👕 Columbia Women's PFG Bahama II UPF 30 Fishing Shirt for Long Sleeve Protection Review

I usually wear a size small (5ft 5in, 130lbs) but this shirt is quite large. Had to order an XS but even that is a bit too roomy However nobody wants a tight or constricting field shirt so the XS fits me well Breathable, quick drying, easy to clean (the shirt in beige looked rough after two days of roaming the African jungle - completely covered in mud, a bit Blood (scraped off) and stained vegetation! - but a quick hand wash in the sink with soap and all the stains were gone).

These Bahamian shirts are usually oversized. I wear a large size for all shirts, but I always order a medium size for Bahamian short sleeve shirts. The short sleeve version seems to work as expected so the plus size fits well. I love this new Tiki Pink. The color is light peach (lighter than the picture in the product description). I am very happy with this purchase, especially the color! The only shirts I wear now are these Bahamas. I think I have all the colors now. These shirts are very…

This is my third Columbia Bahama women's long sleeve shirt. I bought this particular paint (fossil) specifically for working in the garden or photographing in more difficult locations; ie I wanted a special shirt that I wouldn't worry about. I wear it over other clothes for sun protection. The collar can be buttoned up for protection from the sun and unbuttoned when there is no sun. The sleeves can be folded down or rolled up as shown. The two Velcro pockets are a reasonable size for what I…

I was expecting the shirt to be as fluffy and loose as it is - I think it should allow air to circulate around your body - but I wasn't expecting such a heavy, dense fabric. I believe it offers excellent SPF 50 sun protection, but I was also looking for a light, breathable shirt. Just wearing it at home (temp 68 degrees) didn't feel cool and I can't imagine being comfortable in the northern Arizona heat this summer. I use the Columbia Tamiami II which is much lighter and feels more breathable…

This Bahama Columbia women's long sleeve shirt is exactly what I was looking for to provide UV protection in my everyday activities. I'm a photographer and gardener in the very sunny New Mexico high desert and was looking for sun protection clothing. Over the years I've tried other sun shirts that I've never worn because they were either ugly or impractical. This shirt has two pockets with velcro closure. It can be worn with the long sleeves down and buttoned up, or with the sleeves rolled up…

I ordered this shirt after a trip to the state park convinced me I was a total outdoor person. I like being outdoors more in the sense that I like getting drunk on patios, but I'm more outdoorsy. I didn't wear it for about 3 months, but then I wore it kayaking and working on my aunt's farm and then hiking in the Olympic mountains. a fitted shirt for hiking or kayaking. I'm really impressed with the build quality, the rubber buttons feel indestructible. As I swam in it, I was pleased that the…

This is the second Columbia women's long sleeve shirt I've bought this month and I've ordered a third. I've been looking for sun protection clothing for years and have never found one to wear more than once or twice at any price. When the first such shirt arrived (with the Collegiate Navy) I knew it was a shirt I would wear regularly and immediately ordered one in Isla from another supplier. I live in the very sunny high desert of New Mexico and am a photographer and gardener. This spring I was
