This short served my travel purposes,
I purchased this shirt for a backbacking/biking trip, in Europe. I wanted a shirt that could be washed in the sink and dry over night, becuase I was riding to the next hotel, each night. It served it purpose and it is not a bad looking shirt. But, honestly I purchased a FILA sport shirt at Khols for $9 dollars that was my favorite and most servable shirt, on this trip. The FILA shirt was 96% polyester and 4% spandex. The FILA shirt was good looking and more closely looked liked a regular cotton T-shirt. So, you will not be unhappy with this shirt but you can save some money on a alternative shirt.

|Great shirts,
You know how sportswear is always saying that it “wicks away moisture”? I’m a pretty sweaty guy, and this is the first shirt I’ve found in 20 years of looking that actually keeps the promise. They are lightweight, comfortable, and dry almost instantly when they get wet. I’m buying lots of them.

|Great travel shirts, too…,
I’ve got three of these by Columbia. I found they are a true “Large” (my size) vs. another brand sold by BPS, where I’d have to go to X-Large, which then throws off how the shoulders fall. These shirts have flaps, and if they don’t fit correctly, you can look like Batman…like you have a cape. So,these fit true to size.
Besides fishing, I took them on a trip to southern AZ and wore them on desert excursions. Not only did they keep me cool, but I could actually wear the sleeves rolled down, blocking my arms from the very hot sun and prevented burn.
Make sure you check all the colors, as some of the shirts are less expensive than others. Got a great deal here for the beige one.
Shirts are also very light and can be folded into a backpack. If need be, they are easily washed out by hand and dry quickly. I also wore these out to dinner. Not one person even hinted that I looked like a superhero.

|not just for fishing!,
First, I am a woman. Second, I don’t fish. Still, I adore these shirts! I bought one in Bright Blue in March and just bought another in a lighter blue (sail blue?) so I don’t wear out the first one. Why, you may ask, do I love this men’s fishing shirt since neither a man, nor do I fish? Here are some reasons:
1. Colors are really beautiful. You can’t tell from the pictures how nice they look in person. The bright blue was more of a deep periwinkle and the lighter one is more subtle, as expected, and really nice. These aren’t the boring, flat colors you see so often.
2. Comfortable material that drapes nicely and washes beautifully without using some special cycle or hanging dry. They come out fresh and unwrinkled wash after wash (I am NOT careful about washing clothes so this is great).
3. Fabulous material for hot weather. I bought the first one in anticipation of the terrible summer heat here in TX. I wanted something with sunscreen fabric that wasn’t too tight (so I could wear it over other clothes all year round, while cycling or gardening) and this shirt was beyond my wildest hopes! The material is so lightweight and breathes so well that it is comfortable wearing outside even in 110 degree heat with the sleeves down to protect my arms from the sun. In spite of the fabric being so lightweight, it doesn’t feel cheap or insubstantial. As a matter of fact, this shirt looks nicer than many expensive men’s dress shirts I’ve seen and it is literally the most comfortable piece of clothing I own!
4. Pockets pockets, pockets!! It’s impossible to find women’s clothes with useful and plentiful pockets so I really appreciate this. the pockets have velcro or button enclosures so your stuff stays put and because of the wonderful material they don’t bulk up the shirt like you might expect. I can’t rave enough about the pockets…love them!
5. Packs really well for travel. It folds down to almost nothing and comes out well after being crammed in a suitcase so this is another great thing.
To be fair, I need to list what I don’t like about the shirt. I really thought hard and after wearing the first shirt for 6 months, this is all I could come up with:
1. somewhat expensive. This isn’t a cheap shirt, which is why I only ordered one at first, but I can honestly say it was worth every single penny!
2. sleeves don’t stay folded up very well. OK, when I’m not worried about the sun I hate long sleeves so I often fold up the sleeves and wear them at elbow level. They have a very cool elastic loop on the outside of each sleeve just for this. You loop a piece of fabric through and button it to hold the folded sleeves up. Because the fabric is so soft and drapes so well, the sleeves aren’t quite stiff enough to stay folded well. The loop assembly is strong, looks nice and holds well, but the folded up sleeves tend to “unwrap” and you have to adjust them periodically.
Even with that small flaw, I love, love, love this shirt!!

|Good shirt,
I work in the jungle in New Guinea and the dark blue shirts my company provides are not great in the weather and humidity. I bought this shirt to replace my work shirt and it is perfect for the environment. It fits well, and is super comfortable. Going to order several more to replace all my work shirts.
