Customer Reviews Columbia Tamiami™ II Long Sleeve Shirt

I work outdoors in a hot, humid summer climate and these shirts are cool and comfortable on the hottest days. They are wrinkle proof, wash easily, and dry in no time. Absolutely great product.

I have a sun allergy (PMLE) that makes it difficult for me to be outside on sunny or cloudy days in the summer, even off hours (9-10a, 3-5p). I used to have to buy my UPF clothing from a specialty online shop that was very expensive. It was nearly impossible to find clothes that didn't look like a burqa, had a bit of stretch, and were comfortable. Then I came across this shirt on another site, and it is my go to. I have it in white (please note, you can't bleach it, but oxyclean does a nice job in brightening it). I love the small touches, like the snap buttons which make it easy to adjust to varying heat. The small zippers hidden in the side seam. The seams that make it fit as a women's shirt should! Roll-up sleeves that also snap easily. Venting in the back that isn't obvious, and stretch for comfort. That said, I would recommend sizing up. The sizes are true, but it is a fitted shirt. I recently tried a new one on at an outdoor store, and the large was much more comfortable in the shoulders and when stretching my arms out, plus the cuffs fit slightly looser. I'm almost always a Medium (5'8", 150lb), and my original shirt (in white) is a medium, but I'm adding a second one in Large. Columbia has another long-sleeve shirt that is cute, but the colors are really bright and rather unattractive. Both shirts are slightly sheer - not a problem as I layer and/or are often wearing a bathing suit underneath. The colors though are VERY sheer in the other shirt - less so in this one. The sheerness looks fine in the white, but in the colors, the placard and seams are doubled for durability, and it looks dopey in the colors since the shirt is sheerer than the seams. Overall, I couldn't be more thrilled with this shirt. I've tried others, but none fit as well, are as comfortable, have snaps (surprisingly important), stretch, and an attractive fit that looks like a "normal" shirt. I highly recommend. Oh, and did I mention they LAST? I bought mine 5 years ago and I wear it often - multiple days a week in the summer.

I bought this shirt for a safari coming up in August. The lightweight material is moisture wicking, and the sleeves easily roll up, so i expect to be comfortable in this shirt. Love the snaps versus buttons on this very sharp looking shirt! I wish it also came in a tan or khaki color.

These are comfortable, soft, fit well, easily snap on, keep me cool and sunburn free. Also great colors ( I have bought most of them).

So far a great shirt. I like the snaps instead of buttons. The two option cuff is great too. Light weight and breathable. Wish for more color options that weren't pastel. I have 36F chest and Large fits without bubbling/gap.

This is the perfect sun shirt. It is light and airy yet keeps the bugs and sun at bay. The pockets are well placed (NOT over the boobs for a change) and the zippers keep things in them. I love having snaps instead of buttons. This is the fourth color of this shirt that I have bought. I wear it for biking and hiking. I am 5' 8" and 195 lb and the size XL fits me perfectly.

Appreciate a lightweight, snap shirt with the 2 zipper side pockets. It will be perfect for airport travel especially ~ Thanks!

Love these shirts, comfortable and lightweight, true to size, washes easily.

I have been wearing the Columbia sun shirts in various colors for years, but this is the first time I've ordered the Tamiami. I didn't realize how light weight it is, and I'm going to love this for warmer hikes. I'll miss the chest pocket, but the fit is perfect and I will really appreciate being cooler on the uphills and in the subtropics. Thank you Columbia.

Superb quality shirt, but not for curvy woman. Top fit great, but bottom part around hips really snug. Maybe petite sizing would help. I'm 5'3" around147lb

Was able to order this gem slightly different style than mine but it suits her better. Matching colors so you can tell we're together. Very comfortable light and breezy

Elegant and casual, both with the sleeve up or down

Perfect for the day that is a little cool. Easily placed in day pack when the day warms up.

I love this shirt--the pockets, the tapered look....but the "Tiki Pink" which the picture shows as a peach-color is NEON pink. Way too strong a color for me.

It was a bday presente and my friend loved it!!!!!

I love this shirt! It's more form fitting and I like that it doesn't have the bulky looking pockets on the front. Perfect for being on the boat!

The best, you can't ever go wrong with these shirts

Excellent shirt(s). I think I have five or six different colors in this shirt's style. I can wear them for days walking the Camino de Santiago in all kids of weather and they do not smell! The shirt washes easily and can hang to dry or can be throw in the dryer. I usually get a XL so I can be comfortable but I had to order a L this time. I do think they run true to size. I'm about a size 12. I love the small zipper pockets on each side seam. I like that it does not have chest pockets. The shirt is very light weight yet with sleeves completely down you will stay fairly warm. Over about 55 I wear the sleeves rolled up. In hot sun the fabric keeps you cooler. Great shirt. I'm glad it comes in so many colors.

One of my favorite go to's in place of a jacket or sweater. Can roll the sleeves up or leave them down. Hidden zip pocket keeps items secure.

Shirt is true to size, it fits my wife well. Nice color and excellent price

Love this shirt! Slightly fitted, not too long and the snaps are delicate!!

great shirt, love the shirt and fit. so lightweight and portable

great sun shirt for hiking, love the color choices

I work in an office - these shirts are perfect. I wear the black or navy ones almost every day.

I am glad to have found my favorite shirt again. I have not found any other shirt that has the fabric, the colors, the simple styling, and most importantly pockets at the bottom sides.
