Customer Reviews Columbia Tamiami™ II Long Sleeve Shirt

I love these shirts because they are great for protection from the sun and have awesome ventilation so they were great in hot and dry and hot and humid climates. I love the roll up with buttons on the sleeves to hold them in place. I would love it it this shirt had more of a water resistance to it and more earth tone colors. Not so many bright colors.

I really like this shirt! The only thing that perhaps bothers me is that the fabric is a bit too thin for my taste in the sense that it's a bit clearing. But other than that it's great!

This is my third Tamiami shirt (have two white ones). I wear them when boating, golfing, or any other activity when I'm going to be out in the sun for extended periods of time. I live in FL so need the SPF 40 that the fabric provides. The color is true to how it appears on the web site. Fabric is easy to wash although the newer shirts seem to crease a little more than my older one. I put them in the dryer for two minutes on permanent press, then hang them to dry and they look good. They are very comfortable with flush zippers providing plenty of handy storage for golf tees or whatever.

I bought this shirt for riding in the desert heat. I love it, it runs just slightly bigger than some other Columbia styles, and I love the snaps. I do not love the side pockets, and they were uncomfortable enough that I simply cut them out, so now they are just zippers.

Great colors and many to pick and choose, very stylist but run a bit big and sleeves are a bit too long.

Love the styling of this shirt - very feminine. Super soft fabric that actually breathes! The only downside is that it runs VERY small - definitely order at least one size larger than normal & don't worry about the label :)

Everywhere I go I get remarks on my beautiful blouses and the vibrant colors. I have all colors and love the response I get to what I am wearing. I wear year round as I am so sun sensitive. Rain is never a problem, they dry instantly.

Fit is accurate. Shirt is comfortable and breaths in hot weather. Love the shirt. The only thing to note is that the white shirt is VERY sheer so take that into account depending on where you plan to wear this.

Your life probably needs at least one of these shirts. I have both long and short sleeve styles. I LOVE this shirt...but NOT for true work out in the brush or briars. The material has changed since I got my first one 3 years ago. These can PICK and pill. My badge lanyard rubbed a spot at the third button during the first day. I have individual GARMENT BAGS for these delicate babies. You better believe it. I work in a computer lab, and I travel worldwide to blazing hot sticky places. I wash them in the sink and they are good to go the next morning. I love that there are no pockets up top, I already have that place taken. Everyone else has said the rest. Now, go on and order one.

I loved the shirt but returned it as the color Razzle was not at all what I saw on my laptop screen. It appeared to be a deep purple but was actually a medium pinkish purple.

Although I've not had an opportunity to wear this shirt, I've tried it on. It is light so will not be too hot to wear fishing and will help keep the sun exposure down. It would be nice if it was a tad longe.

Nice lightweight and cool material, very clean and fresh look; the only thing I find unattractive is the flap at the upper back - the purpose of this would be?

The material is very nice, it's cool and is wonderful for the outdoor purposes that it is intended for. I am a curvy girl and I wish that the bust fit correctly.

I love this shirt and its bright colors, but I wish the bright white mesh pockets matched the shirt. I leave my shirt open a lot because I wear it over a T-Shirt and the white mesh is always hanging out.

I already had one so I ordered two more. It has been my favorite summer shirt - cool, not heavy yet not sheer, doesn't wrinkle, flattering. I love the fabric - it's not stiff like my other synthetic shirts. And the colors are wonderful. I got the two blues this time. But... as other reviewers noted, the shirt is really small around the hips. I ordered my usual size, medium, and it is perfect except that it's tight around the hips. I wear sz 10 pants, and have to leave the last button unbuttoned. So I sent them back to get size large. Hence the 4 stars, not 5.

This is the 4th Tamiami shirt I bought. This white one replaced an older one which became too stained to use. I just returned from a trip to Ecuador where it was hot every day. I wore these shirts almost daily, washed them out at night and was ready to go the next morning (or in the case of the rainforest, they dried in 24 hours). They are comfortable and kept me dry. The 2 side zip pockets are convenient for small items. The fit is true to size and the style works alone or open over a tank or tee-shirt. The only negatives: the pockets do not hold larger items comfortably; they tend to stain easily.

I bought another model shirt last summer and fell in love with it. I live in the Tropics, it is hot and humid with sunshine all year round. The shirt gives good protection from the sun. I am surprised that it is suitable for the tropic, 'no sweat' at all.

This is a well fitting, attractive shirt with spf protection. My only complaint is the 2 side zippered pockets that run vertically. When I tuck this shirt in, the zippers pooch out rather than lie flat because they are stiffer than the rest of the fairly thin fabric. Perhaps the zippers could be shorter? Otherwise good value.

This shirt seems to run a little small especially through the bust area. I needed to go up to a 1x to get a little breathing room, and then the sleeves were a touch too long but still usable. Will probably send this one back. the color, while pretty is a little bright for the northwest outdoors. Wish this was available in earth tones so that you are not such a beacon while hiking.

I love, love, love this shirt. It's cool, comfortable, functional, and still attractive to wear. I only gave it four stars because I wish it came in a few more colors that aren't eye-blinding. I like the light blue, fossil, and the melon (predictably sold out in my size at present - probably because of the limited choice in muted tones), but I have a hard time with a lot of the others. Just because we're women doesn't mean we have to wear bright pink or purple or easter-egg teal! How about some more nice, muted earthy tones?

I work outside and wear these shirts daily. If they're stain-free, I use them for going to town. They're cool and very durable. The only gripe I have about them is about the velcro tabs on the collar: I have to take them off as they are just too annoying. If they didn't have the tabs, I would have given a 5-star rating.

This shirt feels so good to wear. It's lightweight and silky feeling. I like the fact that it has a tab for rolling the sleeves up in warmer weather. For me, the fit is a little snug because I like to layer underneath, so I would get a larger size next time. Other than that, it's really comforable.

Fit is fine. The white shirt is see through. The Columbia logo on the left breast area is half velcro and half sewn on. It looks bad and you can't remove it. Otherwise the shirt is fine .

Great shirt. Does run more on the slim side otherwise you need to size up. The person who this was intended for although petite needed to size from medium to large. Fortunately another member of the family could use the shirt who is slim and she loves it
