Caught Between Sun and Shower

Early on Kauaʻi, the sky can change in the time it takes to finish a cup of coffee. One minute you are walking out with a board under your arm and sunlight on the water, and the next a fast shower rolls across the hillside. The Koloa Thruster Water Resistant Windbreaker was made for that moment, so you can keep moving from a Poʻipū morning session to a trail and then to lunch without digging through a bag for a jacket.

It has a way of becoming the piece you reach for first. Pull it over a tee after a surf, zip it up for the drive home, or layer it over a hoodie when the trade winds pick up on a long afternoon at Hanalei. It packs light, rides easily in a bag, and feels just as at home on an early paddle as on a slow walk back up the sand.

Fit and Sizing

The Thruster is offered in sizes Small through 3X-Large, so you can find a comfortable fit whether you like it close to the body or a little roomier for layering over a hoodie. Check the size chart before ordering, and if you are between sizes, think about how you plan to wear it on a typical day.

How to Wear It

Keep it zipped over a dry tee after a session at Tunnels, or throw it on loose with the hood down while you wander the shops in Kalapakī. On cooler evenings, layer it over a sweatshirt and pull the toggle at the waist for a snug line when the wind comes up along the coast. It also works as a light layer on a trail or a beach walk at Lumahaʻi when the clouds roll in.

Care

Follow the care label inside the jacket for washing and drying instructions. Taking a little time with the care label will help keep the coating, zippers and colors looking their best through many seasons of use.
