Built for the Long Paddle Out
Some mornings start with a long paddle out, the water still glassy and the trade winds barely awake. The Koloa Tunnels Short Sleeve Men's Rash Guard was made for those sessions, when you want a layer that stays put while you duck dive, paddle and turn for the next wave. Think of a Poʻipū morning with salt air in your lungs and the first sets rolling in.
Once the surf is done, the same shirt carries you from the beach to the shade of a lunch spot without fuss. It is a practical piece for anyone who spends real time in the sun and salt, whether you are chasing swells at Tunnels or just wading out with the kids. Sun-faded afternoons and the walk back to the car feel a little easier when your shirt is already doing its job.
What Goes Into It
- 5.9-ounce, 90/10 poly/spandex stretch jersey
- PosiCharge technology woven into the fabric
- UPF rating of 50 for sun protection
- Designed to combat UV rays and moisture
- Trim, comfortable fit
- Raglan sleeves for easy reach and movement
- Short sleeves
- Available in Dark Smoke Grey, True Royal and Black
- Sizes X-Small through 4X-Large
Every detail is aimed at movement in the water, from the stretch of the jersey to the raglan cut that lets your arms rotate freely.
Fit and Sizing
The fit is trim and comfortable, so the shirt sits close to the body without feeling tight through the shoulders or chest. Because the fabric has spandex in it, it stretches with you as you paddle and pop up. If you are between sizes or want a specific measurement check, the size chart has the details to help you choose.
How to Wear It
Pull it on over your board shorts before the first session and leave it on through the day. It works just as well over a swimsuit for a quiet afternoon at Keālia or a slow wade at Anini with the family. Pair it with a light pair of shorts and a cap, and you are ready for the beach, the trail or the drive home.
Care
Rinse the shirt with fresh water after every session to clear out salt and sand. For washing and drying, follow the care label inside the shirt, which gives the right settings to protect the stretch and color over time.
