewashed Blue, Texas Orange, Dark Heather Grey, and Stonewashed Green
The Thruster name refers to the three-fin surfboard setup that shaped modern surfing, and the graphic carries that surf heritage in a clean, wearable design.
Fit and Sizing
This shirt has a classic, relaxed fit. Choose your usual size for a comfortable shape, size down if you prefer a closer look, or size up if you like extra room through the body and sleeves. Sizes run from Small through 4X-Large, with tall sizes from Large Tall through 4X-Large Tall. Check the size chart before you order to find your best match.
How to Wear It
Wear it over a swimsuit on a cool Poʻipū morning, or layer it under a hoodie for a walk along the Hanalei shoreline. It also works with board shorts and sandals after a day in the water, and it looks just as good with dark jeans when the sun goes down.
Care
Follow the care label inside the shirt. Washing inside out in cold water and air drying will help the cotton and the graphic last longer, but always check the label for the full instructions.
