The Lane: Stay Drier, Perform Better.

Built to solve the problem of cold, wet rash guards & sun shirts, The Lane is engineered to perform both in and out of the water, excelling in alternating wet + dry activities.

Impeccable construction, a tailored fit and great UPF protection combine to make The Lane Hydrophobic Shirt one of the most versatile garments available. 

“I'm more excited about it than my first wetsuit I got in the 70s.”
Reinhard Elischka, Professional Kite Instructor, Maui

**Please note: We have removed the shirt pocket. Most customers confirmed that they did not use the pocket, and by removing it we were able to hold the price point, rather than increase it. It is possible you receive a shirt with a pocket in your order. If you do not want a pocket, please advise us in advance at aloha@bluesmiths.com**

Men's Lane Fit Bluesmiths

What's the difference between most water shirts and the Bluesmiths shirts?
Most surf shirts absorb water. The Lane and Kanaha repel water and, when they do wet out, they dry incredibly fast.

What is the most common feedback from riders?
Many riders tell us that they're impressed with how the shirts keep them warm when they need to (wind chill is reduced), yet they breathe incredibly well, making them more comfortable when they're working hard - on or off the water.

Do they work for other sports and activities?
Absolutely. They're great for any activity with changeable conditions such as sailing, hydrofoiling, windsurfing, kite-surfing, cycling, boating or working out to name a few.

What's NanoSphere?
This Schoeller® fabric technology is incredible. It’s the best performing, most durable water repellent treatment we could find. And we tried a lot

NanoSphere uses nanotechnology to allow the fabric to repel water. When the fabric does finally wet out, it dries extremely fast. We think it’s revolutionary in application for sports where we face alternating wet-and-dry conditions.

NanoSphere is naturally self-cleaning, even repelling wine and oil, plus it increases fabric durability.

For Bluesmiths, this all means better on-water performance, increased versatility and longer lasting clothing. Further, you can wash at lower temperatures, making it more environmentally friendly.

Bluesmiths is the first and only brand to apply NanoSphere® to an ocean shirt, so we’re pretty excited. It’s also included on our Spartan shorts.

The Bluesmiths Difference

Performance

Bluesmiths Hydrophobic Shirts repel water, meaning they stay drier for longer.

As a result, you're more comfortable, you perform better and you get more water time.

Nanosphere® technology is the best performing water repellent fabric technology we have ever tested - and we tested a lot.

Comfort

Sun Protection: UPF 35 Sun protection (wet or dry).

Our shirts reduce abrasion thanks to a combination of movement-enhancing flatlock needlework, excellent fit control and Bluesmiths' signature double-needle stitching.

Versatility

Whilst optimized for activities with alternating wet & dry conditions, Bluesmiths' timeless designs work perfectly both on and off the water.

Ideal for: sailing, stand-up paddling (SUP), foiling, wing-surfing, kiting, windsurfing, outrigger canoe paddling (OC), hiking, backcountry adventures, skiing & snowboarding (base layer), cycling and mountain biking, fitness training etc.
